Silk Road Ascent (SRA) is a Bible translation, Scripture engagement, multilingual education and capacity-building effort in several countries located in a sensitive area of West Asia. Wycliffe is currently focusing on three language projects with far-reaching impact, in addition to a training program serving multiple languages.
This region has long been thought to be impregnable both to Christian witness and to community development. With little or no visible church to partner with in most languages communities, Christian workers struggle to make notable progress in the face of widespread poverty and religious intolerance.
A variety of partners serve together to further Bible translation, multilingual education, and language development. Dedicated expatriate staff members are multiplying their efforts through partnership with local people, in the hope that even as expat leadership decreases, local ownership of Bible translation will ultimately increase. Local people are being trained and mentored in language development theory and practice, resulting in a core group of local experts and consultants who are equipped to carry out Bible translation and literacy work in a sustainable way for up to 70 languages.
Due to the sensitivity of the region this project is located in, please contact development@wycliffe.ca for the latest updates on this project.
