The Awa are an indigenous people of Ecuador with their own language and culture. Asbury mission partners Kevin and Kathy Bruce have served as missionaries in Ecuador for close to 30 years, ministering there about the Good News of Jesus. While they have a translation of the New Testament into the native Awa Pit language, the Old Testament has yet to be translated in full. This crucial ministry and teaching aid can become a reality with your help.
Your contributions this Christmas Eve will help to fund the staffing of Awa translation helpers, technical support for the project, including computers, and, eventually, the cost of publication as the books of the Old Testament are translated.
This Christmas Eve, 100% of Asbury’s Christmas Eve offering will be donated to this vital project. Your contributions can help to spread the word of God!
Kevin & Kathy Bruce are church planting across the mountains of Ecuador.
