Fueling Bible Translation

Wycliffe Prayer Community

Bible translation is not simply about language — it’s about lives being transformed through God’s Word. Every verse translated, every language engaged and every community reached begins with prayer.

Long before Scripture is printed, recorded or shared, God is already at work opening doors and preparing hearts. By praying, you’re lifting up the translators who are often serving in difficult circumstances and facing spiritual opposition — and the communities longing for God’s Word in their language.

Together, we can partner with God in a global movement to bring Scripture to every heart, everywhere. Will you join us?

Project of the Week

Wanda-Sichela Cluster

Something remarkable is happening in Tanzania!

For the first time, the Wanda-Sichela Cluster project is bringing Scripture to the Wanda and Sichela communities in a way that they can clearly understand.

The team is engaging communities, addressing community challenges, partnering with churches and preparing the way for future written Scripture.

Step by step, they’re making God’s Word clear and accessible so more people can encounter Jesus in a personal way.

Ways To Pray

Simple Prayers for Our Featured Project

Pray for the Community

Thank You, Lord, for the Wanda and Sichela communities! We ask You to provide sufficient rainfall for the many people who depend on farming and fishing for their livelihood.

Open their hearts to receive Your Word as it’s translated into their language.

Pray for the Team

Protect the translation teams, both physically and spiritually, as they work. Give the team wisdom as they work on the written Bible translation process.

Pray for the Region

God, protect Christians as they face opposition. Bring peace where there is conflict and political volatility. Provide for those who face food insecurity.

Use Your Word to transform the lives of individuals and entire communities in this region of Africa.

Scripture Dedication

Last year the Urim of Papua New Guinea dedicated their New Testament! The people celebrated the occasion with a four-hour service that included traditional dances, worship, a sermon, speeches and a special feast.

Some of the Urim translators and literacy supervisors carried in a box of New Testaments decorated with local flowers and greenery, symbolizing the fact that Scripture has now been brought to the people.

A few weeks after the dedication, Scripture use courses were held in two different villages to teach people how to use their New Testaments. During the week-long event, over 370 people attended the courses each day!

Praise God that Urim people are now able to understand God’s love for them through Scripture in their language.
