“Come help us with Bible Translation!” is a recurring plea heard by Lutheran Bible Translators. Language communities want to have God’s Word, but they need the expertise offered by a professional translation organization to make it a reality.
Bible translation requires partnership between a mission organization and the language community requesting assistance. To develop sustainable language programs and partnerships, on-site meetings are invaluable for establishing relationships with local church and Bible Society leaders. The specific needs of each language community must be assessed to determine the best way to put God’s Word into their hands.
Funding for new mission exploration results in more people receiving the Gospel.
