UK Open Day

2010-02-16T08:41:45-06:00

THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

50 people attended the Open Day.15 of them were children of different ages! We want to thank everyone for their genuine interest in the work of Bible Translation. Not only did a local church host the gathering, but several friends prepared nibbles from countries where TWFTW has projects.

A presentation on Bible translation projects was given; a short film (where translators in Malawi and Tanzania were interviewed) was shown; Julia whetted people's appetite to read Operation Jonah and shared her heart when Tim was missing (reviews on the book can be found here); A presentation was given on training Bible translators; Mel related how God called her to be involved in TWFTW as Student Administrator; the attendees were then led in a time of prayer; the impact of Bible translation for a society was highlighted by showing how instrumental the Word of God was for the transformation of Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. Question and Answer session stimulated more interest.?

Various people had prepared nibbles that are typical of the countries where TWFTW has projects and guests were sent on their way with a homemade winter soup.

ENGLAND: You are invited!

2010: From the President's Report

Sena Project in Malawi: Translation Team and Supporters

The year 2009 has been challenging to all of us, due to the worldwide economic recession. At the end of such a year it is a great privilege to be able to declare that God is faithful. We have seen Him work in wonderful ways, and it has been a great experience to work with Him. For everything that has been accomplished we give all glory to the Lord. Many thanks to all our partners: churches, foundations, supporters, intercessors, those who have volunteered their time and resources or skills, those who have made donations in kind, and other ministries.

A special word of thanks must also go to all members of The Word for the World: translators, faculty, consultants, board members, and administrators. We know that nothing we do in the Lord’s service is ever in vain (1 Cor 15.58). We rejoice at having been able to work for the Lord, and we anticipate great outcomes from our work.

A Word from the president, Dr. Veroni Krüger

Golf Day Fundraiser

2009-12-02T09:19:50-06:00

A Golf event was held at a Country Club in Vereeniging, South Africa.

40 Players paid R250 each to participate, and were invited to sponsor a hole for R1000. It turned out to be a very cold, rainy and windy day but golfers are brave! R51 000 was raised for Bible translation work in Ethiopia.*

It was a great and enjoyable day, playing together to help bring God’s Word to all people in their heart language.

Thank you to all who participated.

* The Word for the World is involved in 12 translation projects in Ethiopia. You help to translate the entire Bible into the heart languages of 12 people groups!

Would you like to organize a fundraiser for Bible Translation?

There will be frequent postings here on our homepage so visit us often!

Come and celebrate with the Chikunda people of Zimbabwe! They recently received The New Testament in their heart language, for the very first time! On the 1st August 2009, many government and church leaders, dignitaries, school teachers and children celebrated with supporters and local people. So many TWFTW partners and team members worked together to accomplish this victory! All glory and honour to God.

There were several outreaches by churches to the Achikunda. These churches also bought copies of the Bibles and distributed them. Please pray for provision for the 3,600 remaining copies of the Chikunda New Testament.
