There is a movement taking place that is rapidly accelerating God\u2019s plan for His Word to all nations. Local leaders even in remote areas are learning to translate the Bible into their own languages and communities.<\/span><\/p>\n For us one of the most exciting places where this is taking place is in the Philippines where around\u00a0134\u00a0languages still do not have\u00a0an Old Testament translation. Whole Word Institute Instructors Tali and Daniel Kfir travelled to the Philippines to join the Wycliffe translation work, training translators in biblical Hebrew. I invite you to read what these translators say in their own words and celebrate what God is doing through this growing movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Equipping Servants, Building Translation Capacity Through Biblical Hebrew Training<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.wycliffephilippines.org\/biblical-hebrew-training” button_text=”READ THE FULL ARTICLE FROM WYCLIFFE PHILIPPINES” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#83C4AA” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||-11px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n We are so grateful for our partnership with Wycliffe Philippines and for the faithful work they are doing with local translators and church leaders.
