“Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you” (2 Thessalonians 3:1, NLT).
A new edition of The Finish Line is now available online and in print. The annual publication, produced by Wycliffe USA’s Prayer Ministries and IMC* departments, lists translation projects around the world that are nearing completion—those that are within three years or less of finishing. This is often when translation teams are faced with significant challenges and sometimes setbacks leading up to the completion of a Bible translation. We know that Satan will do everything he can to stop the spread of God’s Word, but we also know that we are called to rally on the battlefield of prayer.
- Pray that God will use The Finish Line to inspire prayer for Bible translation throughout the year.
- Ask God to use these prayers to send spiritual encouragement and protection to the featured translation teams, further supporting them to go the distance and finish the task through His power.
