LET’S PRAY FOR EACH STEP
transformation through translation
We believe prayer is absolutely essential for Bible translation — not only for the start of the work in remaining languages but also as churches and communities around the world press forward to have the full counsel of God’s Word. And at each step of the way, lives are transformed!
LET’S PRAY TOGETHER RIGHT NOW!
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 earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. — James 5:16b (NLT)
