Winter is displaying a fresh face of new-fallen snow here in southwestern Oregon, U.S.A., along the banks of the scenic North Umpqua River. Living here in remote Oregon, I am geographically distant from most people and activities associated with Bible translation. But the internet allows a kind of connectedness to God’s global mission that would have been impossible just a few years ago. I have the privilege of working virtually with colleagues from many nations, to help communicate the things God is doing to bring His Word into the hearts of people in their own language—for the encouragement of His church and the revelation of His glory—glory that images like this can only provide a hint of.
