Investment in local partners and their physical infrastructure is crucial if a language community is to carry out the vital efforts of translation and literacy. These are more than buildings. They are mission outposts from which qualified and trained church leaders, evangelists, teachers, and leaders can be deployed. These local people, prepared for the task, can share God’s Word in their heart languages and help the church and community to immerse more into the Scriptures. 

Development and improvement of infrastructure in Southeast Asia, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, and Tanzania over the next several years will strengthen heart language Bible translation and Gospel proclamation.
