Pioneer Bible Translators’ new VERSE BY VERSE KIDS! is designed to accompany your Vacation Bible School curriculum.  It’s a tangible, easy-to-understand way for children to get personally involved with the Great Commission. Jesus told all of us to go and make disciples and there is no better discipleship tool than the Bible.  But many people groups don’t even have one verse of the Bible in their language yet.  Every $38 the children give through their VBS offerings provides another verse for one of these people groups. The children in your church can provide verses, chapters or even whole books of the Bible for a people group. How amazing is that!  For more information email VerseByVerseKids@pbti.org or call 214-699-4320, or click: http://pioneerbible.org/VerseByVerseKids

Pray Strategically

 
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your prayer this last month as many of my Pioneer Bible Translators colleagues and I have been involved here in Dallas in equipping our potential and current teammates in various aspects of Bible translation ministry. Seven teams of interns have just been sent out to various fields to experience firsthand what we are doing on the front lines.  Seminars for our missionaries have been successfully completed on these topics:
 
Orality in Bible Translation, Scripture Impact and Outreach
Scripture Impact through Literacy
Managing Transitions Well
Leadership through Coaching
Partnership Development
Primary Health Care
