God’s Word to the Nations Mission Society

Our Identity

God’s Word to the Nations is a mission society—a mission resource for God’s people!

Our Mission

To identify and empower individuals to take GOD’S WORD to the English-speaking people of the world, focusing especially upon those who do not know Jesus as their Savior.

Our Promise to Our Partners

Our Society will provide you with superb outreach materials. These materials will enable you to be used by the Holy Spirit to support a movement among God’s people to be active participants in his mission “to seek and to save people who are lost” (Luke 19:10). To this end, we promote the biblical outreach strategy: Become a Seed Planter and Change Lives.™

We Change Lives by:

  • Partnering with visionary leaders, local congregations, mission agencies, and evangelistic organizations.
  • Providing special editions of GOD’S WORD to individuals and organizations that are focused on reaching various people groups who do not know Jesus as their Savior.
  • Publishing customized ministry editions of GOD’S WORD for evangelistic use.
  • Licensing the print, audio, video, and electronic rights to GOD’S WORD.
  • Keeping the translation current in the language of today so that GOD’S WORD is the Bible for the next generation... and the next... and the next!

The GOD’S WORD Translation is Accurate, Understandable, and Relevant

The GOD’S WORD Translation Is in a Category All Its Own

GOD’S WORD was produced using a theory of translation that combines accuracy with understandability. This theory is called closest natural equivalence. In short, closest natural equivalence concentrates on accurately translating the meaning of the original languages into natural English.

At the same time, closest natural equivalence retains as many of the unique characteristics of the original text as possible without making the English translation unnatural or harder to understand than the text was in the original languages. That’s why you can hear God’s word in clear, natural English.

God’s Word to the Nations Mission Society was founded in 1985 as a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable/religious organization. Our society managed and funded the translation of GOD’S WORD.
