About

Advancing God’s Kingdom by communicating His Word in the heart language of all people.

We believe that this world and all of its inhabitants were created by our loving God for eternal fellowship with Him. Man, by his sin, has become separated from God, and only through personally accepting the gift of reconciliation purchased by Jesus at the cross can he regain his fellowship with God. We believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and only through Him may people find peace with God.

We believe that the Bible is the truly inspired Word of God, that it is fully accurate, and that it contains the wisdom of God that we need for our lives. As we read the Bible, the Holy Spirit instructs our hearts and minds to understand God’s eternal truth and shows us how to apply that truth to our lives today.

We rejoice that God has adopted us as his children. We know that when we die we will be with Him in heaven forever. We look forward to worshipping Him with the multitudes from every tribe and nation. We believe that He has given us the task here on Earth to enable others to hear (in their native language) the Good News that their Creator longs for them with an immeasurable love, and that He has made a way for them to be reconciled to Himself.

David and Marie Hazell lived in Russia for eight years working on Bible translation. In 1992, shortly after communist walls began to fall, they moved their family to the depths of Siberia where they assisted with printing the first Scripture portion in the Evenki language. During their time on the field they saw completed translation projects that were unprinted due to a lack of funds.

The family’s move back to the United States in 2000 marked a new era in their support of international missions work. They founded a homeschool curriculum company that uses the majority of its proceeds to support Bible translation around the world.

God’s Word for the Nations was started in 2003 to assist like-minded individuals, families, churches, and businesses in providing needed finances for Bible translation around the world. Since that time God’s Word for the Nations has been blessed to be able to provide over two million dollars in funding.

God’s Word for the Nations works in cooperation with other organizations to carry out its vision. These organizations include:

The Institute for Bible Translation’s main aim is to translate, publish and distribute the Bible in the languages of the non-Slavic peoples living in Russia and the other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). These 85 million non-Slavic peoples represent a tremendous diversity of language (at least 130 different languages) and religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Shamanism). Some of these peoples number many millions; other languages have only a few thousand speakers. Some of the languages have a long written tradition; in others a written form is only now being created.
