Become a Pathmaker today

When you become a Pathmaker, you create lasting impact all year long.


Give Now

Right now, many Deaf communities do not have access to even a single verse of Scripture in their heart sign language.

Think of your favorite passage or book of Scripture and count the verses that make it up.

 

At $75 per verse, your gift helps make Scripture accessible in clear and visual ways.

To put that impact into perspective:

  • John 3:16 is one verse. One gift can translate a verse known around the world.

  • The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13) is five verses. A gift of $375 helps translate a prayer that shapes faith and practice.

  • Psalm 23 is six verses. A gift of $450 supports a passage of comfort and hope.

  • The Christmas story (Luke 2:1–7) is seven verses. A gift of $525 helps share the story of Jesus’ birth.

  • The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16–20) is five verses. A gift of $375 helps translate Jesus’ final charge to His followers.

 

What is a Pathmaker?

A Pathmaker is a monthly partner who helps bring God’s Word to Deaf communities in their heart sign language. By giving consistently, Pathmakers sustain Bible translation work, equip Deaf leaders, and make it possible for Scripture to take root, grow faith, and transform lives around the world.

    Scripture in each heart language fuels discipleship and churches.

  • Turn prayer into action

    Your giving supports the people, tools, and work prayer makes possible.
