USA (MNN) -- Bible translation is getting so advanced, translation organizations are being nationally recognized. The Seed Company http://www.theseedcompany.org/ was just given the Mission Exchange award for Innovation of the Year. The Seed Company president Roy Peterson says their Bible translation acceleration model is the reason. They are "working in partnership with national colleagues and then linking them with technology and resources." The goal: to do "Bible translation not only faster, and not only less expensive than ever before, but with the same high levels of quality that Wycliffe Bible Translators http://www.wycliffe.org/

and our partners around the world have been known for," says Peterson. The award is affirming. "It affirms the direction that we're going to invest in technology, invest in our national partnerships and colleagues. And it puts us on the radar screen for churches and others across the country who may want to take another look at the way Bible translation is being done today." You can be a part of this.

Translators working in some of the most remote villages of Nigeria often don't have things like Internet connection or electricity. Nigeria alone still has three hundred languages without a Bible. Translation Acceleration Kits give instant satellite connection and speed up the process of a New Testament translation by two years. To check out the project, you can visit our Web site.
