Pursuing the Vision
We partner with churches to send teams who facilitate Bible translation and community development while working to establish indigenous churches.
Teams
Teams are sent ultimately to make disciples of Jesus and plant local churches. Every team member is involved with church planting.
Bible Translation:
Church-planting teams include members trained to work with mother-tongue speakers in translating Scripture into their language and making it available in accessible formats.
Community Development:
Church-planting teams include members trained to help the people identify and develop God-given resources in areas including agriculture, economics, and health. Teams also facilitate literacy initiatives.
Indigenous Churches:
The overarching goal of all efforts is a maturing church that is set apart to God yet reproducible within its cultural context.
