Here is a moving story of a couple who helped make the Jesus Film possible in yet another language community in the world. The Jesus Film is an abridged version of the Gospel according to Luke. It is now in over 1,000 languages thanks to Wycliffe’s partnership with Campus Crusade for Christ.

For the Gamo people of Ethiopia, the Seed Company (a part of Wycliffe) oversaw the translation of the Gospel of Luke.  Campus Crusade produced the film. Financial partners not only made it possible, but were able to start the projector for the first showing of the Jesus Film for the Gamo people.

It is hard to be a pioneer. When I first heard Nancy Honeytree’s song Pioneer, I thought she wrote it about many of us in Wycliffe. It’s really about her life, but the tears that flow most times that I listen to this tells me that a prophet has spoken to me.

The past couple of months seem to have whizzed by. There have been days when I have been quite stressed – times when I realize I need to consciously work at releasing anxiety and tell myself the truth that God is in control and he deeply loves my family and me. And there have been times when the day has been relaxing and full of joy.

I don’t think a day has gone by, though, where I have not been thankful to be part of the Bible translation movement – what an honor! …and where I have not been thankful for the wonderful family, friends, and home we are able to live in. God is so kind.
