Send the Erslands. Share God’s Word.
Imagine moving across the world so more people can understand God’s Word in the language they know best.
Michael and Naomi Ersland are following God’s call to serve with Lutheran Bible Translators in Tanzania. After a season of learning the local languages and culture, Michael will train and mentor several Bible translation teams as they work to make Scripture clear and accessible within their communities.
This is not the Erslands’ first chapter in Bible translation ministry. They previously served for nearly a decade with the Komba Old Testament translation project in Ghana and recently celebrated with the Komba community as they received the completed full Bible.
Now, God has lead them to Tanzania—and our school can help support their work!
