Amy shares about her background, and current work with the Mende and Themne language communities and the importance of Bible translation in their lives.
Translators face a unique set of challenges that go beyond the scope of their work. Balancing personal and community responsibilities, managing health issues, and ensuring travel safety are just a few of the obstacles they encounter.
