Our 8 steps Church Centric Bible Translation Movement

---

Step 1: 

Assemble a translation team, a translation committee, and train a team to translate 10 Jesus Stories taken from our Picture Bible into the language of an Unreached People Group. 

Step 2:

Develop a key term list, field test, and evaluate the Picture Bible with persons of peace, discussing it with religious leaders in the target people group. 

Step 3:

Edit a key terms list and create a Bible translation committee from house church networks, aiming to develop a translation that is trusted and used by key leaders in the church movement. 

Step 4:

The church appoints and resources translators and commissions teams to translate the New Testament audibly, using LangQuest and Paratext software. We also back-translate from the minority language to the wider language community (national language).

Step 5: 

Translation teams who want a printed Bible will use the Paratext checking tool to check for alignment and consistency, and the consultant check.

Step 6: 

Check with the Bible translation committee and get approval from the church leadership. At this point, a back translation will be needed. 

Step 7: 

Church networks distribute new Bibles and host Bible dedication ceremonies. 

Step 8:

Church network leaders choose which Bibleless language to focus on next, restarting the process from step one.
