A broken life, an uncertain future, an encounter with the Bible, a new hope. 

A Personal God

 

The mission of Lutheran Bible Translators (LBT) is to help bring people to faith in Jesus Christ by making the Word of God available to those who do not yet have it in the language of their hearts.

Lutheran Bible Translators (LBT) believes that every person should have the opportunity to have the Good News of Jesus Christ as presented in the Scriptures and that no language or cultural barrier should prevent people from having access to God's Word. LBT partners with Lutheran church bodies and Bible translation organizations worldwide helping to bring the Word of God to every language worldwide.

Since being founded in 1964 by Dr. Morris and Lois Watkins, LBT has completed 21 New Testament translations and currently has 78 Bible translation or Scripture use programs in progress. The mission is advanced and hearts are touched with the Gospel through the faithful support of prayer, time and financial resources to LBT by thousands of individuals and hundreds of volunteers, along with the dedication of our missionaries. LBT missionaries serve around the world in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Our partnerships with hundreds of churches and service and educational organization/ministries across North America contribute to helping to make the Word of God available to those who do not yet have it in their heart language.
