End Bible Poverty for the Mushere People

My 7-year-old son, Obadiah, and I have been talking a lot about the Bible these days.  I told him that there are people around the world who have never been able to read it because it has never been translated in their language.  This fact overwhelmed him.  It truly shook him up.

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. (‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬ ESV)

We decided to do something about it.  We have a connection with the Mushere people of Nigeria and we are partnering with The Seed Company to complete a Bible translation in their native language.  Our church had raised enough money to translate 1 Peter and 2 Peter a few years ago as a gift to our pastor.

We desperately want to finish the job.  This isn’t a church project this time.  This is my son and I working together on a project that we are both passionate about.

Our goal is to sell these t-shirts and sell snacks at his lemonade stand to raise the money.  Would love if you could help us out!

So here is what the shirt looks like:

The tagline of the Seed Company is #EndBiblePoverty.  The verse underneath is the Mushere version of 1 Peter. 1:25 which states “The Word of the Lord remains forever.”  The icon at the bottom is a combination of the flag and map of Nigeria.

So, if you would like to join the campaign, you can order a shirt here.  The shirts are $20.  You can pay a flat shipping fee of $5 or you can get it shipped to me and get it from me after campaign closes in 2 weeks.  $5 to be shipped to you.  $0 to be shipped to me (but I will need your help getting it – please don’t live in Alaska and hope I can get it to you ;)).

The money raised goes directly to The Seed Company.  None of the money will come to me.  Between this, the lemonade stand, and any other donations, we are believing that God can finish this project up.

If you want to get me anything for a birthday present, here is your call – let’s finish up a Bible translation for these people and be used by God to see another tribe be around the throne in eternity!  Get one today!
