MISSIONARIES: FEWER CONFLICTS WHEN PEOPLE 'ABSORB' SCRIPTURE


Wycliffe Association reports that missonaries often report fewer conflicts once locals absorb the Bible in their own language.


Last year, Wycliffe Associates recruited 4,124 volunteers who served in 49 countries alongside Bible translation teams. The organization hopes to mobilize more than 4,800 volunteers this year to serve in 41 countries with building and renovating facilities, constructing roads and airstrips, teach VBS, and help with language development and office work and computer related activities.


The power of God's Word is wondrous in our eyes!
