Working together to end Bible poverty—so every person can encounter God’s Word in their own language.

The All Access Goals driving a global movement.

aags bars small
For the first time in history, we envision that every community will have access to some Scripture in a language they can clearly understand.

*In developing the All Access Goals, ETEN used people group size categories as one way to provide structure around measurable Scripture access milestones. Within this framework, milestones included access to the full Bible for people groups of 500,000 or more speakers, the New Testament for people groups of 5,000 to 499,999 speakers, and Scripture portions for people groups of 1 to 4,999 speakers. Also, in the top 100 strategic written languages of the world would access a second translation, including critical revisions completed in 25 of those languages.

EVERY VERSE CURRENT

Beyond 2033.

The All Access Goals are just the beginning. They sit within the broader vision we call Every Verse Current—ETEN’s long-term desire for every person on earth to have access to the full Bible in a language they understand best.
 
While 2033 is a defining moment, Bible translation will continue far beyond it—ensuring every verse remains accurate, alive and accessible.

The History of ETEN

From fragmentation to unprecedented unity.

2010

Leaders from the world’s largest Bible translation organizations and resourcing partners recognized a hard truth: the task of eradicating Bible poverty was greater than any one organization could accomplish alone.

2010

Duplication was wasting time. Progress was too slow. Millions still lacked access to Scripture.

So they chose to work differently. They chose to unite. That choice gave rise to Every Tribe Every Nation (ETEN), a global Collective Impact alliance of Bible translation organizations, resource partners and leaders working side by side to accelerate progress toward their shared vision.

ETEN represents more than 90% of global Bible translation work, mobilized through implementing partners, resourcing partners and downstream partners.

Today

Through prayer, shared strategy, transparent data and bold innovation, progress that once seemed impossible is now within reach.
