Projects

Your gift enables the Academy to train hearts, minds and souls, equipping them for a greater role in the Great Commission.

The goal of this project is to present the Acts video in two of the languages spoken by people groups in Bolivia. The video in their own language will be a powerful tool to help them understand God’s plan for His Church. The ones unable to read the Word will be able to hear it and see it. For those in isolated villages, the video presentation is non-threatening, allowing them to listen.

Your gift will help missionary candidates to achieve their goal of reaching tribal people with the Gospel, by equipping them for effective ministry.

Ethnos360 Bible Institute. Since 1963, the campus in Waukesha, Wisconsin, has prepared young people to make disciples. After 50 years, the campus needed renovations so young people could continue to get a solid grounding in God's Word.

Your gifts enabled the Institute to prepare students to reach tribes and transform lives. These funds were used for renovations, to keep a six-year plan on track ensuring that the campus can continue equipping future missionaries for decades to come.

Your help enables these Christian servants to disciple believers within and outside their borders.

Have an impact in people groups around the world with a gift to this project. Your gift will help people from a variety of cultures who speak a variety of different languages grasp important concepts from the Bible because of the illustrations they will see.

It takes three to five years for a missionary to gain fluency in a people group's culture and language. Specialized software greatly aids and speeds this process of cataloging, organizing and reviewing audio and video recordings, photos and notes.

The 10,000 Loron people live in isolated homesteads and villages over 2,500 square miles. The majority still follow animistic practices and many remain monolingual. Few Loron people ever had the opportunity of an education.

However, about 500 Loron believers worship in 20 churches. Literacy in their heart language has become important to them, and they desire the whole Bible in their language. 
 
The goals of this project are to complete the New Testament translation and then the Old Testament, and a literacy course and Bible teaching materials.

The New Testament has recently been revised for the Guahibo people group of Colombia, South America. Because of the revision and new terminology for the basic spiritual terms, the wording needs to be revised in all the previously developed evangelism and discipleship lessons. This means that all lessons prepared since 1994 for the five phases of teaching employed by Ethnos360 church planters are in urgent need of revision.

The plan is to provide the present church and the expanding church with lessons that match the present Scripture, using the improved vocabulary for the spiritual terminology.

Your gifts have allowed the revision to take place. With the lesson revision completed, Biblical truths and promises will be clearer for believers’ exhortation, strengthening and encouragement. As the gospel is made clearer, its effects will spread throughout the entire Guahibo nation as well as into neighboring language groups that are related to the Guahibo language.

The Ayoré New Testament was printed 35 years ago in a diglot version (Ayoré/Spanish). It has now been completely revised and has been sent to the Bible Society of Bolivia (primary contact), and they sent it on to Brazil’s Bible Society for printing.  The goal is to provide the present Ayoré church with the urgently needed revised New Testament and half of the Old Testament. They hope  to have the revised Scriptures printed and shipped to Bolivia and Paraguay by the end of 2018.

Your gift will enable the Kalanguya church to have the entire Bible printed for the first time.

People groups in Bolivia are often scattered in many isolated villages. The more isolated the village, the more wary and suspicious the people are of outsiders. But videos are non-threatening. The people let their guard down and listen. Well-done videos in the heart language of the people are great tools. Because you gave, the Genesis Project videos will teach foundational truths about God, creation, sin and the promised Savior in six different languages. These videos will not replace a teacher in each village, but they will be one tool for the ministers to use.

The Guahibo church has been growing steadily over the years. But there is an interesting challenge: all the copies of the New Testament are completely gone. The demand for the New Testaments has increased as there is an awakening to the gospel. This is the result of Guahibo missionaries reaching out to other areas. The Guahibo are scattered over two countries living in an area measuring more than 100,000 square miles.

The goal of this project is to print 20,000 copies of the newly revised Guahibo New Testament and the Old Testament portions in one volume.

Thirty-two villages among the Tagbanwa people group in the Philippines have churches. Of the 16,000 in this people group, about 2,500 are believers who are growing and sharing their faith. There are new church plants going on right now, but without the Scriptures in their language, there was nothing available to facilitate their growth and discipleship. Because you gave to this project, the reprinting of the Tagbanwa Bible is now in process.

A very limited number of resource books for Bible translators exists in Spanish. Your gift will help make one more valuable title available to them by facilitating the Spanish translation of A Translation for Translators by Dr. Ellis Deibler.

Your gift toward this project will begin to supply the finances necessary to purchase the materials both for literacy and Bible teaching. This will help the church reach out, bringing more people to Christ and helping believers grow.

Spanish prayer updates spur encouraging feedback and prayer.
