JCBT 2024: Year-end letter

Greetings to you from the Jerusalem Center for Bible Translators. Just a few days ago we sent a report on all that God has been doing in 2024 even in the midst of an ongoing war in Israel, and all that we’re anticipating that God will do in 2025. We’re excited about the possibilities! I’d like to follow that letter up with a call to action.

As we approach the end of 2024 and the start of the New Year 2025, we’d like you to consider year-end giving to JCBT. In our recent letter, I explained the exciting training opportunities we are offering to translators and consultants from around the world. I also discussed the growing issue of a lack of funding for these precious people to benefit from the opportunities that JCBT offers. We don’t want to refuse anyone who wants to come to Israel for JCBT’s programs, but we need your help.

Before we continue, we’d like you to hear directly from some of our students who have been impacted by our programs:

 

2024 Semester Students Testimonies

Proverbs Course Students Testimonies

Here are three opportunities for you to be involved in God’s work of Bible translation:

Pray that God would open His storehouse to provide through His people, and that He would bless them as they return to their place of service so that they can bless the peoples by helping them have God’s Word in their own language.

 

Give as one of God’s people as He inspires you. These brothers and sisters need your help.

 

Go if God calls you to join us in this work of Bible Translation. There is still much work to be done.

 

If God is moving in your heart to contribute through prayer, have a look at our website, read our letters, follow us on Facebook, and subscribe to our YouTube channel. All of those links are given below. And pray to our God who loves to hear from us and wants to bless us.

 

If He is moving in your heart to give as 2024 comes to an end, all of the information you need to help provide for the funding needs of our prospective students is below.

 

And if God is calling you to go to work hands-on in Bible translation, write to me at this email address: bob_carter@bibletranslators.org  and I’ll be glad to discuss it with you and help you find the path that God is calling you to walk on.

Remember this with us from Isaiah 2:3:

כִּ֤י מִצִּיּוֹן֙ תֵּצֵ֣א תוֹרָ֔ה וּדְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה מִירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃

The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

JCBT, in the way that God made for us, along with you, is doing its part to fulfill this prophecy.

May God bless you as you help Bible translation to go forward around the world.

 

In Him,

Bob Carter

Executive Director
