You have prayed around the world this week.
You have stood with believers across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, Europe, and beyond.
You have joined a prayer that never stops—one that follows the sun across every time zone, rising in one place as it sets in another.
The Church stretches across every continent and every generation.
In Revelation, John saw a vision that was almost impossible to describe: a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before the throne. Every language. Not most. Not the major ones. Every single one.
Every Bible translation completed, every Deaf person who experiences Scripture for the first time, every Deaf church strengthened through the Bible, brings us one step closer to the picture John saw.
Together with our partners, are working toward a world where everyone can access the Bible in a language they clearly understand by 2033. The translators are serving. The technology is advancing. The Church is responding.
Your prayers this week matter. Your prayers encouraged Bible translation around the world. They reached places few people can go. They strengthened translators, ministry leaders, and believers faithfully serving Deaf communities, many of whom you will never meet this side of heaven.
Our seven days may be ending, but our prayers do not.
The finish line is closer than ever before. One day, because of God’s faithfulness and the obedience of His people, the vision of Revelation 7:9 will be fulfilled. People from every nation, every sign language, and every spoken language will have had the chance to know, in a language that speaks to their heart, that God so loved the world.
Until that day, we will continue to pray.
