Equip Translators.Engage the Word.Transform Communities.

FIA (pronounced FEE-uh) is a step-by-step process that helps Bible translators understand, internalize, and articulate God's Word in their own language.

Over 1.5 billion people still don't have access to God's Word in their own language.

FIA makes Scripture accessible by providing open source, consultant-checked resources that meet the needs of all translators, including oral, visual, and text-based learners.
