With all the insecurity in the news around us, it’s encouraging to see how God is using The Seed Company to bring His Word to so many. He graciously invites us to be used to touch the lives of unreached people. We humbly serve in this mission and celebrate the impact of God’s Word. Highlights from our praises in 2008 are listed below.
- We celebrate the start of Bible translation in partnership with others in 68 languages in 2008 (compared to 18 languages the prior year) – that represents a Bible translation start almost every 5 days in 2008, bringing the total number of languages impacted to over 500.
- Because of Bible translation efforts going on right now through The Seed Company, in the months and years ahead, an estimated 415 million people will have God’s Word in their heart language for the first time.
- We are thankful for the sacrificial giving of our investors, who are key partners in helping us accomplish the mission God has called us to. In 2008, investors contributed almost $10 million to The Seed Company Bible translation efforts – that represents 29% growth over the previous year.
