29 Jan International Students at Huntington University Receive Bibles in Their Home Languages

Several months ago, United Brethren churches responded generously to an opportunity to serve international students at Huntington University who were asking for bibles in their home languages. We recently received an update from campus pastors, Karyn Kamphausen and Mark Vincenti, and wanted to share it with you. 

So far, students have received Bibles in the following languages:

• Portuguese / English
• Japanese / English
• Spanish / English
• Thai / English

In the coming weeks, German / English parallel Bibles will be added, along with additional Spanish / English copies. English Bibles have also been provided for students who requested them.

For many students, these parallel-language Bibles serve as a familiar voice, a spiritual anchor, and a reminder that they are seen and supported by the broader Body of Christ while studying in a new culture.

Karyn says, “some [students] are receiving a Bible for the first time ever. Thank you for helping us to purchase these Bibles (and many more) to give away.”

Thank you to the United Brethren churches and individuals who made this project possible. Your generosity is helping students engage Scripture in a deeply personal way, and the fruit of this ministry will continue to grow as God’s Word is read, shared, and lived out.
