Is Bible translation a simple substitution of words?
What happens if a culture doesn't have a word that represents a biblical word/meaning? Like "faith", "grace", or "fatherly love"?
Is it important to get to know the culture the translation is being completed for?

Dear Family and Friends,
It's October... already! It's hard to believe that in 8 months we hope to be abroad serving in Papua New Guinea. We know that this time will fly by as we build our home-team of financial and prayer partners, continue to work full-time, volunteer, write a dissertation (Cassidy), and visit with friends and family. At times it's hard to stay focused on the "here and now" because we are dreaming about what life will be like in PNG. Thank you for following along this journey with us, partnering with us, and supporting us!
The above video, Understanding Translation, really made us think about the amazing work that is being done around the world to bring Jesus closer to the lost and forgotten. We feel humbled and awe-struck that God has called us to support Bible translation through being Boarding Home Parents. We know that it takes a team to complete this God-sized task of translating the Bible into all the world's 7000+ languages; that team includes all of us (yes, you!).
We have been encouraged greatly by the new partners who have invested in our Wycliffe ministry through prayer, finances, and encouragement. THANK YOU! Please let us know if you too would like to join our team. You can do so through talking with us individually or clicking the link under our picture.
Love,
Cassidy & Kari
