  3. Only 500 languages out of the 7,000 languages have the entire Bible.

  4. More than 2,300 of those languages have no Scripture translated.

  5. That’s approximately200 million peoplewithout the Word of God in a language thatspeaks to their heart.

  6. From these Bibleless language communities, over 2.4 millionpeople die annually without God’s Wordin their language.

  7. Wycliffe is committed to accelerating the rate of new language translations in response to this incredible need, so that an accurate Bible translation would be inprogress in every language needingone by the year 2025.

  8. Why?

  9. Because everyone should have thechance to hear God’s Word in a language they understand best.

  10. People’s lives are changed when they hear God’s message of love in their own language, and Wycliffe’s work is criticalto making that happen.

  11. The Bible isn’t the only thing translated into minority languages.

  12. In addition to Scripture, other materials are translated—things like health information,cultural stories, andtrauma healing literature.

  13. This holistic approach truly impacts every aspect ofa person’s life—spiritual, emotional and physical.

  16. How I FIT IN Translations, dictionaries, health books, etc. take decades to produce through translation. Storage and transfer to current electronic formats is needed to preserve them for future use. This preservation is my job.

  17. MY NEXT sTEPS By God’s grace I will continue to preserve translations, dictionaries, health books, etc.

  21. -God’s hand on my coworkers and myself as we work together as a team to serve Bible translation projects. -More laborers to help get the Bible, God’s love letter, into every person’s language. They have lived long enough in darkness without Jesus wondering if God cares enough about them to speak their language.
