PRIORITY OF DISCIPLESHIP
All-Nations Translation Philosophy, Part 5 of 5
The Word of God is not only a script, but is ultimately a Person. The Church’s primary task is not to translate the Scriptures, but to make disciples of Jesus.
Our purpose in the host culture setting should be as Jesus’ purpose on earth: to leave behind a faithful body of believers who will follow Him in daily life. We will seek in every way to ensure that our translation work, methods, and processes fully serve that end.
