Every Tongue

On Pentecost Sunday, during the International Day for the Unreached we prayed for the three billion people who still have not heard the good news about Christ. Today, let’s narrow that focus to the 1.5 billion people (mainly in Asia) who are cut off from the gospel because they have no way to hear it yet in their heart language. Revelation 7:9-10.

Of the 6,658 languages that still have no Bible, 3,736 have no Scripture portions at all.

These maps below track Wycliffe Bible Translators‘ vision to have a translation program in progress in every language (1,216) still needing one by the year 2025.

Lord, we cry out to You today for the 1.5 billion people who still have no Bible in their heart language. Awaken their hearts and call them to Yourself. Meet them in their dreams and speak to them clearly throughout the day. Make a way for them to hear Your truth such that they will easily understand. Give them a hunger and thirst for You so great they will seek You far and wide until they find You. Awaken them to Your truth and love. Become the talk of the town in the market places. Draw seekers into those places where they will hear Your Good News and then take it back to their villages. Even if they hear it in another language not their own, open their ears to understand, their eyes to see You, and their hearts to believe in You. So many times in history You have prophesied to a hidden people, and then fulfilled that prophecy so powerfully that whole tribes have turned to You. Do it again, Lord. Now. In our time. As the end draws near. Tear down every language barrier now, Lord, and draw all peoples to Yourself. Make a way for Your Word to be translated into every language across this earth. Raise up Christians with a heart for that people group who will learn their language and live among them, translating Scripture, sharing Your truth, and living out Your love so powerfully that a church planting movement will begin among them. Prepare even now the persons of peace from every language who will receive Your good news with joy and influence others to believe in You, as well. Don’t leave a single person anywhere on this globe without access to Your Word in their heart language. May Your kingdom come, and may every tribe, tongue and language bow at Your throne in worship.

Mikaela Vincent and her husband have been helping with Bible translation for an unreached language in a country where Christians are heavily persecuted. They had to flee and leave everything behind because of security issues, but continue to trust in God to provide for their needs as they pray for and share Christ with the nations.
