Where We Serve / Mission Fund: International Development
Mission Fund: International Development
This fund supports the physical and organizational infrastructure needed for Bible translation and Scripture engagement in local language communities.
Capacity Building
Building Sustainability through Strategic Infrastructure
Long term Bible translation depends on reliable places to work, gather, and train. This fund supports offices, training centers, and translation hubs managed by local partners. These spaces allow church leaders, translators, and literacy teams to work together in their own contexts. Current development efforts focus on Southeast Asia, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, where infrastructure supports ongoing and future translation work.
Support Local Leaders for Lasting Impact
Local leaders carry the responsibility for translation and Scripture engagement in their communities. This fund provides practical support for the facilities and tools they rely on each day. Prayer and financial partnership help sustain the spaces where translation, training, and collaboration take place.
Program Goals
- Strengthen community based translation infrastructure
- Support local leaders who manage and use these facilities
