About the Institute for Bible Translation

The Institute for Bible Translation is a non-profit organization founded in 1973 whose main aim is translation and publication of the Bible in the languages of non-Slavic peoples living in Russia and other countries of the CIS. Some of these peoples number many millions, other languages have only a few thousand speakers. Some of the languages have a long written tradition, in others a written form is only now being created.

IBT is an international organization whose staff is drawn from all Christian traditions and denominations.
