At the United Bible Societies we love the Bible. We are working towards the day when everyone can access the Bible in the language and medium of their choice. With \u201cYour Word,\u201d Scripture is shared through music in many languages.<\/p>\n
It all started with a Facebook message this summer from Billy Dorsey, a multi-award winning musician from USA. We connected immediately, sharing the same passion for the Bible. We shared Billy\u2019s story<\/a>, how he grew from being homeless to a success in a music industry.<\/p>\n Following that article, Billy wrote \u201cYour Word,\u201d a Scripture-based worship song. But it\u2019s more than a worship song. Thanks to musicians and Bible Societies partnering together, net revenues from the online release on iTunes will be dedicated to Bible translation. \u201cYour Word\u201d will help people to receive the Word of God in their languages [through] crowd funding.<\/p>\n The song will be released at the end of November, but already today you\u2019re invited behind the scenes<\/a> at the recording of the song in the first six languages.<\/p>\n \u00bb Read full story<\/a>. And rejoice with heaven (and UBS) on the publication of Words That Changed the World<\/a>, a beautiful book in Arabic with the illustrated text of the Sermon on the Mount.<\/p>\n \u00bb For more stories about the Word going forth in song, see Justin Bieber of Nepal Converts to Christianity<\/a> (Christianity Today) and check out this Cairo group\u2019s beautiful song in Arabic, Master of the Universe<\/a> (Global Worship).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: United Bible Societies, October 8, 2015 At the United Bible Societies we love the Bible.
