“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

~ Matthew 24:14 ~

Within Our Lifetime!!

We are living in a time like no other. Within our lifetime, every people group could actually have Scripture in their own language! Never before in the history of the world have we been so close. 🙌

In the last year alone, over 45 different language groups have received translated Scripture, representing millions and millions of people.

From the Label in Papua New Guinea, to the Laarim in South Sudan…

From the Mankon in Cameroon, to the Zanaki of Tanzania…

People all over the world are receiving Scripture in their own language.

AND, new translation projects are starting at an accelerating rate! With new technologies and global partnerships, the Church is closer than ever to seeing every language have access to God’s Word.

“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.”

~ Revelation 7:9a ~

What an exciting time to be alive! What an important time to be involved in the work of Bible translation. 🙏

God’s Hand at Work in Global Bible Translation

For years, Wycliffe has desired to see a translation project started in every language that needs Scripture by 2025. That’s the end of this year, and we’re getting closer and closer!

“We are the generation to see the Bible made available to every man, woman, and child.”

~ Kelly Chesnut – Spiritual Development Officer

I bounced up and down with excitement as I wrote this. God is on the move and it’s EXCITING!

Check out this video sharing about Vision 2025 and the progress being made in the world of Bible translation.

“These aren’t just numbers. Every data point represents real people — individuals who will now have the opportunity to encounter Jesus through Scripture in a language and format they truly understand. As we share what God is doing across the globe, may we do so with passion and joy.”

~ Melissa Paredes – Wycliffe Bible Translators ~
