God's Word for All People

In the first three months of 2026, translation of 710 books of the Bible have been completed. Through your prayers and gifts for my Wycliffe ministry, you are helping provide God’s Word for all people! Here's one example of the impact of the Scriptures as people receive them:

In September 2023, the Simbari New Testament in Papua New Guinea was dedicated! God’s power was evident in every aspect of the dedication ceremony. The translation team was so encouraged to hear the crowds’ audible responses and applause as God’s Word was read aloud. Jesus’ name was lifted up, and many in the crowd heard the gospel for the first time clearly.

One Simbari speaker talked about how the cover of their new Bible is similar in color to the traditional bark cape that they carry everywhere and use to cover themselves. He talked about the importance of the Simbari people taking God’s Word with them everywhere they go and emphasized that its truths should cover every area of their lives.
