Local sojourners. Global impact.
We meet newcomers with compassion, dignity, and God's Word in their heart language, on HD Radio and in the Dot Bible app.
What Walt prayed for
Reaching the sojourners God brought to America.
Walt Wilson founded Hope4America to reach the sojourners God brought to America. International Scripture Ministries (ISM) has spent decades building the infrastructure to reach every language on earth. Now both serve a single mission. Walt prayed for this day before his homegoing in September 2024.
God's Word has the power to transform lives when people can experience it in their own language.
As part of Hope4America's mission, the Sojourner Program serves immigrants, refugees, and language communities with access to Scripture, working with churches, broadcasters, digital tools, and volunteers.

Straight from the listeners
What the broadcasts are unlocking, station by station.
Notes from listeners and church leaders about the broadcasts.
“We are deeply grateful that the Bible is now broadcast 24/7 in Amharic. When we hear God's Word in the language we first prayed in, it strengthens us in a way that is hard to describe.”

“Within 30 minutes of receiving our station resources, Pastor Samuel called overjoyed: 'You are sharing the Bible in my language.' He oversees a fellowship of Haitian churches and is eager to bring Scripture to Haitian-Creole speakers across the region.”

How the Sojourner Program works.
Five ways the Sojourner Program brings Scripture within reach.
Why language matters
Language is more than communication. It carries identity, memory, and belonging. When people encounter God's Word in their heart language, they hear it not merely as information but as intimate truth. The Sojourner Program begins with this conviction: language matters because people matter.
Find the Bible in your language (opens in a new tab)How Audio Bible ministry serves newcomers
For immigrants and refugees who may be learning English, or who carry the weight of transition and loss, the audio Bible in their own language can be a lifeline. Listening does not require reading. It requires only a willingness to listen, and Hope4America makes that possible.
Listen to the audio BibleHow churches can welcome language communities
Local churches are well placed to welcome the language communities in their neighborhoods. We would love to talk with churches about welcoming newcomers with compassion and Scripture.
How radio and digital tools extend the reach
Not every newcomer can attend a church gathering, but many can tune in to a radio broadcast or open a mobile app. Multilingual radio and digital outreach extends the Sojourner Program's reach into homes, cars, and workplaces where language communities gather.
Find a Bible streamHow volunteers and partners can help
The Sojourner Program depends on the faithful participation of churches, volunteers, donors, and Prayer Partners. Whether you give financially, serve locally, or sponsor a language broadcast, your involvement brings Scripture closer to someone who is waiting to hear it.
Who we serve.
The Sojourner Program is for everyone who has come to America carrying a different first language, and for the churches called to welcome them.
Immigrants
Families and individuals building new lives while maintaining deep cultural and linguistic identity.
Refugees
Neighbors who have fled danger and are rebuilding their lives in America.
Language Communities
Established communities across American cities who continue to live in their heart language.
Local Churches
Congregations seeking to welcome and serve the language communities in their neighborhoods.
