Opening the Gospel to the World—One Language at a Time

The Great Commission calls us to share the Gospel with everyone in a way they can truly understand. Yet only 6% of the world’s population speaks English natively, and nearly 75% of people worldwide do not speak English at all. Even in the United States, tens of millions use another language at home. Over the decades, Palau has reached millions through English and Spanish, but new believers consistently ask for discipleship resources in their own heart language because understanding God’s love deeply matters.

‍

Today, what once felt impossible is becoming reality. Through innovative AI-powered translation tools combined with careful human review, Palau is building a fully multilingual digital evangelism and discipleship pathway. Last year, the entire Hope with God journey, from Gospel ads to the Made New new believer program, was translated into Albanian for TiranaFest, marking the first complete pathway in a new language.

Versions in French and Portuguese are going live, with Arabic, Mandarin, and Urdu coming next, languages spoken by hundreds of millions. Our vision is to expand this experience into 30 languages, including websites, videos, Gospel campaigns, and a biblically trained chatbot. Every translation is more than words. It is an invitation to meet Jesus in the language of the heart.
