Hello! My name is Addison Hamby born and raised in Arkansas!

About 3 years ago, the Lord asked me to take the biggest leap of faith I had ever taken in my life. He asked me if I would be willing to leave my whole life here behind and to GO to the ends of the earth for the sake of the Gospel. I gave Him a simple YES…that’s all it took for Him to make it all happen.

So I did a Discipleship Training School (DTS) through YWAM and quickly fell in love with missions. My desire deepened to know God and to make Him known. So this desire to know God’s character and nature brought me to do a 3 month Bible school (DBS) in Nepal. Living in Nepal, I realized that there were MANY people who had little to no Bible access. God broke my heart for what broke His and this sparked a fire in my heart to see this change.

Recently, God spoke to me through a dream showing me that I would go to every nation in the Middle East and North Africa and bring Bibles to people groups who have none written in their own mother tongue. God opened the perfect door to work with YWAM Oral Mother Tongue (OMT) translation in Pokhara, Nepal.

I will be going alongside a team to villages in the Himalayas to recruit translators and release waves of audio-recorded Bibles. With this method, it only takes around 13 months to complete an audio-Bible compared to other methods that take 20-50 years to complete. But it’s not just about completing a translation, it's about the impact that it makes when people hear the Word of God being spoken out. The Bible becomes personal because it’s in their own mother tongue.

The long-term vision is to eventually be able to pioneer OMT to the Middle East and North Africa where it has not yet beenreached.

Thank you so much for your support financially and through prayer, it means the world to me!

Addison
