Taking time to thank God is one thing. It is important don’t misunderstand me, it
is most important. Without Him there would be no Wycliffe Associates or Bible translation ministry at all. It is another thing entirely to take the
time to thank each and every one of you who are reading this. By reading this
you are becoming more educated about the need for Bible translation and more
impassioned to participate and do something about it.
Thank you to all of those who are a part of my
financial support team (which anyone can be a part of) it is due to the
generous giving that you do which allows me to be a full time participant in
creating the resources we use to help translate the Bible. You are invaluable
and nothing would be the same without you. The funds that you consistently send
each month do not just help me to be able to dedicate my time to this mission,
but they transfer directly to verses of the Bible becoming accessible to
indigenous people who have never read the Bible before!
Thank you to those who are praying. Because of the cross of Jesus, when we pray our words are drenched in the holy, righteous
blood of our Savior. They are holy words. They are words which go directly to
God and are a pleasing aroma to Him. Lifting up the ministry of Bible
Translation and me as a translation missionary is the one thing that causes the
most change in the world. Nations are won through the power of prayer. Bibles
are translated through the power of prayer. I am empowered and given physical
perseverance in this tiresome and tedious mission through the power of
prayer. So, thank you for praying. You are the church of Christ, and His church is a praying church!
Again, In Him Alone,
Andrew J. Belcher
