Shine the Light of Jesus!
$15 = 1 x 
Every $15 gift you give will place a Plain English Version Bible into the waiting hands of an Indigenous brother or sister who’s desperate to see the light of Jesus.
You have the power to shine the light of Jesus into the hearts of Indigenous Australians through Badayala for Bibles.
This September, Bible League is partnering with 14 radio stations across Australia, with the goal to provide 4,000 Plain English Version (PEV) Bibles for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Your generosity can place PEV Bibles into the hands of Indigenous Australians, offering them the hope and guidance of God's Word in a language they can understand.
By giving today, you are expressing the true meaning of the word "Badayala" – light – and spreading the message of love and salvation found in Jesus.
Donate now and light up a life with the Word of God!
That light shines out into the darkness and makes everything clear, and the darkness can’t put it out.
John 1:5 PEV

About the Plain English Version
Bible League is currently working with Wycliffe Bible Translators to develop a Bible specifically designed for Indigenous Australians.
The Plain English Version (PEV) is a special Bible translation for Indigenous Australians who speak Aboriginal languages, but also have English as a second language.
As of 2023, the PEV includes many Bible books and a Mini-Bible with parts of the New Testament, Genesis, and 1 & 2 Samuel (as of 2023). The PEV is still being translated, with new parts added regularly.
It uses plain language features common to Aboriginal languages, such as avoiding passive voice, using action words instead of abstract nouns, and shorter sentences. The translation makes sure the original meaning is clear, explains hidden information, and clarifies figurative language.
Why is the Plain English Version Needed?
