A community of giving and receiving
Receive from the Last Mile church each month
Faith forged in fire. Wisdom refined in the hardest places on earth. The Last Mile Church has something to teach us — and we have the privilege to partner with them.
Three kinds of Champions. Three ways to receive.

How it works
Scripture goes out. Wisdom and joy come back.
01
We partner.
ethnē partners with leading Bible translation organizations across the Last Mile.
02
They publish. We launch.
Bible translators publish to the ethnē app the day it’s ready.
03
She hears, and shares
In her heart language. Phone to phone, offline, in relationship.
04
You receive
Champions learn from the Last Mile church — and celebrate every language launched together.
Congregations
Become a Church Champion
Your monthly partnership launches Scripture into new languages in the ethnē app — inspiring and equipping your congregation in partnership with the Body of Christ in the Last Mile. The easiest first step: host a Last Mile Sunday.
⛪ Last Mile Sundays
A “moment for mission.” Q&A over coffee. An ethnē experience for those who opt in — we’ll work with you to set up what’s best for your congregation.
🤝 Pastor to pastor
A monthly note: encouragement for you, and something to share with your congregation.
🌎 Everything your team needs, nothing to manage
Open to your whole team, anytime: multiple ways to go deeper with ethnē in your neighborhood and in missions.
Answers for your pastor or missions committee
What does our gift enable?
$500 a month launches a new language in the ethnē app each year, and supports the community using it through their first year. $1,000 a month launches two. (Average launch cost; translators decide when and what they publish.)
Can we pick which translation we launch, or suggest a new one?
Please contact us with the specific details of the translation and a link to it, if you have one. What we add next depends on local demand in the Last Mile and our ability to get permissions.
Does this gift fund translation?
No. ethnē does not translate. Translators translate, on their timeline. Your gift launches their finished work to the people it was made for.
Does our church receive the Champion membership benefits?
No. Labs, the Momentum Dashboard, and the gifts are what an individual membership buys — a subscription for services. A church gift receives the story: impact reporting, a monthly note from our pastor to yours, and celebration of every launch. Keeping the two separate is what keeps your gift fully tax-deductible — and anyone in your congregation can join as an individual Champion.
Who does our church give to?
A top-rated 501(c)(3) nonprofit that manages hundreds of charitable projects is our fiscal sponsor. Giving details are handed to you personally.
Is it tax-deductible?
Yes, for gifts through the fiscal sponsor.
Why is ethnē structured this way?
We operate as The Discipleship Platform, LLC, under a fiscal sponsor, so our people’s names stay off public records. Where we work, that protects our team and those we serve while ensuring the same governance required of any non-profit.

Be a Catalytic Champion
You know what it takes to see an opportunity before other people do, go all in, and see it through.
This is our Kingdom opportunity: Bible translation is moving faster than at any point in history. The Last Mile church is ready. But delivery lags behind.
Your gift closes that gap — launching every language that follows, for years to come, in the most unreached places on earth.
Four family foundations have given $50,000 or more, for multiple years running. Will you be the next?
We want meaningful giving and receiving with you
Receive touchpoints how and when you like them. And if you’d like, go deeper with our team behind the scenes or over a meal.
