The Twenty: Church Partnerships

"A triple-braided cord is not easily broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:12, NLT). 

Many of the world’s remaining translation needs are located in nations considered “hard to reach.” Often, Wycliffe cannot name these language communities for fear of jeopardizing the safety of translators and their work. But it is these very areas that are most in need of prayer.

Wycliffe’s prayer initiative, The Twenty, encourages U.S. churches to pray for the twenty areas with the greatest remaining translation need. We firmly believe that, by bathing each country in prayer, the Scriptures will be translated and nations will be transformed. So we’re recruiting committed prayer partners to stand in the gap for these sensitive countries.

Wycliffe is recruiting three congregations to stand in the gap for each of the 20 countries with the greatest remaining translation needs. These churches have a heart for missions and believe in the power of prayer. Is this your church?
