Demanding field conditions require durable technology
Mission field conditions—like high humidity, ocean air, dust, and sand—can quickly damage computer hardware. Investing in high-quality machines is critical to maintaining operational efficiency and avoiding costly delays caused by frequent repairs. Even durable laptops typically require replacement every three to five years to ensure language program teams can continue their work seamlessly.
Providing partners with reliable technology enhances the quality of Bible translation and Scripture engagement materials, empowering communities to access God’s Word in their heart language.
Equip leaders with the tools they need
Every community deserves access to the Bible in their heart language, guided by trusted local leaders. Your financial gifts and prayers ensure new missionaries and programs have the technology needed to launch translation efforts and literacy education quickly. With your support, communities can experience the transformative power of God’s Word without delay.

Logos Software for 20 Bible Translation students and two assistant instructors–the software will be used by the BT fourth year students for their study purpose. The students are in need of several reading materials as they are planning to write their research paper, which is a partial fulfillment for the degree of Bachelor of Theology in Bible Translation and Mission. Also, it is necessary so that the students would be familiar with several resources in Logos, especially the Translator’s Workplace. Translator’s Workplace is one of the best resource centers for Bible translation practitioners.
