Silvano’s Life Was Changed Forever!
You can help transform lives through Bible translation.
God is moving around the world and people are encountering Jesus as they receive Scripture in a language they clearly understand. You are an essential part of the team, making the Bible available to more communities through your support.
In the Yaganiza community of Mexico, as people experience God’s Word, sing worship songs and listen to preaching in their language, church attendance is increasing.
Yaganiza youth are not the only ones being impacted. The translation team has traveled to several churches to engage people with Yaganiza Scripture and the elderly people in these churches have become interested in God’s Word as well.
Silvano, a 75-year-old Yaganiza church member, lived most of his life without being able to read or listen to Scripture in his language. He and his community have struggled through personal conflicts without God’s Word. But when he encountered the first words of Scripture in Yaganiza, Silvano reported:
He continued, “[I don’t] know how to read, but the reading that has been done in my church has impacted my life; I have understood the Word of God. … [Scripture] has strengthened me and has brought peace to my heart.”
Community members are recognizing the value of God’s Word in their language, and local churches have even helped provide office space and pay for electricity for the team to do their work.
Thank you for being part of God’s work of transforming lives through Bible translation.
