TRANSLATING The Word of God

Beginning in the 1980’s, the Full Life Study Bible was the missionary project and vision of late missionary Donald Stamps. While serving in Brazil, Don recognized a great need in the church for a study Bible written from a Pentecostal perspective. He began creating a series of notes that would accompany Scripture throughout the entire Bible. Though struggling with cancer, he continued to work and write believing this Bible would be completed. In 1991, shortly after finishing his notes and submitting them for publishing, Don Stamps went to be with the Lord.

In 1996, the Assemblies of God World Missions leaders saw the potential for this Bible to be used around the world and assigned the project to Life Publishers. At that time, the FireBible was born and has now been translated into over 50 languages, with over 10 million in print worldwide, while other language editions are continually being published.

The FireBible is a full-featured study Bible with an emphasis on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. It is now available in 63 languages, and it is the world’s #1 Pentecostal Study Bible. The scholarship of the FireBible’s study material, edited and reviewed by a panel of pastors and renowned Bible scholars, is unsurpassed for a serious study of the Scriptures. It also offers the reader a practical understanding and application of Scripture that leads to a solid foundation in God’s Word, a deeper relationship with Christ, and an awareness of the Holy Spirit’s activity.

Chapelhill Church’s Kingdom Builder giving has helped with the funding of FireBible translation for many years. Additional translations will result in many changed lives and Kingdom disciples worldwide as people receive God’s word and study notes in their own heart language.
