Here you can stay connected with our life and work with Wycliffe Bible Translators, through whom we have served the church worldwide since 2001. We have the privilege to help develop alphabets for unwritten languages.
We could not do this without the partnership of many. Whether it is a timely prayer over us at 2am, a note or package to show you’re still behind us, or whatever financial help God has called you to send for the support of our Wycliffe ministry, we are humbled by the sacrificial support of you, our partners. You are a continuous reminder of God’s power and faithfulness. God will complete His work, but we are privileged to join Him in it. And you, too, are in the trenches with us, serving to the glory of God.

Nos sincères remerciements s’adressent à Monsieur Kent pour l’idée qu’il a eu de créer l’AZT, un logiciel expérimenté pour ce genre de travaux. Ses interventions chaque fois que cela était nécessaire, nous ont grandement aidées.
Moi, je ne savais pas que notre langue pouvait avoir son alphabet. Cet atelier m’a permis d’en prendre connaissance.
Je suis bénéficiaire de ce que je n’avais pas depuis ma naissance. Je confirme que ma langue a eu un nouvel élan.
