By focusing on involving people to sponsor one verse to one language group. The concept is brilliant and one that is catching on. With its new artist representative focus, monthly partnership, and social media campaign (I discovered them in a banner ad of all things!), OneVerse.org is connecting with those who care about the Bible and sharing it with others.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the organization&#8217;s video of the power of providing the Bible in a village&#8217;s native language.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, it&#8217;s hard to live out faith if you can&#8217;t learn about your faith.
