Bill & Lee Hall
Mission: Wycliffe
Location: Philippines

Bill & Lee Hall serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators in the Philippines. After 32 years of working on Bible translation for the Subanon tribe in their native language, the New Testament was completed in 1996. Now the Halls teach translators how to work with pastors and others in the task of translation. In recent years, they have also been a part of overseeing the translation and voice-dubbing of Campus Crusade’s JESUS Film in the Subanon language. Faith Church supported this project with giving through the Lighthouse Project. Praise God for the enthusiasm of the Subanon believers, who want more hymns and more New Testaments in their language.
