Thank You SOAR
Christmas 2021

Isaiah 40:31 NIV – “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint.”
SOAR is partnering with Lutheran Bible Translators in 2021 to invite others into the Bible translation movement. Drs. Mike Rodewald and Tilahun Mendedo presented about the ongoing work of Bible translation, literacy, and Scripture engagement at SOAR’s fall gathering.
Executive Development Officer Dr. Brent Smith reflected:
“The event was filled with Scripture, prayer, and a call to selfless service to our Redeemer. Some participants drove for hours to attend the event because the testimonies of the presenters tell the story of God’s powerful acts of salvation happening today. His promise in Matthew 24:14 is moving toward its fulfillment!”
Your congregation or small group can be in the Bible translation movement alongside SOAR. Support language communities like the Bandi. Put God’s Word in their hands.
