Why Now?<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/h1>\n
The Old Testament is urgently needed for Bible translation<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
But Now!<\/b><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/h1>\n
Local leaders are trained to translate the Old Testament directly from biblical Hebrew into Bibleless languages. This shift is accelerating full Bible translation and multiplying the impact of Scripture<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
<\/span><\/li>\n
<\/span><\/li>\n
<\/span><\/li>\n<\/h1>\n
Join us in prayer and support to equip translators and see this become a reality: Local churches and agencies leading full Bible translation\u2014self sustained, rooted in the whole Word of God, for their own people.<\/span><\/h3>\n
