WYCLIFFE BIBLE TRANSLATION PROJECT

In partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators, GCC Young Adults is launching Part 2 of a year-long fundraiser to help finish the Scriptures. Today, nearly 5.9 billion people have access to an entire Bible in a language they can understand (https://www.wycliffe.net/resources/statistics/ ).   That means we have the Bible in 724 different languages. But much work must be done before everyone can read God's word.  

Jesus' last command His followers to "Go and make disciples of all nations." (Matt. 28:19). How can they become disciples if they can't read God's word?   Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission (now OMF International), once pointed out, "The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed." We can participate in God's plan to take the Gospel to all people groups in numerous ways. One of those ways is to help mobilize others.   By supporting Wycliffe Bible Translators, we support making disciples worldwide. 

Consider how you can help Finish the Scriptures today for the Okphela of Nigeria.  

The Okphela of Nigeria are on their way to having a complete translated Bible! Their New Testament was finished in 2012, and this gift will help translate, check, and publish all 39 Old Testament books. Once both testaments are completed, the entire Bible will be typeset and printed. The "JESUS" film will also be officially released, and screenings will be organized in local communities.
