· Scripture exists in 2,804 of the world’s 6,874 languages (last year: 2,696 of 6,837).
· Wycliffe organizations have assisted in the translation of 826 New Testaments and 35 complete Bibles in 795 languages (last year: 781 NT, 27 B, 749 languages).
· 239 million people, speaking 2,026 languages, still have no Scripture at all (last year: 350 million people speaking 2,040 languages)

A very, very worthy work. A good reminder for us for prayer for workers and the Lord's assistance in all of the work, and in the hearts of all who receive the Word!

Hey Ruth
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping up so faithfully with your blog. It's a blessing and encouragement to hear what you're doing! It certainly helps me focus on the point of university instead of getting dragged down by the continuity of it!
I'm doing a paper right now that is related to SIL and I was wondering where you got these statistics from - I'd love to check out the original source.
Thanks!
