Who was Cameron Townsend?
Cameron Townsend was the founder of JAARS, Wycliffe Bible Translators, and SIL. He was passionate about getting the Bible to people in their own language. That passion was born when he was selling Spanish Bibles in Guatemala. A member of a minority language asked him, “If your God is so great, why doesn’t he speak my language?” That’s when Uncle Cam decided to begin work in Bible translation.
How old was Cameron Townsend when he went as a missionary to Guatemala?
