John Hanger, founder of BiblioNexus, is a serial entrepreneur and a passionate giver who found himself deeply called into Bible translation. After supporting the movement for several years, John felt the need to get his hands dirty with what he knows best—launching a tech start-up.
BiblioNexus is a nonprofit tech company with the culture of a Silicon Valley start-up that is making waves in the Bible Translation space. BiblioNexus is a company of software experts in partnership with Bible translation experts working to build innovative solutions and try to move the needle in Bible translation.

- The need for more Bible translation software apps for mobile phones
- “We felt the weight of the blessings we had received.”
- “We settled on the theme of ‘evangelism’ for our giving plan.”
- “There are 7,000 plus heart languages in the world and less than half of them have a Bible.”
- “I knew the Bible was the most translated book in the history of the world, but I had no idea that there was still Bible poverty.”
- “At the end of the day, the flywheel of discipleship and translation is study the Bible, understand the Bible, and then articulate it. That methodology is called FIA: familiarize, internalize, and articulate.”
- “God’s moving people to release their content into an openly licensed environment knowing that the aquifer is now a mechanism through which that content
- can be used worldwide.”
- “We want to have at least some Scripture available in all 7,000 plus heart languages by 2033.”
- “Only 40% of the world’s population lives near or has access to a power grid, but 96% of the world’s population has access to a mobile phone. So the mobile phone is a key technology being used, but little to none of the Bible translation related software products work on a mobile phone today.”
