The Prices Write (June 2025)

There are nine summer teamers going to Croatia with us from June 18-28.

Also, I’mContinue reading “Takeaways from my time in Africa”

Greetings from Kenya!

Swahili for “Welcome to Kenya” Bible translation requires many hands on deck. Our organization’s goal of seeing the Bible translated into 1,000 languages by 2050 means there is a lot of work to do.
