Bible Dedication
Itinerate Ministry
When leaders have been established and the church is healthy, a time will come when we will need to step out of the community and allow the church to function on its own. This does not mean our work with the church is done, but that we will take on new roles. We will continue to translate Scripture, but at this point the church will have the New Testament and many portions of the Old Testament. We will also aim to help the church develop resources that can be used by the believers and the next generation. As leaders in the church want to publish material they have created, we can help write and publish it. It would also be helpful to make other resources available such as commentaries, biblical study resources, helping people learn the national trade language if beneficial, assist in difficult transition as the outside approaches on the isolated environment and help young adults make a healthy transition into the cities for work or school to avoid being sucked up into the ways of the world and to hold fast to their faith amidst an ever changing environment.
We have the desire to participate in the role of a consultant, whether that be with translation, Language learning, linguistics, church planting, etc. We desire to be used by God and to share what he has taught us to the next generation of missionaries overseas or even stateside.
