Our work in the Bible translation movement flows out of our identity as followers of Jesus. The beliefs we share provide us with the motivation for our ministry. These foundational beliefs guide our plans and practices. In all we do, we desire to not only spread the message of Christ, but also to incarnate—live out—that message. |
 |
| OUR VISION :
Equip and send Filipino linguists and literacy specialists to meet the tremendous requirements for Bible translation efforts, especially in Asia, in support of WBT International Vision 2025. |
| OUR MISSION:
Motivated by the love of God for the peoples of the earth and in partnership with the worldwide church and others, we contribute to human well-being through Bible translation, literacy and related services. |
|
Each person who participates in the Bible translation movement has been created by God, gifted by God and called by God. While we are a diverse community, we are driven by a single passion: The glory of God through the translation of the Word for every person on earth in the language they understand best.
If you want to know more about what we believe, consider our statement of doctrine and our core values, and then be sure to keep exploring all that God is doing in and through us as we participate with Him in His mission. |

THE GLORY OF GOD AMONG NATIONS
Our motive for Bible translation is that all the peoples of the earth would have the opportunity to pursue God and His glory.
CHRISTLIKENESS IN LIFE AND WORK
Our quest is to pursue Christ. We express this through our lives and work.
THE CHURCH AS CENTRAL IN GOD'S MISSION
Our commitment is to assist the Church in completing the Great Commission through the tasks God has called us to lead. We affirm that world evangelism and discipleship is God's charge to the Church.
THE WORD TRANSLATED
Our focus is founded on the promise in Scripture that God’s Word will accomplish what He wants it to accomplish. The Word of God transforms lives when it is translated into a language that speaks to peoples' hearts.
DEPENDENCE ON GOD
Our confidence is not in ourselves; rather, we depend on God for everything to complete the task of worldwide Bible translation. This is His work; He always accomplishes what He sets out to do.
PARTNERSHIP AND SERVICE
Our way of working best reflects the character of God when we work in community, in partnerships and always with humility. Partnerships are critical to completing Bible translation for all languages of the world.
DIVERSITY
We commit to follow the commands of Scripture to love all neighbors and act as the one body of Christ, such that we intentionally engage and reflect the diversity of His Church in order to fulfill the Bible translation task at hand. |
