V {Vision 2025}

Some of you have seen me wear this bracelet...

Some of you have even dared to ask, "Uhhh...why do you have a bracelet that says 2025 on it?"

I smile (a little too excitedly) and say, "I'm SO glad you asked!! Here's the deal..."

So pretend like today I'm wearing my bracelet and you see me at Wal-Mart (because other than church that's the only place I go...well and maybe DQ for happy hour...) and ask me, "Uhhh...why do you have a bracelet that says 2025 on it?"

I"M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!!

In 1999, translation projects were starting at the pace of about one every 18 days. At that rate, it would be 2150 before the last project would even begin. A daunting thought especially when you think that people are dying every day not knowing about Jesus and the eternal life He freely gives.

So, Wycliffe leaders challenged the Body of Christ to accelerate the pace at which translations were beginning. The goal? To see every remaining language have a translation project started by the year 2025.

Every time I talk about it, I get chills. To think that in my children's lifetime, all people's of the world could have a written language which ultimately would include having the Word of God in their heart language. Thankfully, with advances in technology and people following the Lord's leading, work continues each and every day to obtain this goal.
