New missionaries go through essential training
Bible translation missionaries must master methods to analyze each language’s unique structure. They also need to understand how cultural traditions shape the thoughts and actions of language communities.
Effective Bible translation demands the use of clear, natural, and accurate language to communicate God’s Word to those unfamiliar with key Scriptural concepts. By being sensitive to and respectful of local beliefs and customs, missionaries ensure that translations are biblically accurate, meaningful, and embraced by the communities they serve.
Equip missionaries for impactful service
Every community deserves the opportunity to read the Bible in their heart language, guided by trusted leaders. Your generous gifts and prayers empower new missionaries with the essential training they need to address the specific needs of field programs, fostering lasting connections and impactful outreach. Together, we can make God’s Word accessible to all.
