Hi everyone,
I want to share something very close to my heart and invite you to be part of a mission that is already impacting lives in some of the most unreached places in the world.
A close friend of mine, Kaleb, is originally from Northwest Arkansas, he is currently serving as a missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). His journey first began in Costa Rica, and now he is serving in India where he is helping lead a small team of missionaries alongside his mentor. Over the past several months, Kaleb and I have had many inspiring and deep conversations about what God has placed on his heart. As I have spent time praying and seeking the Lord about these conversations, I truly believe God has deeply connected my heart to this vision and project as well and now I am honored to be able to help in sharing this vision and bringing awareness. This is something similar I’ve always felt deeply my heart to do for ten years now.
Kaleb carries an incredible passion for unity, teamwork, and reaching people who have little to no access to the Gospel. One line from a worship song that continually reminds me of this calling says, “He will find the ones who are willing to go. We will take this task.” That is exactly the kind of heart Kaleb carries and I can relate to this.
During this season of leadership training and preparation, Kaleb has been working on a project called Oral Mother Tongue Translation (OMT). He has committed to one OMT program, which is estimated to take 3-5 years. To hear more about this you can visit his page on Youtube and hear his testimony on how his journey began. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_mMepQjw-oY&ra=m
This movement is dedicated to bringing the Bible to people in their own spoken language through audio recordings created by fluent native speakers. These recordings are then distributed on microSD devices so entire communities can hear the Word of God in a language they fully understand and connect with personally.
For many of these tribes and remote villages, this will be the very first opportunity they have ever had to hear the Gospel in their own language or possess a Bible they can truly call their own.
Kaleb has already traveled multiple times into the Peruvian Amazon where he journeyed nearly twenty hours away from outside contact to live among and build relationships with tribal communities. During these trips, he developed strong relationships with village leaders, pastors, and families while witnessing firsthand both the beauty of their culture and the urgency of the need for the Gospel, as well as agricultural needs.
What makes this mission especially impactful is that it goes beyond simply delivering Bibles. The vision is to work alongside these communities long-term — helping equip and empower them physically and spiritually. This includes providing access to clean water, food resources, agricultural sustainability, and practical support that can improve daily life for generations to come.
Kaleb is uniquely gifted for this work. He recently graduated with a degree in Horticulture and has already used those skills in missions. In 2025, he served in Johannesburg, South Africa alongside SowMissions at Hope Farms, a ministry and a couple I am also personal friends with, Brittany and Lucas Santos, working to improve and cultivate farmland that supports ministry and community outreach efforts. He has a genuine servant’s heart and a deep desire to use every gift God has given him to reach the most unreached places on earth.
Right now, Kaleb is preparing to build a team of three other missionaries who are without doubt called to this type of ministry full time and who are very jungle tough. This team will eventually spend extended periods of time living among these tribes when the Lord opens the door for them to go. During this current season, Kaleb is fundraising for one of the most important parts of the mission: durable audio Bible devices that can survive the difficult jungle terrain, climate, and conditions of the Amazon.
Their goal is to provide 300 audio Bibles to these communities.
Because they are purchasing in bulk, each device costs only $15, including shipping!
That means for just $15, you can place the Word of God into the hands — and hearts — of someone living deep within the Peruvian Amazon in their own language!
Just imagine that for a moment:
A mother hearing Scripture in her native tongue for the first time.
A child learning about Jesus in a way they can fully understand.
A village gathering together to listen to the Gospel where there has never been access before.🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
This is more than a donation.
This is eternal impact.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me directly and I would be happy to connect you with Kaleb as well.
We have already seen God begin moving powerfully through the provision for this project, and we truly believe He will continue opening doors as the vision spreads.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, pray for this mission, and consider partnering with what God is doing among the nations.
With gratitude,
Chelsea
Missionary
