training improves translation
The conference facilitates sharing among participants on Scripture engagement experiences, skills, and strategies. Participants bring the knowledge they gain back to others in their society or organization. It enhances staff capacity for effective ministry work in their various settings.
Your gifts help fund the airfare to and from Kenya, transportation (taxis, boats, etc), accommodation, and fees for the 10-day conference.
Empower A Local Leader
We believe that every community should have the chance to read the Bible in the language they know best, led by people they trust and respect. Your financial gifts and prayers enable us to help a leader in Sierra Leone bring God’s Word into the many languages of their people.
