Lutheran Bible Translators
Translation Services in Aurora, IL
Lutheran Bible Translators (LBT) is an independent Lutheran mission organization committed to helping bring people to faith in Jesus Christ. We aim to do this through our missionaries and team, who work to make the Word of God available to those who do not yet have it in the language of their hearts. We've been advancing this mission since 1964. There are more than 6900 different languages spoken in the world. More than 4500 of these languages (66 per cent) have no portion of Scripture translated.

read moreMissionaries serving as translation advisors focus on the process of bringing Scripture into the heart language of the people they are serving. Before they begin serving a language community, translation advisors study Biblical languages, linguistics, and translation principles. They are language and culture learners to build relationships and gain insight into the community in which they work. Missionaries help coordinate the translation process from the first draft, through a series of accuracy and naturalness checks, to publication.
