Simple Faith With Rusty George Rusty George

I am joined by my friend Gregg Pruett who is the President of Pioneer Bible Translators and has the important task of translating the Bible into different languages. That might sound simple, but Gregg explains how difficult that really is. In the podcast, Gregg shares about his time living in Africa and explains how messages can be lost in translations and misinterpreted at times, with a story about how John the Baptist’s story was translated. I ask that we partner in prayer and support Gregg in this challenging commission with translating the Bible.
