What is OBT?

Imagine how it would feel if you couldn’t access a Bible or even reference a specific verse because there was not one single translation of Scripture in your language.

More than 1,000 languages still do not have a single portion of the Bible in their mother tongue.

YWAM is committed to help change that statistic. We recognize that the great majority of those who speak a Bible-less language are oral learners, and the Bible will be at its most impactful in audio format. YWAM is working on Oral Bible Translation (OBT) for these remaining languages.

The OBT school will train trainers who want to multiply oral Bible translation projects and schools in YWAM while equipping people to be oral translation facilitators.

You could be part of a team that would help an oral culture receive the Word of God in their heart language for the first time in history. Come and equip yourself with us!
