Translating for Understanding from Wycliffe USA on Vimeo.
Fictional characters Christy and Kaiya work through a difficult Bible translation challenge. When cultural perspective changes the meaning of Scripture, the translation team has to work harder to make sure the translation communicates the true message of spiritual freedom God intended.

Imagine facing each day without knowing God. Or, imagine not having a Bible to read in your language.
Every day hundreds of millions of people speaking more than 2,000 unique languages face life without the comfort of God’s Word — not even ONE verse of Scripture — in their language.

How can you be part of bringing the Good News to the people who are waiting in the language that they can understand best in their heart?
Scripture exists in almost 2700 of the 6837 languages currently known to be in use.
At least 4.8 billion people have a Bible available in their first language. A further 595 million people have the New Testament (but only some, if any, of the Old Testament).
Work is in progress for many of the communities who have none of God’s Word in their language or insufficient Scripture. Current estimates suggest around 350 million people speaking 2040 languages may have a need for Bible translation to begin.
Today, over 100 organisations from more than 60 nations form the Wycliffe Global Alliance. Since the first Wycliffe organisation began in 1942, people from these organisations, working alongside local communities, have assisted in the translation of 781 complete New Testaments and 27 complete Bibles, potentially impacting around 145 million people speaking 749 languages.

Road To Transformation: The Bible translation process can be loosely compared to a roadmap of checkpoints. While each language project is unique, this map helps to simplify an otherwise complex process for the purpose of illustration.
This is the Road Map to life transformation for the speakers of more than 2000 languages, those who are waiting for God to speak to them in the language that they understand clear and best in their heart.
