New Translation of the Burmese Bible is DONE!
After more than 100 years, there is a new translation of the Burmese Bible.
For the past three years Greek and Hebrew Bible scholars from Myanmar Bible colleges, along with other Christian leaders and pastors, have been working on this more accurate and updated language translation.
The leadership of Asia Frontier Outreach-Asia led this project. The Bibles should be printed and ready for distribution in Myanmar by late Fall 2025.

The Timothy Initiative is based on the same scripture as the training for Jesus Foot Soldiers: "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." 2 Timothy 2:2. Classes are taught by area Jesus Foot Soldiers and volunteer local Bible college professors.
