Lutheran Bible Translators of Canada Inc (LBTC) was incorporated in 1974 when Canadian Lutherans recognized a growing interest for supporting Bible translation work.

At that time, two Canadian missionary couples had already joined Wycliffe Bible Translators through a partnership with Lutheran Bible Translators in the USA (LBT US). For the purposes of future recruitment and to serve Canadian supporters, LBTC was formed working in a joint agreement with LBT US and Wycliffe Bible Translators.

LBTC also works closely in ministry with the Lutheran Church bodies in Canada. This connection allows LBTC to provide a cooperative role in conjunction with overseas Lutheran Church bodies that are linked through various associations with these Canadian Lutheran Church bodies.
