Wycliffe staffers to bike cross country in fund-raiser for Bible translation efforts

Two staff members with Wycliffe Bible Translators will set out next week for a cross-country bicycle tour as part of an effort to raise awareness for the need of Bible translation.Vision 2025 is an initiative by Wycliffe Bible Translators to have a Bible translation program in place in every language by the year 2025. To help promote the effort, two staff members will leave from Los Angeles next Wednesday and ride, along with five other bicyclists, to Lynchburg, Virginia.In an interview with Mission Network News, Doug Haag said the ministry will partner with an organization called Faith Comes by Hearing. The organization records and dramatizes audio versions of the New Testaments that are translated by Wycliffe."Their passion is to see it in audio form, in a way that's professional quality that would have immediate impact on these oral cultures," says Haag. "So you not only have it written down and available and accessible that way, but for these people groups to have it in this audio form as well."Haag says that more than 50 percent of the world's population would choose to hear the Bible instead of reading it. He says that is because in many societies around the world, people learn best by sharing stories.The money raised from the bicycle tour will be used to make translated Scripture accessible to two people groups in Guatemala.
