Special Bookshelf





This is a very special bookshelf. It's filled with one of every Bible translation currently in print. While it stands as a symbol of progress, the empty shelves are a daily reminder to me of the work yet to be done.

As Alexis and I walk past this shelf on the way to class at GIAL in Dallas, we are encouraged to be a part of what God is doing to bring the good news to those who do not yet have it in their heart language. We praise God for the 2,422 language projects currently underway and look forward to joining that number very soon.

What should be done about these 1750+ waiting language groups? We receive such a wonderful invitation from our Lord and Savior in Luke 10:2, where Jesus says. “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." God has designed that by praying for the mission field, we become a part of what moves it forward.

Will you consider joining us in prayer for the work of Bible Translation?

Praying to and Praising the God of the Harvest with you,

- The Olsons
