To advance God's Kingdom by funding the translation and printing of God's Word into the heart language of all people beginning in the former Soviet Union.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Advancing God's Kingdom by communicating His word in the heart language of all people.

  • God's Word for the Nations (GWN) focuses on the translation, publication and printing of Bibles, particularly in Russia, East Asia, Africa, Europe & Pacific. The intent is to produce Bibles that are exegetically accurate, understood and accepted by the communities for which these translations are prepared. GWN accomplishes this purpose primarily by the making of grants and allocations.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
