Hundreds of languages are waiting to start programs
“Help us bring the Bible to our community!” is a recurring plea heard by Lutheran Bible Translators. Language communities want God’s Word, but they need the expertise offered by a translation organization to make it a reality.
Understanding each community’s unique needs is crucial to developing effective program strategies. Onsite meetings are most often essential for building relationships with local church leaders and Bible Society representatives, ensuring culturally relevant and collaborative approaches.

Broaden our mission outreach
Your generous gifts and prayers support the New Mission Exploration mission fund, empowering the Field Programs team to evaluate and explore new opportunities for outreach. These programs may encompass Bible translation, capacity building, and Scripture engagement. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
