PRAY
Join us in prayer for the advancement of Bible translation
Sign up here to receive our monthly prayer calendar and join thousands of believers worldwide interceding for God’s Word to reach every people group.
Your prayers are vitally important!
People working in the Church-Centric Bible Translation movement face enormous challenges — some of them life-and-death struggles.
Please join us as we pray for these brothers and sisters across the globe as they work tirelessly to reach those who don’t have the Word of God in their language!
Monthly Regional Highlight – Iran
One of unfoldingWord’s key strategies is the Whole Bible Whole Nation (WBWN) program, which equips church leaders in a nation to manage their translation needs for Bible translation, church planting, and theological training. Instead of only focusing on individual languages, WBWN programs take a national approach to Bible translation. Prior to the recent unrest and internet shutdown in Iran, Transform Iran was working on translations into twenty ethnic languages. Four are complete Bibles; the rest are other Christian materials, such as Open Bible Stories and discipleship materials. Please pray for peace and protection for our Iranian brothers and sisters in Christ.
