Expect Great Things from God; Attempt Great Things for God (Sermon Video)

Recently, I had the privilege of preaching at the missions conference at The Master’s Community Church, Kansas City, KS. Below is the link to the presentation, which begins at the 7:00 mark in the service.

The sermon is entitled: “Expect Great Things from God; Attempt Great Things for God: The Great Commission — Matthew 28:16-20”

When is a “mother” not your “mother”? (Lost [and found] in translation: installment #20)

Dear friends,

Thank you for your prayers and financial support for us, our family, and our ministry of Bible translation. Through your prayers and donations, this is your work of giving God’s Word to those without a Bible in their heart language!

It was fun to have Matthew visiting us from Atlanta for a week. He came to be in the wedding party of a friend getting married in KC and had a good time hanging out with family (pictured above with Timothy, Kirsten, Daniel, and Ariela). Also pictured above is Ariela leading devotions at her American Heritage Girls troop. She taught the troop girls how to share the Gospel using the wordless book.

The Bible translators are doing well in their work. They were recently in Serbia (pictured above) taking classes on how to develop writing systems and how language is used in culture, as part of their studies to earn a Diploma in Bible Translation.

I’m working with some of the translators to do quality assurance checks on their drafts of 1 Kings in the Gurbet language (on Wednesdays), Mark in the Bayash language (on Thursdays), and 1 Peter in the Macedonian Arli language (on Fridays). It is interesting to be working simultaneously in three different genres: Old Testament narrative, New Testament Gospel, and New Testament Epistles. I often deal with different translation issues depending on the type of literature we are translating.

As an example from Old Testament narrative, yesterday in 1 Kings, I had the issue of how to translate “mother” in 15:9. This may seem like a simple question, but Hebrew uses the term “mother” to refer to all women ancestors, such that it could refer to one’s mother, grandmother, or great-great-great (etc.)-grandmother. As in the next verse, 15:10, it says that Asa obeyed God like his “father” David, even though David was his great-great-grandfather. We chose to translate 15:9 as “grandmother” due to the context and other passages that seem to indicate she was his father’s mother. This is a fairly common translation issue in OT narrative since it lists many events and frequently tracks genealogical relationships.

An example in the New Testament Gospels from yesterday was Mark 14:31. In narratives like this, there are many speakers involved, so it sometimes becomes difficult to know to whom the pronouns refer. Instead of translating: “But he was saying even more strongly, ‘Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you’. They all said the same”, we made it clearer to whom the pronouns refer by translating: “But Peter was saying even more strongly, ‘Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.’ All the disciples said the same.”

Another example from yesterday, in a New Testament Epistle, was 1 Peter 4:16: “But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.” The NT epistles often pack a lot of information into a few words; it might not be clear what “in this name” means, so we will make it clearer by rendering it as “but let him glorify God that he bears Christ’s name.”

Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and financial support!
Gratefully, Todd & Pamala (Daniel, Ariela)

Bible translation progress; Todd’s 60th birthday

The above pictures are of a recent distribution of the New Testament in the Gurbet language on the streets of a town in Serbia. I’m so proud of the Roma Bible translators who work hard not only to translate God’s word, but also to actively share it so more and more people can understand the Scriptures in their heart language. We’re grateful that the NT is finished and printed, and are thankful for the good progress we are making in the OT, currently in 1 Kings.

We praise God that during this last quarter (July-September 2026), we finished checking 2,225 verses, counting the three languages I am working on: Gurbet, Macedonian Arli, and Bayash.

During this quarter:

  • on Wednesdays, in the Gurbet language, we finished 2 Samuel and half of 1 Kings.
  • on Thursdays, in the Bayash language, we finished over half of the Gospel of Mark.
  • on Fridays, in the Macedonian Arli language, we finished Revelation, Galatians, and Ephesians.

We’re also excited that the Gospel of Luke is now available in film in two more Roma languages, Arli and Gurbet. These two languages have every verse of Luke dubbed to the LUMO film, and they are available on YouTube (see screen snip below).

We celebrated my 60th birthday on September 21. I’m grateful for these 60 years the Lord has blessed me with and for such a loving and supportive family to celebrate with.

Gratefully,

Todd

Daniel’s trip to Slovenia; testimony from the Macedonian Arli translation

Thank you for your prayers and financial support that enable the work of global Bible translation. This is your ministry!

Daniel had a fruitful trip to Maribor, Slovenia (pictured above with the team, plumbing & mudding). He and the team from Nashville, TN, were able to bless a local Slovenian church by helping to convert an old storage building into office space that they can use for their youth outreach and horse ranch. The team did lots of work to frame the rooms, put up drywall, run electricity, organize storage, etc. Daniel helped with that and also installed all the plumbing for the new bathroom. That was a fun challenge since European plumbing differs from what we have in the States.

Locally, Pamala and Ariela (pictured above teaching the wordless book and on her first day of 10th grade) helped run a Child Evangelism Fellowship outreach party in a local school through our local church. They will help with holiday parties throughout the year.

As a family, we are enjoying settling into our new church. It is a blessing to attend a church only 11 minutes from home, and some neighbors have already joined us. Daniel and Todd have a men’s Bible study there, Pamala has a women’s Bible study, Ariela is in youth group and Daniel is in the young adult group.

Bible translation progress is going well, although the pace is fast and very busy. On Wednesdays, I meet with the Gurbet language team, and we are close to halfway done with 1 Kings. On Thursdays, I meet with the Bayash language team and we are more than halfway finished with the Gospel of Mark. On Fridays, I meet with the Macedonian Arli language team and we recently finished Galatians and Ephesians.

Speaking of the Macedonian Arli team, the following encouraging quotes are from our translators Dzonotan (left) and Bajram (right, pictured above).

“When people hear God’s Word in their own language, it is easier for them to understand and accept it. Many express joy and gratitude that they can finally read and hear parts of the Bible in a language that is closest to them.”

“People say, ‘Now we understand God’s Word in our language’ and ‘God is speaking directly to me in my mother tongue.’ … Though the translation is ongoing, they eagerly await its completion and ask when the full Bible or New Testament will be available. We believe the finished translation will greatly impact the spiritual lives of individuals, families, and churches in the Romani community.”

Thank you so much for your faithful giving and constant prayers,

Todd & Pamala Price (Daniel & Ariela)

Expect great things from God

On Sunday, I had the privilege of giving a missions update at CrossWay Bible Church in Blue Springs, Missouri, and I wanted to share it with you. To find out the latest with our ministry, including a report on the status of our Bible translation work and a report on our last three trips overseas, watch the 20-minute video (starting at the 8:00 mark).

We praise God for progress being made in translating the Bible in six languages (see chart above).

Yet there are still as many as 5,500 languages that do not yet have a complete Bible! The need for workers is great.

So please pray for us, as we in The Word for the World Bible Translators have set a God-sized goal that God will use us to help produce a translation of the full Bible in 1,000 languages by the year 2050. Only God can do this. But as William Carey, the father of modern missions, said, “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.”

Thank you for praying.

Todd & Pamala

Church going-away; visit to Jonathan in California

We’re grateful for CrossWay Bible Church in Blue Springs, Missouri, where we have been members for 36 years. Most of that time we were overseas, but we’ve also had the privilege of serving there in person since we relocated to the States in 2020.

In 2022, we bought a house in Belton, MO, which put us farther from the church (25 miles one way), and we have continued to serve there while living at a distance. But recently we have felt that this would be a good time to begin attending a church closer to home, that is local and will make it doable for us to be more involved and to invite friends and neighbors. So last Sunday was our send-off, where they honored us with a cake, fellowship time, and prayer. Thank you, CrossWay! We’ll continue to visit when we give our mission updates and reports in the future — in fact, we’ll be back in a couple of weeks to give a missions report during the worship service on August 30.

Above and below are pictures from our going away.

Daniel running sound

This week we’ve had the privilege of being with Jonathan at his home in Crescent City, California. He moved here a few years ago, but this is our first time visiting him at his home. Jonathan, Daniel, and Pamala replaced his old attic insulation, and Daniel lent his expertise to several other projects. As the full-time cook, Ariela provided him with wonderful home cooking and baking. We also visited the ocean and a redwood national park. See the pictures below.

Lots to be thankful for!

We have a lot to be thankful for. Rejoice with us and thank God for these blessings:

  1. In the Gurbet language, we finished the quality assurance consultant check in 2 Samuel and are now starting 1 Kings.
  2. In the Macedonian Arli language, we finished Revelation and are now starting Galatians.
  3. In the Bayash language, we are making headway in the Gospel of Mark. Please pray for us that our translations into these languages (Gurbet, Macedonian Arli, and Bayash) will be accurate, clear, natural, acceptable, and will match the literary style of the original.
  4. I (Todd) had a colonoscopy, and everything came back clear. (I am high risk since my father died from colon cancer, so I need to be tested regularly.)
  5. Daniel has 54% of the financial support he needs to go to Slovenia in September to help build a building for a church camp there. (If you would like to donate to help send him, you can do so at this link: https://fbctn.gomethod.app/!/58270/slovenia-trip-2026/participants/612827/donate). Much appreciated!
  6. Matthew was able to visit us from Atlanta for a week. While he was here, we enjoyed some fun time together at a local waterpark.
  7. We will be going to California to visit Jonathan for a week. This is our first time seeing his house there!
  8. Ariela got to go to two Bible camps this summer, and a campout with her American Heritage Girls troop, where they also got to tour Watkins Woolen Mill. She turned 15 and enjoyed birthday celebrations, and is looking forward to working on her driver’s permit.
  9. After significant car issues, Kirsten was able to get a new-to-her car in much better shape.
  10. As part of my role in training others in our region to become Bible translation consultants, I will begin supervising quality assurance/consultant checks for a trainee in three more languages: Serbian Arli and Chergash for 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings, and Montenegrin in Mark and Matthew. Please pray for much wisdom from the Lord and for the time, energy, stamina, and concentration needed to take on these tasks, and most of all that I will be a great blessing to the brother I am supervising and help him grow in his role as a Bible translation consultant. He is a delight to work with! Also, please pray for us that our translations into these languages (Arli, Chergash, and Montenegrin) will also be accurate, clear, and natural.

Thanks for praising and praying with us. Enjoy a few family pictures below.

Gratefully,

Todd & Pamala
