Jesus Foot Soldiers receive the new translation of the Lisu Bible
New Translation of the Lisu Bible is Delivered
Nearly 100 years ago a faithful missionary in northern Burma translated his English Bible into the Lisu language. Over the years since there were very few printings of this precious book. As the 21st century dawned, there were not many Lisu Bibles still in existence. There may have been 1 or 2 Bibles found in a Lisu village, but they would have been very worn, and not in the vernacular of the current times.
​
About 5 years ago, a team of Greek and Hebrew Bible scholars, along with Bible professors and Lisu Christian leaders began the task of translating a Bible from the original languages into Lisu. They finished in late 2024, and now we have the privilege to help distribute the Word of God in the Lisu community.
A Lisu couple receive their new Bible with joy!
One Girl's Story:
I always dreamed of
going to school
My name is Naw Sa*, and I am now in grade 11. I am grateful to God for giving me this chance to study. When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of going to school, but it felt impossible because my family was very poor. God heard my prayers, and I am so happy and thankful every day for this opportunity.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for your love and support in helping me with my studies. Without you, I would not have this chance, and my future would seem hopeless.
My dream is to continue my education at the college level or receive skill training. I would love to study overseas if I can get a scholarship. I am asking God for guidance and help. I know I cannot do this without Him."
