Megan Reeder - Asia

“There are almost 50 different languages in the country in which I work. My role is to head up a team that will serve these language communities in two ways. We will help catalyze a Kingdom Impact Partnership, a partnership between everyone working for a language group for Kingdom purposes, for each of those people groups. Then as a partnership works together to seek and serve the Lord, we will give them training to help them meet whatever Scripture needs they determine they need met, whether it’s a written Bible translation, a chronological Bible storying project for the oral people in the language group, an initiative to help them use well Scripture they have to see their community transformed – whatever their Scripture-related goals, we will help them achieve those goals.”
