📚 Pioneer Bible Translators Bible Display

When you arrived, you may have noticed the Bible Display presented by Pioneer Bible Translators. This exhibit reminds us of our mission to fulfill the Great Commission by translating the Word of God into the heart languages of people worldwide. The display is divided into three sections:

1. Completed Translations: See the impact of the Word reaching people in their own language.

2. Translations in Progress: Learn about ongoing efforts to bridge the language gap.

3. Untranslated Languages: Reflect on the work yet to be done for over 2,000 language groups still without a Bible.

Take a moment after the service to explore the display and pray for this vital work.

🌍 Verse by Verse Challenge

Our church is partnering with Pioneer Bible Translators to bring the Gospel of Mark to the Oma people in Southeast Asia. This group has a budding Christian community but no modern Bible in their native language.

How It Works: Each verse costs $35 to translate. Consider how many verses you’d like to sponsor.
How to Give: Donations can be made through the Love Offering with the note Verse by Verse. The challenge runs until December 15, so let’s prayerfully commit to this mission and make a lasting impact.

Let’s make this December a time of celebration, learning, and service as we come together to honor milestones, deepen our faith, and advance the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
