#0033 - Bringing the Whole Word of God to the Whole World: A Conversation with Cameron Mayhill.  Join us for an inspiring conversation with Cameron Mayhill, Vice President for Advancement at the Institute for Biblical Languages and Translation, a project of the 4.2.20 Foundation. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to provide access to the whole Bible in the mother tongue of many nations. Did you know that over 90% of the world's languages do not have both the New Testament and the Old Testament in their native language? That's over 1 billion people without any portion of the Old Testament in their mother tongue! The 4.2.20 Foundation is working tirelessly to eliminate the Original Testament Gap by serving as a source language capacity builder for the Bible translation movement. They provide education and tools to accelerate access to the full Bible for people of all languages, whether written, oral, or signed. The Institute for Biblical Languages and Translation trains translators and consultants in Hebrew, with a goal of starting full Bible translations in every language by 2033. Join us to learn more about this important work and how you can get involved in bringing the whole Word of God to the whole world.  https://4220foundation.com/
