A man asked William Cameron Townsend “If your God is so great, why doesn't he speak our language?" Today we ask ourselves "How can all people know our GREAT GOD" the answer is still - HIS WORD!

Millions of people are still waiting for a single verse of the Bible's life-transforming power in their language. Let's help churches and communities around the world get Scripture in their language... until all the nations worship!

Shepherd Church is currently funding translation work in the Sahara Desert, China & Japan.

Believers - In Unreached Places

Communities in the world that have never heard about Jesus are considered unreached. A variety of barriers delay access to these communities and make sharing the gospel challenging. There are about 7.84 billion people in the world today, with 17,409 known people groups. 7,402 OF THOSE GROUPS ARE CONSIDERED UNREACHED. The unreached communities do not have a viable church, scripture in their language, or anyone to share the Gospel with them.
