Celebrating Todd's mom's birthday and Christmas at her nursing home in Oklahoma City

Bible translation stats: In 2025, Todd led quality assurance (consultant) checks covering 6,298 verses across 11 books of the Bible in four languages.

Bible translation testimonial: The Macedonian Arli translation team shared this testimony: “In a group of five Arli people, they were comparing the Macedonian Bible with the new Arli translation. They saw it agreed well with the Macedonian Bible but by the end of studying the Scriptures from the Arli translation, they said it reads more naturally for them and that it had richer meaning and depth than the Macedonian Bible for them as well. [In another church …] the translators visited to do a presentation about their project. When the people heard and read the Arli translation, they were surprised that the Bible could sound so clear. And they rejoiced that they could hear the Scriptures in their heart language.”

Bible teaching on Philippians and the Psalms: Todd has had the privilege of teaching adult Equip Hour (Sunday school) at church. You can find these messages at https://www.crosswaybible.org/equip/speaker/u/4/dr–todd-price.

Sermon, “Perfect Love Casts out Fear” (on 1 John 4:15-21): You can watch Todd’s sermon at https://www.youtube.com/live/1j7RxdsMR1Q?si=MqkKBnIAaA3hjAVM&t=1577 (beginning at 26:17). Also, enjoy the Christmas worship music before and after the service where Pamala sang with the worship team.
