Introduction
Welcome to the New Neighbour Bible website.
Click the menu option (top left) to navigate the different sections on this site.
Since 2015 New Neighbour has provided information for Christians living in Europe about the languages spoken by people arriving from other nations, and to give links to any Bibles or Bible stories that were available in those languages.
Resources include videos and audio recordings, as well as text resources. Almost everything is available online and free of charge. Although there have been many updates over the last ten years, and more to come there may be additional resources not yet recorded.
We started with information on people and languages from Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, then added information on four countries from North Africa, (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya), followed by Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. From these ten countries we include information on almost fifty languages, and provide links to other sites with information on more of the 7,000+ languages used in the world today.
At the start of 2025 we began adding more information on how to find print resources as well as online, starting with sources for Diaspora in the UK.
More European country profiles will be added soon.
Different organisations attempt to understand migration, but often with little data on the languages used. How many languages are currently being spoken in each of the towns and cities of Europe? Nobody knows, but God hears. We hope that churches and wider society can grow in understanding, acceptance and inclusion, and extend a welcome to all.
