H {Help Wanted!}

Hopefully by now, you're seeing that Bible Translation isn't just the people who go in to the field and translate the Bible. While those people have a huge task in front of them, there are hundreds of people behind them that make Bible Translation possible. We met just a portion of those people during our training...

-A telephone technician and his wife, a nurse...headed to PNG to serve where we're going-yay!

-Art & Ethnomusicology....see my friends, the Gasslers, to see what their role will be.

-Language surveyors

-Librarians

-Computer specialists

-The amazingly talented artist...headed to Thailand with her hubby to illustrate. 

-The other aviation nut with his school teacher wife...we're also headed together, Lord willing, on the same timeline...our kids are so excited!

-The family not quite sure where they're headed, but they know, for a year, they will help serve at the JAARS center before moving to the next location.

-The recruiters making the move from Austin to Nashville to go into churches, colleges, their surroundings and encourage those thinking about missions to "just do it!"

-The single guy that wanted to do missions, youth ministry and auto mechanics...he's headed to Waxhaw, NC to do all three. Yes, God is awesome like that.

I heard over and over, from the testimonies shared over those two weeks, it doesn't matter what God has given you the talent or ability to do, He can use it for His purpose in Bible Translation. There is a need for everything from business people, mechanics, school teachers, IT guru's, nurses...and yes, pilots to bring Bibles into the hands of those that have never heard.

Have a week of vacation and want to serve? There are opportunities to serve short-term and your help would be invaluable. Who knows, it could plant a seed that changes your future!
