Bible translation work: challenging yet rewarding

Shortlisting Bible verses for e-cards

The TWIG Cluster project has brought the pastors and leaders of various church denominations together to support the team with the Bible Translation (BT) work. The pastors anticipate the translated Scriptures would be a great tool for evangelism among the unreached groups in Nepal.

For the Wanchi team, their project has been an eye-opener. The translators saw the work as very demanding, yet fulfilling. They delve deep into the Scriptures to fully grasp God’s Message. They have become so engrossed in their work that each time a verse or passage was read out during group devotion, some members would jump at the thought of exegeting it!

The Wanchi community accorded respect to the team for their dedicated work. They could not hide their excitement in knowing that the Scriptures are being translated into their language. Also, the community checkers have been very cooperative in answering the call of duty.

The Lilac translation team sought God’s guidance to enable them to focus on tasks scheduled for the quarter.

The project work schedule was hampered by the coronavirus lockdown. Work could not go on as planned. The group had to shelve the task of reviewing the book of Hebrews because they could not meet due to the lockdown. However hapless they were, the team knew they could always count on God for divine guidance. True enough, their prayers led to progress at work!
