Every Name Has a Story — and Now You Can Share It in Seconds!
Meet Pastor Chris Monaghan, the author behind the Name Translation Bible — and the free web app that is changing how believers share the Gospel.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” — Jeremiah 1:5
What if the most powerful evangelism tool you could carry wasn’t a thick Bible, a printed tract, or a rehearsed speech — but simply a name?
That is the bold, Spirit-led idea behind the Name Translation Bible Web App. And it started with one man’s passion to show the world that God has always known us by name.
Meet Pastor Chris Monaghan
Pastor Chris Monaghan is the Senior Leader at Gateway Church Richmond and the author of The Name Translation Bible — a groundbreaking book that explores the sacred, biblical meanings behind thousands of names from every culture and language on earth.
His conviction is simple but profound: names are not random. God speaks through them. And when a person hears what their name truly means — rooted in Scripture — something opens up in their heart.

From Book to Web App — A Vision Made Accessible
Great books change lives. But Pastor Chris had an even bigger vision — he wanted this truth to be accessible to every believer, every church, and every person on earth, instantly and for free.
That vision became NTBible.org — the Name Translation Bible Web App. A free, mobile-ready tool that lets anyone search the biblical meaning of any name and receive a Scripture verse tied to it, right on their phone screen.
Try it yourself right now at www.ntbible.org.
“Names carry power. And when someone hears God’s Word spoken over their own name — that’s a moment they never forget.”
Built for the Everyday Believer
With the help of the Instant Web Tools, LLC team — a digital development agency passionate about ministry-driven technology — this web app was built to be as simple as it is powerful.
There is no download. No account. No learning curve. You open it, type a name, and within seconds you have the biblical meaning, an encouraging word, and a Scripture verse — all ready to share.
Pastor Chris’s vision was always about reach. Not just filling pews — but reaching people where they are. On the street. In the office. At the grocery store. In an elevator.
The Elevator Evangelism Approach
Here is what makes NTBible.org truly remarkable — it turns any ordinary encounter into a divine appointment.
Imagine you are in an elevator with a stranger. You smile and ask, “Hey, what is your name?” They tell you. You pull out your phone, open NTBible.org, type their name, and in seconds you say:
“Did you know your name means [meaning]? Here’s what God says about that in Scripture…”
They have just heard the Word of God — spoken personally, over their own name. No awkward cold approach. No tracts in hand. No hour-long conversation required. Just a name, a phone, and the Holy Spirit.
You have made a deeply personal connection in under sixty seconds. That is the power of this tool in the hands of a Spirit-filled believer.
A Tool for Every Church, Free of Charge
Pastor Chris’s vision extends far beyond one congregation. His heart is to see this tool in the hands of believers in every church, every city, and every nation. And the best part? It is completely free to use.
Gateway Church Richmond is the first church to officially adopt and champion the Name Translation Bible App as a frontline evangelism tool. But this is just the beginning. The goal is to see every pastor, every congregation member, and every marketplace believer equipped with this simple, powerful resource.
Whether you are leading a small group, hosting a community event, doing street outreach, or simply going about your day — NTBible.org turns every name you encounter into an opportunity to share the love of Christ.
