Translation Choice On the Field
Check your translation!
If your mission field does not have English as one of its main languages (use only the KJB if it is the case that you will use English to minister in) and you find you have to minister in a different language, an accurate Bible translation is paramount to ministry. If you will win souls, disciple converts, and plant churches, make sure the Bible you use is correct (1 Pet. 1:23). It must conform to the KJB or it is not the word of God in that particular language!
- Please contact us for resources on checking the accuracy and viability of your translation - do not just simply accept whatever is available on your mission field!
- If you do not have a translation that is compliant to the King James Bible, pray about whether God would have YOU translate the Bible into the vernacular language. Please contact us for Bible translation resources. It can be done!
