Many of Lutheran Bible Translators’ partnering institutions train individuals in linguistics, Biblical languages and translation studies. Local language speakers train for ministry while staying in their home country or in a nearby region. Graduates of these institutions then serve in translation and literacy programs in their own languages.
Trained local personnel produce higher quality work in a shorter amount of time. They translate God’s Word in a clear and culturally appropriate manner because it is their language and culture. More individuals desire to serve God and their people.
Scholarship recipients are vital to the advancement of language programs in their countries. Your gifts facilitate the formal training needed to serve in the programs of their heart language.
