Seek God's Face 

Instead of constantly trying to figure out God’s will, spend time getting to know Him personally. Then His desires will become clearer, and your desire will be to please Him.

Study the Bible

For both Bible translators overseas and “senders” in the home country, Bible training is critical to spiritual development.

• Become immersed in God’s Word
• Talk to God, but also learn to listen through His Word
• Begin making a regular habit of memorizing Scripture

Bible study materials are a great way to keep your reading fresh and to help you dig deeper. The resources below are a good place to start a study of the Bible. You may also want to check out your church library or your local Christian bookstore for audio sermons, books, etc.

• The Navigators Bible Reading Plan
• A.W. Tozer Devotional
• American Bible Society Resources and Study Tools

Worship

As a personal relationship with God deepens, God gives a strong urge to praise and worship Him. Through authentic worship, God draws His people into His heart for the nations. Two resources that discuss this are:

• Louie Giglio's messages, at the 268 Generation Store
• Let the Nations Be Glad by John Piper

Give

Faithful giving enables Bible translation to happen. Get involved now by becoming a regular supporter of a project.
