Invitation to Celebrate ‘Bible Day’ – 30th September 2025

Written by

Every year on 30th September, Christians around the world pause to celebrate Bible Day - a vision first launched in 1966 by Wycliffe’s founder, William Cameron Townsend. This is more than a date on the calendar: it’s a powerful reminder of what God has done - and continues to do - through the translation of His Word into the languages of the nations.

When people encounter Scripture in their heart language, lives are transformed. Communities discover their worth, cultures are affirmed, and millions are meeting Jesus in a deeply personal way. Yet the task is not finished. Around 600 languages - representing nearly one billion people - still have no access to the Bible.

That’s why we’re praying and working together for the bold and urgent vision: Zero people without the Bible by 2033 - the 2,000th anniversary of the resurrection of Jesus.

This year, on Tuesday 30 September 2025, 6am-8am Pacific Time, you are invited by IPC, Pray for Zero and World Prays to join a global online celebration and prayer gathering. This two-hour livestream will bring the worldwide Church together for worship, all-age prayer, and inspirational stories. You’ll hear from international leaders across the Bible translation movement, and from ordinary believers whose lives have been changed by reading God’s Word in their own tongue.

We will pause to give thanks for the tremendous progress already made in recent decades, while also interceding for a fresh acceleration so that every people group can hold the Scriptures in their hands. As Ephesians 6:18 reminds us, we are called to “pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.”

This is more than an event - it’s a historic moment for the Body of Christ to stand united, sowing seeds of prayer that will bear eternal fruit. Now is the time for believers of every age and background to rise up together, lifting their voices for the advancement of God’s Word.

IPC Sept2025 11BWill you take your place? Join us this Bible Day as we worship, pray, and believe God for a generation where everyone can encounter Jesus through the Scriptures in their heart language.
