LET’S PRAY TOGETHER
A Prayer for Bible Translation
Father God, You long for people from every language to understand the Bible and be transformed. You’ve called Your Church to make disciples of all nations, and we gladly accept this invitation. Please equip Your Church to make the gospel available to all people in a language and format they clearly understand. We are completely dependent on You to see this accomplished, and we pray with expectation and anticipation for the joy set before us.
May Your name be lifted high as we — all parts of Your global Church — humbly seek Your face, asking You to do more than we can even begin to imagine, so that all people can encounter You through Scripture. This is all for You, Lord — for Your glory and the good of Your people everywhere. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
The Impact of Prayer
How Prayer Changes Lives
Praying for Bible translation is really praying for God to change lives through His Word. There’s so much power in prayer — it changes our own lives as we pray for others!
A CHILD'S PRAYER

AGAINST ALL ODDS
Having lost everything, a displaced people group from South Sudan leaned on the prayers of others to move their New Testament translation forward.
A CLOSED DOOR
William Cameron Townsend and L.L. Legters went to Mexico in 1933 to start work among 50 people groups. But the immigration officer refused to let them enter.
