Wycliffe Associates Plans Secret Session to Help Christians Risking Their Lives to Translate the Bible

Wycliffe Associates said that four of its workers were killed at an office in the Middle East in March

Written by Stoyan Zaimov | Friday, April 8, 2016

“There is no place on Earth where God’s Word is more urgently needed,” Bruce Smith, president and CEO of Wycliffe Associates, said in a statement shared with The Christian Post Tuesday. “This is a place of terror, oppression, violence, death, and heartache. To be a Christian is to be a target. Yet the few Christians living there are pleading for Bibles to share secretly with the many, many people around them who are hungry for the truth.”

 

Wycliffe Associates, a ministry focused on Bible-translation work that recently suffered a terror attack on one of its officers where four workers were killed, has announced that it is scheduling a training session for Bible translators working in the most dangerous places for Christians on Earth.
