Uganda

Language map of Uganda

There are 45 living languages in Uganda. Wycliffe is currently working in four, but there are more that are still waiting for Bible translation.

I don’t know what you think about when you hear the name “Uganda”, but I think about rebirth and opportunity. Birth isn’t easy – especially for the mother! And opportunity often comes in the midst of change, trauma or calamity.

Celebration!

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Eleven language communities – hundreds of thousands of people – now can hear God speak to them.  Lives and communities are being transformed.

Earlier this week we participated in the celebration of the publication of newly translated Scripture in 11 language communities. Enjoy the abridged celebration here. (It is large, so it takes a minute to start once you click it.)

You’ll notice that Ruth is leading worship for the group of several hundred attendees. We are meeting at Wycliffe USA’s Mobilization Center in Orlando, FL.
