1 in 5 people do not have a Bible in their language – Oct 31 2019
A Bible translation organization just shared an infographic that states over 1.5 billion people do not have access to a bible in their language.

What is the cost of a Bible?
In countries where we print 300,000 to 400,000 Bibles in each print run, we are able to produce a paperback-covered Bible for between $7 – $10. However, in other countries where the language or usage volumes require a lower quantity print-run of perhaps 10,000 or 20,000 copies, the Bibles can cost between $16 – $24 each.
So that means to give a bible to 1 million people (at a printing cost of $10) will require $10 million dollars. If we want to give a Bible to 1.5 billion people, that will require $15 billion dollars.

How much does it cost, on average, to support a missionary?
$60,000 a year (global average) / $5,000 a month
This is a global average of the annual cost for supporting an individual missionary and includes all forms of ministry support and personnel support (salary, medical expenses, language study, children’s education, housing, visas, travel, retirement benefits, and more). These averages are per individual adult — not per couple or family. Costs for a couple are double the amounts above.

Missions Statistics: Have We Failed The Great Commission?
It’s estimated one missionary is needed for every 50,000 unreached person. As a result, we need 66,547 more missionaries to serve these people.* Since it takes $59,500 a year to support a missionary, we need $3.96 billion a year to support these missionaries.

PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS
If we sent mission teams of ten people to each of the 7,246 unreached people groups with an annual salary of $70,000 a year. Christians worldwide could provide all of the funds needed to reach all peoples with only 0.007% of their income ($5b). The Global Church has roughly 14,000 times the financial resources and 36,000 times the manpower needed to finish the Great Commission.
If every Christian gave $1.93 cents to frontier missions we could easily support 72,000 new missionaries.
If every Christian gave just 1% of their income to frontier mission, we could support another 10 million missionaries.
