We envision every tribe and language saying:

“God speaks my language!”

No matter how small their language community. No matter how remote their village.

Why now

More than 3,000 languages still have no Scripture at all.

Most are spoken, not written.

So translators are doing something different. They translate Scripture the way their people speak it, out loud, and record it.

But Bible apps wait for a finished, written Bible. Translators don't. They complete an audio passage this week and want their community to hear it today.

So they publish each passage in the ethnē app the day it's ready, and people share it phone to phone, even offline.

When someone hears Scripture in their own language, everything changes — not just for them, but through them.

"We celebrated like the coronation of a king."

— a community in East Africa

For the first time, the Word of God sounded like it was for them.

Translators are publishing in language after language. Last Mile Champions join with them so that the Word of God is free and available the day it's ready, and communities can hear it and share it, even without internet.

FAQ

What does my membership include?

It's a subscription for services, so it isn't a donation. You receive the member benefits above. It also keeps the Bible free in the ethnē app for everyone to hear and share.

What languages will be added next?

Last Mile translators working within trusted and established organizations publish their own work in the ethnē app, on their timeline.

To add an existing translation, we need permission from whoever holds its rights, and we prioritize what the Last Mile church is asking for. Have a specific translation in mind? We’d love to partner with you, if possible. Please contact us with the details and a link to the translation, if you have one.

Is it tax-deductible?

No, and here’s why: Champion membership is a subscription for services. We operate as The Discipleship Platform, LLC so our people’s names stay off public records. Where we work, that protects our people and those we serve. We are a fiscally sponsored project with a top-tier nonprofit, with the same governance required of any nonprofit. If you’re a church or foundation that needs its details and EIN, we’ll provide them. If tax-advantaged giving matters to you, reach out.

Can I change or cancel my membership?

Anytime, from your account.

I joined ethnē as a Champion. Translators in the Last Mile are publishing God's Word in languages that never had it, and Champions help keep it free for everyone. Would you join our team?
