Help put the Bible into the language Lebanese people call home.
We are working toward the first complete Bible in Lebanese Arabic: translated, checked, recorded, and made accessible for the people of Lebanon and Lebanese communities around the world.

What the full work requires
to fund translation, checking, and recording of the whole Bible: about $1,879 for each of its 66 books

Every gift moves the number.
Latest total
$100, $500, or $5,000: each yes carries this translation forward.
Move the numberBecause the heart hears differently in its own language.
Millions of Lebanese people speak Lebanese Arabic in their homes, friendships, prayers, and everyday lives, yet there is no complete Bible available in that heart language.
Natural
Scripture that sounds like the language people actually speak.
Church-based
Translated and checked alongside Lebanese believers and leaders.
Accessible
Prepared for text, audio, and digital distribution around the world.
$124,000 translates the whole Bible.
Divide that across the 66 books of Scripture and the number becomes simple: roughly $1,879 carries one book from first draft to a checked, recorded Lebanese Arabic text.

A book at a time
$124,000 ÷ 66 books. One gift of $1,879 funds a complete book of the Bible in Lebanese Arabic.
Illustrative math to make the budget easy to picture. Gifts fund the project as a whole, not a single named book.
Choose a match level and double every gift that follows.
A lead partner can commit at one of three levels: $5,000, $10,000, $15,000. Every public gift is then matched dollar for dollar up to that amount, so one commitment releases twice its value toward the $124,000 budget.
Select a level to see exactly what it unlocks.
