About Mats-Jan Söderberg
Mats-Jan Söderberg is a Swedish Christian leader with decades of experience in global mission, Bible translation and cross-cultural ministry. At the heart of his journey is a desire to follow God faithfully and to see people encounter His Word in the language they understand best.
Over the years, that journey has taken Mats-Jan and his family across countries and cultures. Together with his wife, Anna-Caisa, he has shared a life shaped by family, faith and mission. They have four children and three grandchildren, and today their home — also shared with a dog and a cat — remains an important place of family, friendship and everyday life.
Along the way, Mats-Jan has served alongside churches, mission leaders and Bible translation movements around the world. Today, he continues to build global partnerships and explore how innovation and new technology can serve the mission of Scripture. Whether around a meeting table, visiting a church or mission community, or spending time at home with his family, the desire remains the same: to keep God at the centre and faithfully take part in what He is doing
Networks & Partnerships
“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to take part in His work and to see more people gain access to His Word in the languages they understand best.”
....You're going to get the “thank you,” but you're going to get it in heaven. Most investments are measured by what they return to us here on earth. But there are investments that bring much more—a return that is eternal. When we generously and faithfully invest our lives and finances in God's work, lives are changed, people encounter the Bible in their own language, and communities are transformed. This is what I call EROI—Eternal Return on Investment.......
...Bible translation is not a Western mission..... It is not an American mission. It is not a European mission......It is God's global mission, carried forward by His global Church. One of the greatest joys of this work is seeing people from different cultures, nations, and languages serving together with one purpose: to help bring God's Word to those who are still waiting. Every partnership, every prayer, every gift, and every act of service becomes part of something far greater than ourselves.
