Our team is composed of Bible translators, literacy evangelists, church planters and a variety of support personnel working to see transformed lives through God’s Word in every language. We are serving 43 million people in 92 language projects in 18 countries. We are seeking new missionaries who will step up and meet the need for incarnational ministry among Bibleless peoples.
