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.

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.
