*Wycliffe’s prayer focus:*
*Azeri Sign Language Project in Azerbaijan *
In Azerbaijan, where more than 85% of people follow another religion, God is bringing His Word to life for the Deaf community! The Azeri Sign Language project, in its second phase since 2023, is translating the Bible into sign language and inspiring similar initiatives around the world as their efforts are also addressing the low literacy among the 30,000 Azerbaijani Deaf.
Pastor Israil, a translation team member, shared, “I have always been the ‘book’ for people here. I was the only Bible they could ‘read’!” Now that’s changing, with five books completed and 20 more being translated into video format.
Please pray for:
– Open doors and provision for Deaf individuals who wish to join the translation team, enabling them to overcome the barriers they encounter. – Continued unity, strength and resources for the team to effectively bring God’s Word to as many people as possible.
Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you. — 2 Thessalonians 3:1b (NLT) ==============================================
