I recently received an email from a team leader in a country which we’ll call MM, where TWFTW is heading up 8 translation projects.

I recently had the privilege of doing some Bible teaching on an Oak Hall trip to one of the most unreached countries in the world, Japan! We spent time in Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, and the Mount Fuji area.

A few weeks ago one of our staff in Myanmar sent us this urgent prayer request: “The country is facing civil war in many areas, along with devastating floods, creating unimaginable suffering for so many people.”

Imagine what it must feel like to qualify for a place at the Olympics, and then to be considered as one of the favourites in your particular sport to win a gold medal. Imagine what it must then be like to have to pull out of your scheduled race after months and even years of training. It must be gutting.

The Guji people have waited 26 years for a full Bible in their language. Meet the Guji community in Ethiopia. This is the story of how in June 2024, they finally received the entire Bible translated in their native language. To celebrate, thousands gathered together to throw a massive party and praise God! But unfortunately, there are 3,000+ other languages that do not have God’s word in their native language.

Imagine what it must be like to wait 25 years for something to happen! That’s how long the Guji translation project has been on the go – but, just two weeks ago, the Guji people of Ethiopia finally received their full Bible.
