Wycliffe vision is to see a Bible translation program started in every language still needing one by the year 2025. As you might imagine, this challenge requires enormous resources.

I am at 23 weeks now
Today I am 23 weeks, more than half way. Woohoo!
I feel:
- Wonderful
- Amazing
- Healthy, though still have problem with my lower back and right leg
- Gaining weight (of course!)
- More and more uncomfortable because of the belly is getting big
- More baby’s kicking from inside (and at my ribs, too!)
I am praying God for every moment I can enjoy being pregnant and having this little baby growing health and strong inside my womb. So thankful for this little one.
I am praising God for He has been preparing us in many ways to be parents for our children and preparing Abigail to be a big sister. And I keep on praying that by the time the baby arrives, we will be ready and all people will praise God!
As A Deer
As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God.
Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and God.
(Psalm 42:1, 5 NLT)
All I need is You – my God, my Savior and my Redeemer.
All I want is to be in Your presence, o God, worshiping you.
All I desire is You and Your love only.
All I long for is You.
One Verse Brings Hope
I Know What Poverty Is
Pictures taken by all Wycliffe Discovery Teams (2006-2008)
Bible poverty is a devastating problem hitting people around the world. It is more than 340 million people. That’s nearly one-third of the world’s language groups that do not have one verse of the Scripture in the language that they understand the best in their heart. In a previous post of mine here, I discussed a movement working to end Bible poverty, with organizations and actions that can make a big difference in people’s lives – spiritually, physically, economically and culturally. How having the Word of God can chane every aspect of our life, community and the whole world.
I know what poverty is. I know the feeling being hungry and have nothing to eat. I know how desperate people feel when they need something but they cannot afford to get it. I know, because I’ve been there, my family has been there and I used to live in a country where I can see poverty every where I went, every single day. I’ve seen these people only sleep under the Flyovers, Bridges, sleeping on a piece of cardboard at the sidewalk, or if they can they build a shelter out of cardboard. They are hungry, cold and try hard to find something to eat. I’ve seen kids digging in a trash can just for a food. I’ve seen a mother would take her baby and sing on a bus just to get some cash to buy her baby food. How could I ever forget those faces?
It’s not a fair life for them. It’s injustice. It’s not what God wants to see. It’s not what we wanna see.
If you ask them what would make their life better, they would say a good job, more money, able to go to school and food. That would help them feel better – think that having all of what they desire would give them a better life. Even though they would get every single thing they want, they are still going to lose their souls, Jesus said in Mark 8:36-38. They need God’s word, they need to know that they have eternal life with Christ. They need to know that above all, they need Jesus Christ, who can change their life, spiritually and physically.
