Can I switch gears from our family to the amazing work with New Tribes that we get to be a part of? It is why we endure hardship and it is also what motivates us to keep going.
Let me ask you this: How many Bibles do you have? Print editions, study Bibles, apps on your mobile device? I’ve got as many as most and probably more. It makes me wonder though about how a person feels and thinks when they receive God’s word in their own language for the first time. God’s Word will radically change lives. The process of translating it for a people group is a painstaking labor of love. 
New Tribes missionaries around the world are in each of the various phases of translating God’s word for the first time in a number of tribal languages right now! Our Communications Team has a really unique and privileged role to play in this work. This past month, one of my team-mates from the Communications Team had the privilege of doing the final layout work on a Tribal Bible and I had the chance to see the printed copy before even the missionary who translated saw it! Talk about a buzz! For a little more detail check out the recent told the story of one of these translations in the video below!
