Editor’s note: There was so much good stuff in this newsletter, that we will post in 2 parts! Part 1 is today…Part 2 will be posted tomorrow:
Celebrating the Word!
Twice a year, in the Spring and in the Fall, there is a special celebration of completed translation projects for the previous six months. Held in the Taboli room at the Wycliffe USA headquarters in Orlando, FL, festive and worshipful music, local and international guests, and a special speaker in linguistic missions highlights the celebration as well as the presentation of the New Testaments and Bibles in print. Feelings of inexpressible joy and reverence come over us when we have a chance after the presentation to view and examine the Scriptures in other languages knowing its transforming power is beyond what we can comprehend or imagine! Testimonies are endless and tears flow with gratitude for this gift from God. This year, the number of languages needing translation decreased from 2,040 to 1,967! Below 2,000! Glory to God!!
HDI Translation
This Sunday School in Marshall, MN, with their Bible Celebration Sunday, focused on the HDI translation project of Nigeria and Cameroon, raising enough change to print 66 copies!
Several readers mentioned how the HDI Peoples story in our September Prayer Letter really impacted them. Please keep praying for the anticipated December 2013 completion of this Scripture.
