Bringing God’s Word to Liberia

Main message: The sermon urges the church to invest in Bible translation for Liberia, emphasizing that giving and prayer can help people hear and understand Jesus in their own language. It frames this as a vital part of completing the Great Commission and a lasting kingdom impact.

Key points:

• Bible translation is complex and requires careful choices so the meaning comes through naturally in each culture.
• There are still many unreached languages, including 14 in Liberia, and this church is partnering to translate Scripture for them.
• The project in Liberia is a large, coordinated effort involving local churches, translators, and communities; it is already over 70% complete.
• AI can help speed translation, but human teams are still needed to make accurate language and meaning decisions.
• Liberia’s history of slavery, division, and need makes the Bible translation effort especially meaningful.
• Giving to this work creates an eternal impact, because people will one day worship Jesus in their own language.

Scriptures mentioned: Revelation 7
