Picture this: 145 million people around the world are missing out on the joy of the Bible because it’s not translated in their mother tongue. That’s a big deal, and it’s not okay. But guess what? Things are looking up!

We’re in the middle of something huge and hopeful! YWAMers from every nation are linking arms with a shared dream: to make the Bible’s message of love and hope available to everyone, in every language. We’re talking about a connection that goes straight to the heart.

In the last ten years, our inspiring co-founder Loren Cunningham has been cheering us on, calling every YWAMer to be part of this amazing journey of Bible translation. Do we have what it takes to help finish this massive task? We’re not sure, but we’re ready to give it everything we’ve got, just like the young boy who shared his lunch and ended up feeding a multitude.

And the best part? We’re not alone. YWAM is now part of an incredible team-up, the biggest ever, with all the major Bible translation groups and other cool organizations that are just as excited as we are. Together, we’re recognizing that YWAM has something special to offer, and our fresh approach to Bible Translation is making people sit up and take notice. It’s a new way that could change everything. Let’s make history together!

And here’s your invitation to jump on board this life-changing movement. You’re welcome here, truly. There’s a spot for everyone. Whether you’re a Bible teacher with stories to share, a facilitator who brings people together, a writer who crafts compelling projects, a storyteller who captures imaginations, a performer who breathes life into words, an exegete who dives deep into texts, a translator who bridges languages, someone who loves to host and make people feel at home, or an administrator who keeps us all on track – your skills and passion are needed.

The University of the Nations is your launchpad, offering training for every calling. Dip your toes in with an online orientation or a 10-hour workshop. Dive deeper with a one-month program, or immerse yourself with a 12-week course. Dreaming of mastery? There’s a Bachelor of Arts in Oral Bible Translation waiting for you, or even a Master’s for those who aspire to mentor translators. Whatever your journey, however you want to contribute, there’s a path of training designed just for you. Join us, and let’s spread the Word far and wide, together!
