Ongoing Projects

LBTC Translation Consultant Martin Weber and his co-translators, Yuare Jerome and Nganko Emmanuel, are translating Old Testament readings into the Kwanja language. These readings are part of the lectionary used by the Lutheran and Roman Catholic churches in Cameroon. Salaries, travel, supplies, computers and electrical expenses are being incurred to accomplish this task.

LBTC Translator and Literacy Specialist Joan Weber and her co-workers continue their task of preparing course material and leading literacy classes at all levels. Classes are being held in regions wherever Kwanja people live.

In order to assist each missionary and enable their work, at least 2 full time staff members in North America are also involved in ministry. LBTC sees these individuals as vital support staff. Supporting the home office in Canada is important too.
