Practice the Essentials of Translation

Locally-led ministries can navigate level 1 resources to master the process to understand, draft, and check a passage of Scripture. At this level, groups will not need to use technology, unless they want to. This approach focuses on mastering the universal skills of translation before learning how to use technology.

Actions to take BEFORE you start translating

• [ ] Pray and worship together that the Holy Spirit may guide your ministry!
• [ ] Work through Church Engagement and Translation (Nehemiah 8)
• [ ] Decide Roles and Responsibilities
  • [ ] Use Team Formation Workbook to help assign roles and responsibilities
• [ ] Make important decisions with the Translation Decision Guide Workbook as your guide
