A significant step forward in Bible accessibility has been achieved with the launch of a new online platform making Scripture available in Auslan, the sign language of Australia\u2019s Deaf community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Auslan Bible Translation Project has been steadily progressing for almost 30 years, led by the Auslan Bible Committee in partnership with Bible Society Australia. Since 1997, the goal has been clear: to ensure Deaf Australians can engage with God\u2019s Word in their first language\u2014fully, naturally, and clearly. In 2023, Wycliffe Bible Translators Australia joined the effort, further strengthening the translation work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the launch of the new website, the Auslan Bible has an accessible home. It offers video translations of Scripture, including the books of John and Acts, alongside a growing library of children\u2019s Bible stories. A \u201cpassage of the day\u201d feature provides daily encouragement, and the platform explains how translation happens and how the wider community can support the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of August 1, just 544 of the world\u2019s 7,396 living languages remain on the waiting list for Bible translation to begin. A year earlier, the number was 985 languages. In 2020, it was more than 2,000. In 1999, it was more than 5,000.
