Language & Story
Every language carries a story.
Millions of people have never experienced Scripture in the language that speaks most deeply to their heart.
We believe that should change.
Oral Mother Tongue
More than translation
Language is identity.
Stories shape culture.
Oral Mother Tongue (OMT) helps communities engage with God’s story in ways that are natural, memorable, and deeply meaningful.
Why It Matters
When people hear Scripture in the language they know best, it becomes personal.
It isn’t just translated.
It comes alive.
