Lutheran
Bible Translators is a faith based
mission organization. This
means that each missionary is given an income goal based on his or her
budget for that year and partners in mission are given the opportunity
to help reach that goal so that the mission of bringing God's Word to
those who don't yet have it in the language of their heart can go
forward. The
mission of making disciples of all nations is not ours alone, it
belongs to you, the church of Christ. We are merely your
ambassadors
going where many of you cannot go and doing that which many of you
haven't been trained to do.
How can you become partners in this mission?
You can support us with your prayers:
- For the Holy Spirit to create saving faith for many of the Khwe.
- For the Khwe communities to take ownership of this project.
- For wisdom and good church involvement as we form a translation committee.
- Thanksgiving for all of our partners who are enabling this work to go forward.
- For successful partnership development: that individuals and
congregations will continue to support us through prayers and financial
gifts
- Thanksgiving
that Splash has passed the first course in Nairobi and has been invited
to continue with the translation courses in June.
You can support us with your financial gifts in several ways:
- Our ministry budget relies on the regular contributions of
supporters. You can support this ministry on a monthly,
quarterly, or annual basis, or as often as you are able. No gift
is too large or too small and you can be assured that your
contributions are handled with the highest integrity. If you
