End Bible Poverty Now is an initiative of YWAM centered on making the Scriptures available to every nation, people group, and individual in their mother tongue. 

 

  The mission of ending bible poverty is central to the command of Jesus to "go and make disciples of all nations..." This is a burden we must carry as individuals and communities who have committed our lives to God and the commission of Jesus.

​

Romans 10:13-15 provides further urgency for believers to fulfill this task, it reads,

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

​

Through the past two thousand years, those who have forsaken their own lives to follow Jesus have centered themselves around the Word of God. As missionaries who seek to reach the unreached, the greatest tool we have to offer is the Bible. Wycliffe founder Cameron Townsend once quipped, "The greatest missionary is the Bible in the mother tongue..." Equipped with the Bible, we believe God is sending this generation into the nations to make Him known.
