What We Do
 
BIBLE TRANSLATION: SCRIPTURE IN USE

We work with Pioneer Bible Translators to help provide a translation of the Bible into the Crimean Tatar language.  Part of the way this is accomplished is by providing materials in addition to the Biblical text.  This would include any materials you might find in a bookstore, ie...audio texts, calendars, study guides, etc... This type of material is also known as Scripture in Use.

There are more than 200,000 Muslim Crimean Tatars who live mainly on the Crimean peninsula of Ukraine.  When asked, “Why would a Muslim people group use or want a Bible in their language?”  Our answer is simply that all people need to be able to read the Word for themselves, whether it is only to read what the ancient prophets of God had revealed, or to seek out and meet the historical and living Sinless Prophet, Isa (Jesus).

ORPHANS

We also spend time working in some of the local orphanages in Crimea.  Often children in the orphanage are there because their parents have “given up” their rights.  The children are placed into orphanages where there are often over-worked “nannies” who care for them.http://www.pioneerbible.org/cms/tiki-index.phpshapeimage_1_link_0
