LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Africa, Arise and Sing!
South Africa was recently on a knife's edge as anti-illegal migrant marches threatened to turn violent and people from neighbouring countries grew fearful of being targeted. It is easy to see people through the lens of politics, economics or nationality. Scripture invites us to see them through the eyes of God.
In Acts 17:26-27 we read that God "made all the nations" and "marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands" so that they would seek Him and find Him. Every ethnicity exists within God's sovereign purpose. Cultural diversity is part of God's good design, woven into creation and being redeemed for His glory.
I recently shared a sermon with Natanya Mpinyuri, the daughter of Beaulla from our office, as we reflected on the young servant girl in 2 Kings 5 who played a pivotal role in Naaman's healing.
We suggested that she was one of the Bible's most effective cross-cultural missionaries. Though an unnamed victim of human trafficking, she chose to bless the household of her captors. She had lost her home, her freedom and her future. Humanly speaking, she had every reason to remain silent. Instead, she said, "If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy."
Her compassion is remarkable. She looked beyond ethnicity and hostility to see someone in need of God's mercy. Although Scripture records no previous healing of leprosy through Elisha, her confidence in God's power was unwavering. Her quiet faith became the catalyst for Naaman's encounter with the living God.
It is no surprise that Jesus referred to Naaman in His first recorded sermon (Luke 4). Throughout His ministry, Jesus reminded His hearers that God's heart has always been for all nations. Throughout the Gospels, He crossed cultural boundaries with grace, welcoming Samaritans, Romans, Canaanites and Greeks, showing that His kingdom is open to all who come in faith.
This is also the heartbeat of Bible translation.
When people encounter God's Word in the language that speaks most deeply to their hearts, they discover that they matter to Him. Bible translation is far more than changing words from one language into another. It affirms that every language is worthy of carrying God's life-giving message and that every people group has a place in His story.
As communities receive Scripture, they begin to worship God through the expressions of their own culture. Languages that may once have been overlooked become treasured vehicles for God's Word. The result is a richer expression of God's kingdom.
This vision can also reshape how we see one another. God has brought the nations to our neighbourhoods, workplaces and schools. They are not interruptions to His plan but part of it. Instead of fear or suspicion, we are invited to reflect the welcome of Jesus. Like the young servant girl, we can point others to the God who heals, restores and gives hope.
The Bible ends with a vision of people from every nation and language worshipping before God's throne. Every community encountering Scripture brings us one step closer to that glorious day. In a world that too often builds walls, Bible translation brings every voice together in a beautiful anthem of praise to the God who created and loves the nations.

ARISE AND SHINE: CELEBRATING GOD'S WORK ACROSS AFRICA
By Gerhard Marx
Chairperson of the Board, Wycliffe South Africa
Gerhard Marx among other Board Chairs at the Wycliffe Global Alliance Africa Area conference, 2026
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip.
- Isaiah 60:1–4
At the Wycliffe Global Alliance Africa Area Gathering in Yaoundé, Cameroon (15–19 June 2026), leaders and partners from across the continent witnessed firsthand how God is bringing forth the good things He has promised for Africa. Centred on “Collaboration for transformation”, the gathering reflected deep humility and profound reverence for God’s greatness.
As carriers of Light and witnesses to Hope, we saw how Bible translation directly fulfils the prophetic call of Isaiah 60:1–4. When we look at the Hebrew text of Isaiah 60:1, “Arise! Shine! For your light has come,” we discover that shining is not a precondition to receive God’s light; rather, it is our natural response to the light that has already risen upon us.
During my presentation on behalf of the Whole Word Institute, as a Wycliffe partner, I highlighted how bridging the Old Testament gap, where nearly 90% of the world's languages still lack the full Hebrew Scriptures, empowers mother-tongue translators of Wycliffe organisations to engage directly with the source language. By training indigenous translators in immersive Biblical Hebrew, local leaders are equipping their own communities to move from passivity to vocation, capturing the relational heart of God's Word.
Throughout the continent, long-awaited prayers are being answered. Emphasising shared vision over transactional partnerships, a sentiment echoed by Alliance Interim Executive Director Agnes Lid, the gathering highlighted a significant shift toward local church ownership and self-sustainability. It is, indeed, a time to celebrate!
Praise God for:
- Local Leadership: A growing pool of indigenous translation consultants taking the lead on African soil.
- Stronger Ministries: Healthier governance and leadership within local agencies.
- Cultural Preservation: Transforming and preserving languages and cultures through the full narrative of Scripture.
- Innovation: The steady expansion of multimodal and oral Bible translation frameworks.
- Generosity: Local African believers and organisations generously funded 70% of this gathering’s costs.
Pray for:
- Renewed Energy: That attending leaders return home encouraged, carrying fresh ideas into their local contexts.
- Stronger Collaboration: That newly formed relationships blossom into deep, long-lasting collaborations.
- Overcoming Obstacles: That spiritual and logistical barriers are levelled as we continue bringing God’s transforming Word to His people.
The challenge for every African believer today is clear: “How will we respond to the Lord's call in our generation?” Thank you for standing alongside Wycliffe South Africa as our continent arises and celebrates!
WHEN THE BIBLE STARTED TO MAKE SENSE: SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT IN NAMIBIA
By Helen van der Walt
Himba Scripture Engagement Training in Namibia, 2026
Namibia is a remote place with very few people and a lot of dust. But spread across the northern areas of Opuwo are the Himba, living alongside many other people groups. Known for their red skin and hair, many in this nomadic language group are committed to traditional ways. Among them are a group of Christians, eager to hear God’s word and to find a cultural Christian identity in Christ.
For 10 years, the Himba translation team has done Oral Bible Translation, completing books like Genesis, Exodus, Mark, Acts, Romans and Hebrews. For a couple of years now, they have added transcription. But what about engaging with the Bible?
In early July, I was able to do some Scripture Engagement training with the team. At first, they were sceptical. But over the 4 days, the team discussed and explored many topics that would help them see transformation among their people. They are eager to pursue more training that is relevant for their community. Watjanga, the project coordinator, said,
“We started slow, and I thought, ‘What is this training?’ But then we learnt many things and I realised that, in our work, we have missed so much.”
I really enjoyed teaching this group, as they were ready with questions and amazing insight. We were able to cover topics in much more depth than I usually would. My favourite moment was when I started teaching the theology of creativity, and one of the translators and local storytellers, Wakatara, responded with wisdom about things we would be covering later that day. This is a topic that most groups have never considered before.
Another highlight was the listening group training. We spent the first day with the local Pastors Forum and learned how to facilitate a listening group. The response was incredibly encouraging, with many saying the training had come at the perfect time. The listening group method is proving to be extremely helpful for pastors, both as they plan to teach in their churches and as they support their congregations while they listen to Scripture at home. There is potential for many listening groups to start in different areas.
"When we preach, we just speak, and you don't know if people understand or misunderstand. But when you do the story with action and drama, you can see when people don't understand and you can repeat. It's really helpful for all people to understand the Bible." - Watjanga, Project Coordinator and Pastor
"Before this Scripture Engagement, I didn't really understand the Bible. But now I can see the Bible differently, and it is starting to make sense." - Margreth, IT
"I would rather join a listening group than sit through a preach." - Margreth, IT
"I just told the story of Jonah 1 to start a listening group using gestures and actions. I realised that when we preach, we only give bread and butter. First, the gestures helped me to remember and understand the story. But also, everyone could follow the story and wanted to know what comes next. This is proper expository preaching." - Edwin, Himba Exegete and Pastor
"Every story in the Bible is connected!! It's amazing!" - Deon, Translator
Please pray for the team as they continue to translate and share the Scriptures with their people. Please also pray for the Himba as they explore the issue of language status, which is a big one for the community. Using Herero and English comes with a higher status and assumption of education, whereas use of Himba or "deep Himba" comes with jokes and humiliation. The team is working to prepare the ground for the Scriptures to come in Himba, and raise the status of the culture and language.
CELEBRATING A MILESTONE: EVERY LANGUAGE EQUIPPED
by Helen van der Walt
Marrevoni Scripture Engagement Training, May 2026
As of July 2026, all 24 language groups that Wycliffe SA partners with have been through the “Introduction to Scripture Engagement” training! This is a huge milestone that has been completed over 3 years. There have been amazing responses of appreciation, and the ripple effects in different communities are mind-blowing. God is at work.
Nearly all groups have adopted Listening Groups as an oral method of learning and exploring biblical stories. Every month we hear testimonies of God working in people's lives through His word and through these groups. There is incredible transformation happening within individuals and across whole communities, with changed lives bringing impact to others. The Siphuthi team in Lesotho have adopted this method for women by starting “Women on Fire” groups for women dealing with domestic abuse and gender-based violence.
"These listening groups will be good for us, especially the women. They often say, "We can't read, the Bible isn't for us, only the men". But now the Bible is for them too!" - Koti team
“The story of the temptation of Jesus was used in an illustrative way so that people could understand, because it was the ideal way to make people perceive and contextualise the subject.”
- Holo team
“I have been in the church for 7 years. I was not listening to anything that was said; I remained without believing that there will be hell and paradise after death, but after listening to the book of Luke 16 that talks about ‘the parable of the rich man and Lazarus ’, my spiritual life has now changed.” - Celia, 26 years (Marrevoni)
Farming God’s Way is another popular method of Scripture Engagement. Many in South Africa, Lesotho and Mozambique have benefited from this programme, with many more in Angola and Mozambique asking for it. The biggest story is that of the Marenje, who completed the training in Nov 2025. The farms are now thriving, with participants sharing the training with others and aiming to take the training to other groups in Mozambique. The facilitator, Pastor Dickson from Malawi, said,
“I am so thrilled and so energised to have done the follow-up in Mozambique and all went so well… I got so much encouraged by the hunger and passion… we are committed to walk with the farmers the next four years to make sure they all know more about Farming God's Way and to identify and walk alongside the leaders to become good trainers of Farming God’s Way within the region.”
In general, Scripture Engagement across southern Africa includes:
- Audio Bibles
- Bible apps
- Printed Scripture booklets
- Translation team branding, websites and awareness
- Building partnerships and community ownership
- Increasing language status
- Listening groups
- Farming God’s Way
- LUMO Gospel films
- Radio programmes and TV appearances
- Dedications and Run for the Bibleless events
- Christian counselling
- Scripture-based songs
- Resource development (storybooks, picture books, songbooks, and other resources)
MOZAMBICAN MOSAICS: A JOURNEY TO REMEMBER
By Alan Webster
Cyclists ready for the Marenje Run for the Bibleless, 2026
Some journeys leave tracks on the ground. Others leave an imprint on the heart.
A recent visit to Mozambique was one of those journeys. While our team travelled to encourage Bible translation partners, they soon discovered they were the ones being encouraged. Amid dusty roads, long distances and unexpected challenges, they encountered communities whose greatest treasure is an unshakeable faith in Jesus and an overwhelming joy in receiving God's Word in the language of their hearts.
From 27 June, Hennie and Rina Blomerus, together with Carol van Heerden (Finance, Member Care and Field Coordination), joined Bia Jeronimo of The Seed Company to visit Bible translation programmes across Mozambique. The journey was anything but straightforward. Flight delays, rough roads, closed regional borders and even a fuel shortage threatened to disrupt the itinerary. Yet every obstacle became a prayer request, and every answered prayer a fresh reminder of God's faithful provision.
Wherever they travelled, they found people eager to hear and engage with Scripture. Translation teams spoke of lives transformed, hope restored and communities strengthened through God's Word. In several areas, local leaders and government officials have welcomed the translated Scriptures, recognising their positive impact on families and society.
Every visit became a celebration. Communities greeted the team with singing, dancing, Bible stories and joyful worship. The unmistakable presence of God was evident as people shared what it means to encounter Jesus through Scripture they can truly understand.
One unforgettable highlight was the Run for the Bibleless, organised by the Marenje translation team. More than 2,000 people participated in bicycle races, fun runs and a community march celebrating the gift of God's Word. One participant shared:
"Before we heard God's Word in Marenje, we thought God had abandoned us. But when our leaders translated His Word, we realised He has never abandoned us. Now we can sing our songs and hear God's Word in our mother tongue. Thank you so much!"
The team was also grateful to spend time with colleagues Jadreque, André Raul, Benedict and Isabel, as well as dear friends Boni and Busie Paulo. Their faithful ministry is bearing lasting fruit as more Mozambicans encounter Christ through Scripture.
Like intricate mosaics, God is taking broken pieces—of lives, communities and even a nation marked by hardship—and fitting them together into something beautiful. Across Mozambique, each translated verse, each song of worship and each transformed life adds another piece to the picture of His redeeming love.
Below are some videos of the trip.

JOIN US IN SERVING GOD'S WORD THROUGH BIBLICAL HEBREW
Part 1: Our Journey into Biblical Hebrew and Bible Translation
By Anthony & Steffie Prins
We are Anthony and Steffie Prins, a couple who love the Lord deeply and whose hearts are set on being a gift to the body of Christ. For many years, our lives have been intertwined with the church, serving in youth and children’s ministry, leading in music ministry, and investing in community work. These spaces have shaped us, stretched us, and given us a front-row seat to God’s transforming power in people’s lives.
Alongside ministry, we both built careers in the corporate world. Yet less than two years ago, we sensed the Lord calling us to create more capacity and time for His kingdom work. Stepping out of the corporate space was not easy, but it opened a door we could never have imagined: the world of Bible Translation.
Our first step into this calling was through the Kaaps Old Testament Bible Translation project. This initiative is close to our hearts because it allows the Word of God to reach our own people in their own language. It is a project that breaks barriers, bringing Scripture into spaces where it could not enter before.
Now, the Lord is leading us further. Through Wycliffe SA we are joining a Biblical Hebrew training programme in Jerusalem, where we will spend 15 months immersed in the language of Scripture. This training is not just for us; it is preparation to serve Bible translation projects across the world. Through this, we will help other language groups translate the Word faithfully and accurately, ensuring that communities who have never had the Bible in their own language will finally hear God’s voice in words they understand.
This journey is bigger than us. It is God’s mission, His purpose, and we are humbled to play a part in it. We invite you to walk with us through prayer, encouragement, and financial support as we step into this season of preparation. Together, we can help make Scripture accessible to more people, in more languages, than ever before.
With love,
Anthony & Steffie Prins
By Sizukiwe Vimbani
If I were to choose a scripture that aptly describes my journey to pursuing Biblical Hebrew studies, it would be Proverbs 16:9:
A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
My name is Sizukiwe Vimbani. A young lady whose life is surrendered to the Lord’s leading and direction.
The Church has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a very early age, I sensed that the Lord was calling me into ministry. For many years, I believed that this calling would be expressed primarily through music ministry, as this is an area in which God has spoken to me so clearly.
Over time, however, the Lord began to reveal that He has equipped me in more ways than I have imagined and is calling me to serve Him and His Church in more than one way. As He opened these doors, I chose to trust His leading, say "yes" to His call, and yield to the plans He has prepared for me.
In 2023, after a season of unemployment, I joined Wycliffe South Africa as the Field Coordinator for the Anglophone hub, serving South Africa, Namibia, and Lesotho. In this role, I have the privilege of supporting Bible translation teams working in various language communities. I serve as a link between translators and the wider organisation, providing encouragement, coordinating logistics, visiting projects, and helping address the needs and concerns of these communities.
I also serve as the administrator for the Psalms That Sing project. Through these roles, my eyes have been opened to the incredible work God is doing through Bible translation and the impact of making Scripture accessible in people's heart languages. Through this ministry, I was introduced to the study of Biblical Hebrew.
Today, I have been given an incredible opportunity to spend 15 months in Jerusalem studying Biblical Hebrew. This training will equip me to return and serve as an instructor, helping support Bible translation work across many language communities. The study of Biblical Hebrew is an important part of the translation process, helping translators to work directly from the original biblical text and contribute to greater accuracy and faithfulness in translation.
As I prepare for this next season, I am reminded that ministry is never a solo journey. Just as Scripture teaches that we are all members of one body, each person plays a unique role in God's mission. Some are called to go, others to send, encourage, pray, and support. Together, we participate in the work God is accomplishing among the nations.
I would therefore like to invite you to partner with me in two important ways:
Firstly, through prayer. Please pray for wisdom, growth, provision, good health, and for the Lord to use this season of study to strengthen Bible translation efforts for years to come.
Secondly, through financial support. Your contribution will help cover the costs associated with my studies and stay in Jerusalem, thus allowing me to fully engage in this training and return better equipped to serve Bible translation projects across Africa.
Thank you for considering being part of this journey. Whether through prayer, financial support, or words of encouragement, your partnership is a valuable part of what God is doing. May all of it be for the advancement of His Kingdom and, above all, for His glory.
Would you like to support Anthony, Steffie, and Sizukiwe? Please contact us at
Mesuli Tshele to take up a new role at The Almond Tree
It is with sadness that Wycliffe SA will say farewell to Mesuli Tshele at the end of August. Mesuli has been serving as the Resource Mobilisation & Advocacy Coordinator since August 2023, helping to shape and give structure to the Resource Mobilisation department. Together with Busani Mcingolwane, they have been the interface between the organisation and those who support us financially and with their resources. Mesuli writes:
“I believe God is calling me into a new season. I have accepted the Chief Development Officer position at The Almond Tree Children’s Village, an organisation whose cause is very close to my heart – close enough that I have had the privilege of serving as chairman of its board for close to five years. After months of discussion, reflection, and prayer, I have come to feel with growing certainty that this is a step the Lord has ordered for me.
Leaving Wycliffe SA is genuinely bittersweet. This organisation and this team will always hold a special place in my life, and I do not make this decision to move on lightly. Thank you for three wonderful years. I leave Wycliffe SA with immense gratitude, and I will continue to hold this ministry and its mission in my prayers.”

Tom & Linda (3rd and 2nd from right) stand with our Board members and Resource Mobilisers at the Advocacy training held at Maranatha Community Church
In July, Seed Company consultants Tom Kemner (USA) and Linda Mwania (Kenya) led our Board through advocacy training while also investing time in strengthening our resource mobilisation efforts. Drawing on many years of experience and expertise, they shared practical insights and valuable tools that are helping to move our vision forward. The Board training was held at the newly opened Maranatha Community Church in Kempton Park. We are grateful for partners like The Seed Company, whose investment helps Bible translation organisations grow in resilience and strengthen healthy, sustainable practices.
Facilitators and graduates of the recent Kairos Course in Primrose
Our Executive Director, Alan Webster, joined a team of facilitators to lead participants through Simply Mobilising’s excellent Kairos Course. The nine-session course was presented over three weekends at Members in Christ Church, Primrose, and hosted by Ps Arnold Venter. Among the nine graduates were two Wycliffe South Africa staff members, Tshegofalo Siele and Busani Mcingolwane, who greatly valued the insights they gained. Five graduates, including Busani, went on to complete Facilitator Training, and we look forward to seeing the next Kairos Course held in our area.
Rev Janco Mocke, Mike Barry & Colin Marais met with Busani and Alan
Collaboration is essential to effective ministry. On 23 June, Alan and Busani met with several leaders from St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Benoni, to explore opportunities for working together. One promising possibility that has emerged is translation work in Zimbabwe. An initial meeting has already taken place, giving Colin Marais the opportunity to observe the early stages of the translation process. We value partnering with the local church and are always looking for ways to serve together. Please get in touch with us—we would love to meet with you and explore opportunities for collaboration.
All the women who took part in the 2026 Ruth Retreat
We were delighted to welcome Yulia Notkina and Bron Cleaver from Russia, who visited us to train several of our team members to facilitate the Ruth Women's Retreat. Following the training, they partnered with our newly equipped facilitators to lead a weekend retreat for a group of women from 24–27 July.
Using Scripture Engagement methods often used in Bible translation—including drama, drawing, and storytelling—the retreat invited women to journey through the book of Ruth while creating space to reflect on trauma, restoration, and hope. It was a precious weekend marked by honest sharing, tears, laughter, and learning as women encountered God's presence and experienced His healing in meaningful ways.
We are excited to begin offering this retreat to churches and prayerfully hope it will become an annual event. Lord willing, we also trust that it will reach beyond Johannesburg, bringing the hope and healing found in Christ to women in many more communities.
Do you have a Bible at your house? I hope that the Bibles at your house do not have dust on them like the Bible in this picture. That is what it is like for some people. They have a Bible, but they never read it or even touch it and take it off the shelf. Sometimes people have a bible, or even a few Bibles in their house, but those Bibles have never made any difference in their lives. The Word of God cannot change their hearts and their lives because they never read it or hear it or understand it. It is a nice book, but it is just a book.
Wycliffe works hard to get Bibles into people’s houses, but it is no use if people never actually get to know God’s Word. God’s Word is a life changer! But it needs to touch people’s lives to make any changes.
I’m sure that you know lots of children who do not know much about God at all. They might even have a Bible, but they don’t know much about Jesus. But they probably could tell you that He was born in a stable and that angels and shepherds and wise men were around. I wonder if you can think of why they know that part? I am sure that they have probably seen pictures of a stable with Jesus in the manger - maybe on a Christmas card or a decoration. They have probably heard Christmas songs like Away in a Manger in shops. They might have seen or been in a Christmas play where children dress up in gowns, with towels on their heads, or even with sparkly angel wings and tinsel in their hair. They know that Bible story because people have used all sorts of ways to share that story with everyone.
The people at Wycliffe know that giving people a Bible is not enough to make sure people hear and understand the truth of the Bible and for their lives to be changed. So, they use different ways to make the Bible part of their everyday lives. They use stories, drama, songs, art, games and other creative activities to help people know what the Bible says and understand it better.
These ways help people discover who God is, what He teaches us, and how we can live His way every day.
They don’t just want people to hear stories from the Bible, though. Wycliffe want people to hear God’s Word and then think about:
“What does this teach us about God?”
“What does this mean for my life?”
“How can I put it into practice?”
The Bible can help us with things we face every day — how we treat other people, how we care for those who are hurting, how we forgive, how we work together, and how we look after the world God has given us. When people hear God’s Word, understand it and live it out, it can change their hearts, their choices, their families and even their whole communities.
Hearing and understanding God’s Word so that it can change them and be a part of their actual life is not just something that people in faraway places need help with. I am sure that there are lots of people at your school, in your sports team and maybe even in your family that need help with that. I wonder if you can think of some ways that you can help those people to hear God’s Word, to understand it and to let it change their lives. There are a few ideas that have popped into my head- some of them you can do by yourself; others you could maybe chat with your family or church and see if you could do as a group. Some of my ideas:
- Share Bible verses on your WhatsApp or social media pages
- Write Bible verses in cards or messages that you send to people
- Draw pictures of Bible stories and write about what you learned about God from that story and give it to someone - maybe even your neighbour, or someone at a shop
- Sing a song, say a poem, tell a story or do a little drama about God’s truth in a group or by yourself at a talent show, an eisteddfod, or even at a party or family event
- Make food parcels and write little notes or draw pictures of Bible verses to give away with the parcels
- Invite friends to come to your church or Kids Church and hear God’s Word preached to them
The biggest one of all, I think, is by living our lives with love, joy, peace and kindness so that people see how God is, by watching us. This really can connect people to Scripture as they see how we win, lose, care, obey, tell the truth and show respect because of the way Jesus has changed us.
I would LOVE to hear what you have done. It would be great if I could tell other boys and girls about what you have done in our next newsletter. Send me an email
Love Gill
