I love Bible translation because there are so many amazing stories of how the Word of God in the local language transforms people and communities. It&#8217;s a privilege to be a part of the global Bible translation movement! This 5 minute video released by Wycliffe gives a glimpse into how Bible translation is impacting language communities in Madagascar. While this takes place far from Thailand, I am so encouraged to hear how we as Wycliffe are partnering with the local church to help get God&#8217;s Word translated and into hands of people who are hungry for Jesus! I hope you are encouraged too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Sihanaka of Madagascar: God Speaks in Our Language\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e_eDlzVPV70?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t make this video, but I&#8217;ll send out one of my own in a few days &#8211; stay tuned!
