Can You Help Us?

It's Time to Go Global

We want to prioritize access to those who are most under-resourced and marginalized when it comes to biblical tools. It’s time for 100% of the world’s population to have access to the biblical languages. For that we need an army of volunteers. We need YOU.

We want to equip the global Church with access to the biblical languages so that they can do quality, sustainable Bible translation and create contextualized, theologically-sound biblical resources in every language where it’s needed. This is one of the most fundamental elements that any translation or church needs. We aim to do this by providing all our resources as Public Domain so that they can be translated into the strategic languages of wider communication. This is a massive undertaking.

That’s where you come in.

Skills & Help Needed

  • Animators/Artists – if you’d like to donate your artistic skills to help the world learn Hebrew (and get your work seen by thousands of people), please send us some samples of your work!
  • Film/Acting – if you are a filmmaker or actor, we need volunteers to film short scenes of specific actions for teaching verbs or storytelling, as you see in our videos. If you’re interested please introduce yourself and send us some samples of your work!
  • WordPress Web Maintenance with Elementor – if you have experience with this, we need someone to help maintain the website, optimize it for search engines, and work with translators to get it into more languages. If you’re interested please introduce yourself and tell us about your experience!
  • App Development – if you know Flutter or are willing to learn how to use it, we are currently developing a free app that will provide access to our resources, both online and offline, and guide the student through the language-learning process. We have a team of volunteers and project manager, and would love more skilled people to join us. If you’re interested please introduce yourself and tell us about your skills and experience!
  • Non-profit consulting – if you have experience leading a non-profit or ministry in the USA, we need someone who would be willing to help give advice and answer questions now and then. If you’re interested please introduce yourself and tell us about your experience!
  • Advocate for Our Vision and Resources – we’d love to see at least one person in each country/language of the world who is eager to spread our vision regularly online, as well as orient churches, seminaries, and other institutions on how to use our resources.  If you’re interested please reach out and introduce yourself!
  • Free Multilingual Hebrew Interlinear – want to help make a free, public domain Hebrew interlinear in your language? Watch this video to see how, try out the app in English, and see if it looks like something you’d enjoy. If you’d be interested in contributing as a volunteer, please write us and tell us about yourself and your background/training in Hebrew.
  • Free Multilingual Hebrew Lexicon – most languages of the world have no Hebrew lexicon, which is one of the most important tools for Bible study and translation. Since the BDB lexicon in English is Public Domain, we want to get it translated into as many languages as possible, and make it freely available as an open-source app. This project is still being developed so that volunteers can help. If you’d be interested in contributing to this in the future, please write us and tell us about yourself and your background/training in Hebrew.

Translation Needed

We need volunteers from the list of languages below to help us with the following tasks. Please make sure to contact us first to find out if someone has already translated into your language:

  • Translate as much of our web page as possible. Here’s a tutorial video on how to do it.
  • Translate these grammar lessons from our Resource page.
  • Translate the titles and descriptions of our videos on this list.
  • Help us translate this script into your language, and then find someone with a great voice to record it as professionally as possible. We need a voice that is warm, energetic, and joyful. You can even record on a phone if you have a quiet room (sit on your bed and put a thick blanket over you like a tent so that it sounds more professional). We’ve completed this already in the following languages: Italian, Hindi, Chinese, Amharic, Tigrinya, Jamaican Patois, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Malayalam, Pakistani Urdu, Korean, Thai, Arabic, Romanian, Mongolian, Indonesian, Swahili.
