D, the translator we sponsor, works to help translate the Bible into three local languages. She also puts on linguistics and translation classes for the local people because they are a vital part in the translation process.

The Wycliffe organization explains, “The benefits of translation and literacy for these minority language groups are many. They include better health as a result of access to medical information, economic growth due to the acquisition of marketable skills, and the preservation of culture thanks to a written history. Most importantly, Bible translation brings people closer to God Himself—the One who transforms hearts.”
