This is the face of courage. Stephanie and her husband uprooted their four children from their comfortable life in the US and moved halfway across the world to answer a call from God. Her husband is a pastor and they felt called to go to Southeast Asia and live on mission to help strengthen local Christians.
“I came across Love God Greatly over 2 years ago when I was searching online for verse-by-verse Bible studies. Before we moved to Southeast Asia, we set up a study group via text for busy moms that don’t have time to go to a study. It grew quickly and soon we had women from Indiana, Ohio, and California all in the group. Now we have women from Texas, Nevada, and even Germany! We just love it!”
After Stephanie and her family moved to Southeast Asia, they soon realized the serious lack of a firm foundation in the local Christian community and started looking for more resources to help them teach God’s Word. They led an English study with the women of their local church, which was comprised of half Burmese-speaking women and half English-speaking women. But many of the Burmese-speaking women did not speak English at all.
Stephanie knew it would be a large undertaking for her team to translate a Love God Greatly study into Burmese. But she also knew women from different tribes all over Southeast Asia and a study in Burmese would be versatile and serve so many of them. Once she realized they could use Love God Greatly resources for free and easily distribute their translations through LoveGodGreatly.com, they decided to go for it!
“Providing the studies for us to translate at no additional cost is such a blessing! We found others would also allow us to translate their resources, but they asked us to pay for digital files. We cannot afford extra costs because we are missionaries living in a foreign country. And we knew many refugees back in the United States would benefit from the Love God Greatly translations too.”
In a country that is primarily Buddhist with a high level of religious persecution, Stephanie and her team translated the entire book of James through the Love God Greatly study and successfully completed two study groups!
“I have been really, really blessed by the studies and so have all my friends. Their walk with the Lord has been changed through your verse-by-verse studies on books of the Bible. Thank you for helping us minister to those here that are hungry for God.”
They loved the study so much that they are praying about translating another study! Will you join us in prayer for their team and for the precious women they serve? Please pray this is the Lord’s will for them and for doors to open! Thank you!

VIcky, How wonderful that you have translated into Burmese! I have some Christian Burmese refugee friends here in Columbia, SC that I would love to introduce to our studies…some speak English, some do not…but all read and understand best in Burmese. How can I get them the materials that you have translated into Burmese?
Thanks so much!
Looking forward to sharing with them…
Cheryl
