Ongoing Projects

Swahili

Swahili is the most widely spoken African language, current estimates are that at least 60 million people speak it. We have received requests from churches, schools, and missionaries in Swahili-speaking countries who have shared with us their lack of resources to teach their children the Gospel in their own language.

Mandarin

Mandarin is the largest first-language in the world, with over 900 million native speakers. With this translation, children in the world’s largest country will hear the truth of God’s Word sung in their language. The opportunity for kingdom impact is massive, especially in China where the Gospel is resisted by the government, and discipleship materials for children are almost nonexistent.

Swedish

Swedish is the official language of Sweden, where it is spoken by about ten million native, “heart” speakers. It is especially strategic as a translation project, because Swedish can often be understood by citizens of neighboring countries Finland, Norway, and Denmark, allowing for a broader reach for Songs for Saplings music in the Nordic countries.

Children in every culture love to sing. In fact, many cultures teach their stories in songs. We are working with churches, families, ministries, and missionaries around the world to translate the deep truths taught in the Questions with Answers series into the heart languages of children.
