URGENT ACTION REQUEST

Help us raise £150,000 to carry our work forward

Since 1888, Lifewords has been helping people all over the world encounter the Bible in ways that bring hope, dignity and transformation. Through social change, war and peace, technological revolutions and cultural shifts, we have continued to share the life-giving message of Scripture with people around the world. Hundreds of thousands have been impacted by the gospel of Jesus Christ, and many empowered, equipped, and encouraged to share life words.

Today, that work is at risk.

‍

Due to significant funding challenges, Lifewords is facing the real possibility of having to shrink the organisation very dramatically.

Were this to happen, such levels of downsizing would greatly impact the effectiveness of a global ministry that has:

• Shared more than one billion Scripture resources
• Helped pioneer Bible engagement in over 250 previously unreached languages
• Produced resources in more than 1,000 languages over its history
• Continued to serve churches, communities and individuals in more than 50 core languages to this very day

A global ministry that supports people like Pastor Teófilo in Chile to be a constant presence in his community, in public spaces, in the homes of those he pastors. He shares:

Lifewords has been a constant in our ministry since the 1990s when I arrived in Chile as a Brazilian missionary. It is a privilege to be part of this global network of people seeking to bring life.
‍
What I value most is that Lifewords booklets are not mini-sermons or text-heavy articles - they carry the essential core of God's Word, presented with elegance and clarity.

‍

We believe God is opening the door to a new chapter to resource and partner with ‘lifebringers’ just like Pastor Teófilo .

Lifebringers is our framework for a growing movement of ordinary Christians sharing life, hope and faith in their everyday worlds. Through resources, stories, partnerships and creative projects, we want to equip a new generation of people to bring the Bible to life in their communities, workplaces and relationships.
