Equip communities with the infrastructure and tools needed to translate God’s Word and deepen engagement.

Capacity Building

Building Sustainability through Strategic Infrastructure

Investing in local partners and their infrastructure is essential for language communities to carry out transformative work in Bible translation and literacy. These mission outposts serve as hubs for equipping church leaders, evangelists, and teachers to share God’s Word in their heart languages. This deepens Scripture engagement and strengthens faith across the community.

Over the coming years, targeted development in Southeast Asia, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, and Tanzania will bolster Bible translation efforts and advance the proclamation of the Gospel.

Support Local Leaders for Lasting Impact

Every community deserves access to God’s Word in their heart language, guided by trusted local leaders. Your prayers and financial support provide the infrastructure necessary to empower leaders worldwide. By equipping them with the tools they need, you help language communities drive translation forward and foster deeper Scripture engagement.
