Bible Storytelling (Easter 2020)

Over the Easter period we have been following the story of Jesus through Matthew, as he makes his way to the cross and then to ressurection! 40 days later, the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early Church. God is intimately involved in our lives, the source of salvation, "the initiator and perfector of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2), and He continues to be with us today.   Find the series (and more) on our YouTube channel or follow the Easter stories below: 1) Matthew 21:1-11 2) Matthew 26:17-30 3) Matthew 26:36-46 4) Matthew 26:47-56 5) Matthew 27:11-26 6) Matthew 27:35-46; 51-54 7) Matthew 28:1-20 PENTECOST: Acts 2.1-14

Giving the gift of truth

As the year draws to a close, it is the opportune time to reflect on the year gone by, and to be thankful for everything that God has blessed us with. Many will participate in the gift buying frenzy that hits shopping centres everywhere, but there is a gift one can give that cannot be bought at a store.

It is God’s call, not our call

Bonifacio Paulo thought he was following the call of God to become a priest, but a chance meeting took him in a different direction towards Bible translation, as God showed him how life-changing it is to hear the Word of God in your own heart language.

My Heart's Desire

Diane Lovell is an Australian serving as a Bible translation consultant-in-training in Southern Africa with The Seed Company, a Wycliffe Global Alliance partner organisation. Diane shares how God provided her a way to continue in her work after having a baby girl while balancing it with the responsibilities of being a new mother.

Now is the time for the Deaf in South Africa

In South Africa more than 600,000 Deaf people use South African Sign Language. Although specific numbers are difficult to identify, by the best accounts there are hundreds of sign languages around the world, used by as many as 70 million people. However, only one sign language has a New Testament, and no Scriptures exist in the vast majority of these languages. In 2013 a team formed to begin work on a Bible translation for this community.

News travels fast in an oral culture

Bible storying taps into the lifeblood of an oral culture, and the stories travel surprisingly fast. Southern Africans living in remote areas, including many San people, have embraced the mobile phone as a perfect method for doing what oral cultures love: sharing stories.
