Praise God that after 66 years of waiting, the Isnag people in the Philippines are finally able to hold the complete Bible in their hands! Nard Pugyao, an Isnag believer and the first indigenous missionary pilot, talked about his joy: “I marvel and awe and say, ‘God, this is it.’”

Dr. Rudy Barlaan, a translator and consultant, emphasized that “everything [God] does is for His own glory and name’s sake … so His plan is always carried out.” Mark Pugyao, a co-translator on the project and a local pastor, said that when he reads the Bible in Isnag, his heart feels “like butter melting.” He said: “I really understand every single word that the Lord says in His Word.”
