BIBLE TRANSLATION SUNDAY CELEBRATIONS

Lutheran Bible Translators networks with thousands of pastors and congregations to put God’s Word in the hands of people around the world. 

Church leaders wanted to engage their congregations in God’s mission. Lutheran Bible Translators responded by establishing Bible Translation Sunday on the last weekend of September in 2019. The date was selected to coincide with International Translation Day on September 30, which celebrates St. Jerome’s translation of Scripture into the Latin vernacular. But now, congregations can celebrate Bible Translation Sunday any time of the year. 

Churches can host Bible Translation Sunday. The FREE Resource Toolkit has been beautifully designed to meet your congregation’s needs. To complement your celebration, you can schedule a Lutheran Bible Translators’ speaker for a follow-up visit. Missionaries and staff are eager to share the impact brought by hearing God’s Word in a person’s own language.

Lutheran Bible Translators will stay connected with you beyond your celebration date. Your congregation will see the ongoing impact of their participation in Bible translation ministry. They will share their love for the Bible with other language communities. Your church will be inspired to continue to serve in God’s mission as they witness the global impact of Scripture in the hands of millions of people.

Download the toolkit to celebrate Bible Translation Sunday. Be equipped, energized and unified in God’s mission.

“Bible Translation Sunday helped our church live its mission: Connected to Christ to Care for Community. At a time when we were focused on reconnecting to Christ through His Word and realizing the myriad of benefits of doing so, we were able to care for community by supporting Lutheran Bible Translators and seeing lives transformed by putting God’s Word in their hands. Thank you!”
