Millions have yet to hear God’s Word in their own language. Through prayer, you can be part of bringing the Bible to every heart, every tongue, every nation. Join Pray OMT and intercede for Bible translations that will change lives forever.

Loren Cunningham, the founder of YWAM who passed away in October 2023, carried a lifelong fire in his heart: to see the Word of God accessible to every person on earth in their own language. Today, that vision lives on through the Oral Mother Tongue (OMT) strategy—a powerful approach that empowers native speakers to translate the Bible accurately and clearly into their own heart language.

There are still thousands of languages spoken by hundreds of millions of people that have never had the Bible. But with OMT, translation doesn’t have to take decades.
Since its launch in May 2023, OMT has already shown incredible impact. In Nigeria alone, YWAM teams have completed 30 new Bible translations. Local churches are celebrating—not just because they finally have Scripture in their own language, but because it rings true. It’s accurate, it’s clear, and it speaks straight to the soul.
