Tracking progress towards Scripture access for all.
How Far We’ve Come
A global snapshot of Scripture access today.
At its core, ETEN champions a bold vision: every verse accessible in every one of the world’s 7,300+ languages. It is a long-term pursuit shaped by the desire to see the full Bible available to the 1.5 billion people with limited to no access to Scripture.
While that remains the ultimate goal, ETEN has identified a strategic milestone through the All Access Goals—clear targets focused on nearly 6,000 languages with higher vitality.
The Bible translation movement is accelerating like never before. Through collaboration and sharing resources, what once would have taken decades is now happening in years.
Thanks to shared data, reduced duplication and strategic collaboration, we’ve seen 62 years of acceleration toward global Scripture access.
Building Momentum
Closing the gap through prayer and innovation.
As the gap between today and 2033 continues to shrink, momentum is building. With prayer at the center, bold innovation and the unified efforts of partners across the movement, new ground is being covered every day.
From local churches and technology pioneers, to translation teams and global collaborators, God is using people and partnerships around the world to bring His Word to life faster than ever before.

Lives Transformed
Every number represents people meeting God through His Word.
Behind every milestone is a person, a family or a community forever changed:
A grandmother hearing Scripture in her own language for the first time.
A church discovering unity through God’s Word.
A young believer carrying a translated New Testament back to their village.
These are the stories that fuel the mission—reminders that Bible translation isn’t just progress measured in numbers, but lives touched by the living Word of God.

The Museum
of the Bible
Home to the illumiNations Gallery, where the story of Bible translation comes to life.
At the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., the illumiNations Gallery showcases the global progress of Bible translation. Each Bible on display represents a people group that now has access to God’s Word, while every placeholder represents people with limited to no access to Scripture.
ETEN helps curate these completed translations not yet represented in the gallery so that every language can one day be seen and celebrated.
