The Book Should be Red, a painting by Hyatt Moore, 2008, was presented to American Bible Society from The Seed Company, a Wycliffe Bible Translators affiliate. The painting is of a young Majang man holding a red Bible, symbolizing the 500th language project in which The Seed Company has been involved.

This year alone, the Bible Society and The Seed Company are working together on 59 translation projects around the world.

Thanks to the support of our faithful financial partners, American Bible Society has been engaging people with the life-changing message of God’s Word for more than 200 years.
