Christian Song Funds Bible Translations

The Christian song “Your Word” that reaffirms the truth and hope found in the Bible will be released in the top 10 languages of Bible readers from November 20, 2015 and the following week onwards. Written and produced by a multi-award winning production team led by Billy Dorsey, the worship song will be commercially released to iTunes and other digital music retailers around the world. The English version of the song will feature Billy Dorsey, together with Lakewood Church Senior Worship Leader and international recording artist Cindy Cruse Ratcliff. Other language versions will feature vocals by award-winning Christian music veterans from around the world including:

· Pastor Marcos Witt, 27 million album selling, five-time Latin Grammy Award winner (Spanish)
· Sefora Nelson, four-time German Billboard #1 album charting (German)
· André Valadão, 15 million album selling member of Diante do Trono (Brazil)
· Thierry Ostrini (France)
· Lidia Genta (Italy)
· Darina Kochanzhi (Ukraine)
· Israel Roytman (Israel)
· Stream of Praise (China)

The project was born in partnership with United Bible Societies, which believes the Bible is for everyone and is working towards the day when everyone can access the Bible in the language and medium of their choice. Net proceeds from each song will go to the Bible Societies in the countries of the featured musicians to support Bible work in their local languages. In a small way each person purchasing the song, and each radio station playing it, will support new Bible translations and provide Bibles to those who still do not have their own personal copy of the Scriptures.
