The "I Want to Know " campaign gives everyone the opportunity to sponsor the translation of one "life-changing" Bible verse. It's spearheaded by illumiNations, an alliance of the world's leading Bible translation organizations.
Translators say 3,800 "language communities" worldwide currently don't have a complete Bible — and more than 2,000 of them don't yet have a single verse of Scripture.

"One billion people still don't know what God's Word has to say to them," said Mart Green, ministry investment officer at Hobby Lobby and an avid illumiNations supporter. "You and I have the opportunity to change someone's life forever, because just one verse has tremendous power."
For $35, people can sponsor the translation of one verse of Scripture. They can also advance the cause by sharing their favorite verse with others on social media using the hashtag #IWTKBible.
