What if...?

... our Bible were just as important as our cell phone?

... we treated it like we couldn't live without it

... when we forgot it, we went back to get it

... we had lots of gadgets to keep us connected to it

... we always had it close by in case of emergency

Gwo Bvanye - To Grind and Erase

“I grew up in a home that trusted our ancestors for our care and protection. When difficulties arose, my father made a sacrifice to the gods, that peace might be restored. When I came to Christ, I turned away from my old family beliefs in ancestors." Read more...

A Deaf Heart

Deaf people live in a visual world,” says signed-language linguist Steve Parkhurst. “For them, language isn’t linear. You've got your hands doing one thing, and your face doing something else, and you've got body movement—it’s a dynamic, exciting experience.”

Jesus is Konkomba!

Nearly 400 new churches have been planted in the Konkomba areas of Ghana and Togo in Africa since the Bible was printed! It was translated by a team of Konkomba people, supervised by Mary Steele MBE, who works with our Ghanaian partner organisation GILLBT. This remarkable spiritual response resulted from the use of the Scriptures in print and on cassette, the Jesus Film and the literacy programme. Read more...

A Ride to Work

By Ali Coombe
Our family leaves at first light to take advantage of the calmer seas of early morning. A 20-foot fiberglass boat with outboard engine, called a "canoe" by the local people, will take us 20 miles across the sea from Honiara to our village on Big Gela Island.

The Missionary that never sleeps!

By Sue Montag
My husband Dick and I were Bible Translators with the Cashinahua in Peru from 1969 to 1981. Almost as soon as we got off the plane on our first trip there, Mario (the only believer in the group), told us he had been promised by our predecessors that we would help him to become a bilingual school teacher.

Bible Translation

The Bible can meet the spiritual needs of every man, woman and child on earth. But they need to read it in the language they understand best. Over 3,000 people groups, more than 380 million people, still don't have the Bible translated into their language.

History

One Crazy Gringo

Wycliffe founder William Cameron Townsend faced the future with openness, spontaneity and creativity. He was an explorer who chose not to follow existing models, but forthrightly forged ahead, believing God was guiding his dreams.

Short Stories

Reflections on a Lighthouse

I recently watched the BBC series, Seven Wonders of the Industrial World (which I highly recommend). One particular story of the construction of the Bell Rock Lighthouse resonated with me and with Wycliffe's goal of getting the Bible into the languages of the world. Psalm 119:105 says "thy Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" but many cultures, people groups and languages of the world are still walking around in the dark, their lives and eternities being wrecked by jaggered rocks hidden below the waves that could have been avoided if only they were seen.
