April 2, 2020 A Work of Faith By Wycliffe Canada Back to all stories Sean and Lezlie Allison know that everything works in God’s timing. Both had wanted to serve in missions from an early age and threw themselves into the pursuit wholeheartedly through short-term trips and linguistics studies. When Sean and Lezlie met in graduate school, everything seemed to fall into place. After a whirlwind courtship and marriage, they found themselves heading to West Africa with two babies in tow. When asked where they wanted to serve, Sean and Lezlie told their director they were open to working anywhere as long as it wasn’t in an environment with extreme heat combined with little water. So the couple visited three different people groups: one who lived in the mountains, one who lived on the coast and one located in a dry, arid region. Out of the three groups, the desert people group was the only one without churches or Bible translation projects. On the first night of their visit to the desert region, Lezlie started crying. When Sean asked what was wrong, she shared her reservations about living in such a harsh, isolated environment. Then she said, “But I believe God is calling us here.” “We needed to be open to God’s leading,” Sean reflected. “We realized that if no one went to the [desert location], translation would never be done, because of the majority religion of the area.” “It was like God was saying, ‘This is what I’d like you to do. Even if it’s hard, even if it’s lonely, just trust me,’” Sean said. Changed Plans For nine years, Sean and Lezlie lived among this people group, learning the language and culture. Eventually they started translation, working with a co-translator who followed the majority religion but was willing to be involved in translation work. In 2006, Sean was asked to get a PhD in linguistics to help further translation work in other projects as well. As he came to the end of the doctorate in 2011, civil unrest broke out in the language area where they had been working, preventing them from returning to the area. They haven’t been able to go back to the language area since. But that hasn’t stopped the Canadian couple from supporting Bible translation work. Sean and Lezlie currently serve on the faculty of Wycliffe Canada’s training partner, the Canada Institute of Linguistics. Additionally, Sean travels to West Africa every year to work with his co‑translator. They meet in a neighbouring country and have slowly been making progress on the translation work. They have finished drafting and recording the Gospel of Mark and are now halfway through Genesis. “I play the recorded translations for a speaker of the language who has become a Christian,” says Sean, “so he can give input on them. He would like to reach out to his own people, but he can’t go back either. “When he became a Christian, [the majority religion leaders] took away his wife and kids. It’s been a struggle for him too. But he trusts that at some point, he can go back and serve in his own area.” “His reaction [to the translation] is always amazing, because he’s hearing God’s Word in his own language. He says, ‘The first time I hear it [in my own language], I understand it right away, rather than when I hear it in [a majority language of the area]!’” Creative Methods Sean and Lezlie are working hard to develop creative, innovative methods to reach people in West Africa with the translated Scriptures.They are experimenting with oral translation methods, via computers and online resources which allow Christians with less formal education to get involved. For example, they are developing online audio recordings where the voices of the speakers are modified so they won’t be persecuted by members of the majority religion. Additionally they’re working on projects like an online transition primer so language community members can transition from reading French to reading their own language. “It’s interactive,” says Sean. “They can input an answer [and] get feedback, and it helps me see if there are any issues that need to be addressed with the proposed system of writing.” Sean and Lezlie hope the primer provides them with the ability to connect with local speakers of the language who may be willing to work on translations or test the translation work in the future. Sean and Lezlie are also experimenting with Scripture apps that link audio recordings with written translations to facilitate more checking and exposure. “It’s not the traditional approach,” says Sean. “But we are always looking for ways to move forward. In language projects like ours, it is a challenge and we just need to rely on the Lord and believe that He desires to bring these people to himself more than we do. So we leave it in His hands.” “We felt the Lord’s leading very strongly [when we went] to [West Africa],” adds Lezlie. “And while we were there, we saw His tender care for us. Now when it feels like things aren’t moving along according to our timing, we have great confidence that God has something good for this people group. “One day when a church is formed among them, they will have God’s Word to help them grow and be discipled. It’s a work of faith.” Source: wycliffe.org Visit the Allisons’ profile page Posted in People Previous Next

October 10, 2018 1,000th Translation: Keliko New Testament By Samuel Ko Back to all stories This past August, the Keliko people of South Sudan celebrated a momentous milestone: after 20 years of perseverance through the hardships of civil war and displacement, the Keliko translation team has completed their translation of the New Testament. SIL International, a partner of the Wycliffe Global Alliance (WGA) in the Bible translation movement, celebrated a milestone of its own: the Keliko translation is the 1,000th New Testament to be completed with SIL involvement. For the Keliko translation, SIL partnered with WGA organizations that included Wycliffe Sweden, Wycliffe Netherlands, Wycliffe UK, and Wycliffe USA. The Keliko New Testament dedication took place on Aug.11, 2018 in northern Uganda, where members of the translation team fled when war broke out in their homeland. For some 70,000 Keliko speakers from South Sudan, many of whom now live as refugees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, the ability to access God’s Word in their own language is finally a reality. A newly signed peace agreement has begun to raise hopes of returning home. The peace of God’s Word promises an even greater hope: the transformation of Keliko lives through a direct encounter with God through His written Word in their heart language.

October 21, 2019 It Will Not Return Empty By Samuel Ko Back to all stories . . . My word that goes out from my mouth . . . will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:11, NIV). A group of subversives burnt down Steve and Jolene Smith’s* house in a village of the language group they worked with, after the couple had been evacuated. How can God bring something good out of this? they wondered. What would be the future of their decades-long project? Two years later, Steve and Jolene received a long-distance telephone call from a man named Ricardo*. He revealed that he had led the subversives in looting and burning down their home. Remarkably, Ricardo had found a Bible that survived the fire and slipped it into his pocket. Later, he read it. Tears welled in Steve’s eyes as he listened to Ricardo’s story. Ricardo explained that God used the Scriptures to change his life. He had received Jesus as Saviour. He then asked Steve for forgiveness for helping the subversives in their destructive act. Later, Ricardo attended seminary and went on to become one of the main translators in the language group. He made a significant contribution to revising the rough draft translation of the New Testament and finishing it. A home destroyed . . . everything burned . . . a Bible translation ministry up in flames . . . Scriptures untouched . . . the power of God’s Word . . . a soul saved for eternity . . . a worker provided to help his own people get Scriptures in their heart language. God promises in Isaiah 55: 11 that His Word will not return void. He uses it to accomplish what He desires when He sends it. This is true in a rebel’s life like Ricardo. It is true for his entire language group. It is true wherever Scriptures can be understood, accepted and applied in the heart language. It is true in your life too! *Pseudonyms used due to sensitivity Photo courtesy of Stephen Radford, Unsplash Posted in Impact Previous Next

May 7, 2021 In all things By Ruth Richert Back to all stories How God chose a troubled Québécois youth to serve in Bible translation. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose ” (Rom. 8:28, NIV) “Is there any possibility you would consider looking after me until I’m old enough to look after myself?” This was the question nine-year-old Yves Léonard asked God as he ran away from his fifth foster home. After being ridiculed by his foster family earlier that day, his feelings of loneliness overflowed, and he simply opened the door and left. As he travelled the long road from his home in Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains towards Montreal, his mind became clear, and he began discussing his situation with God. “As I was talking to God, I felt a great peace come upon me, replacing all my fears. Though I didn’t hear an answer, I felt absolute confidence that He would look after me.” Yves turned around and began walking back to his foster home. His foster parents were furious with him, but Yves’ peace remained. “I was no longer feeling alone, as I had met Someone on the road.” Friends Point the Way The trajectory of Yves’ childhood didn’t magically change course after he encountered God on the road to Montreal. He lived in many more foster homes, and spent some tumultuous years as a teenager living with his alcoholic father. While the pathos of his childhood is striking, what stands out to Yves is the constant thread of God’s love and calling on his life. Yves, left, with his older brother Denis. Denis passed away in 2019 in a Quebec men’s shelter. “The isolation and loneliness created by my frequent moves became forces inviting me to turn to God.” In 1982, Yves made his way to Calgary and began—by necessity—working to improve his English language skills. Before long, he met some Christians around his age who invited him to a coffeehouse at a downtown church. God used those friendships to draw Yves to Christ and just a few months later, he began attending classes at a local Bible college. During his time in Bible school, a presentation about Wycliffe caught Yves’ attention. So did a fellow student named Christine, who shared his growing interest in Bible translation. They were married in 1988 and in 1994, they accepted an assignment with SIL, Wycliffe’s key field partner, to serve in Cameroon, Africa. Tentative Steps As the Léonards prayed about which language group to serve, they grew increasingly curious about the Baka people. The Baka, also known as Pygmies, are a semi-nomadic, preliterate people group living in small settlements and temporary forest camps in the Congo Basin of Central Africa. The area is lush and filled with rivers and wildlife. When Yves and Christine became convinced that this was where God was calling them, their first hurdle was convincing their language assignment committee to allow them to move with their three small daughters to the jungle. Once that was cleared, they had to find a Baka settlement where they could build a home—no easy task when a group can move camp at seemingly any time. Yves began driving to different settlements, hoping to make connections, but at times, the mere sight of his face was enough to scare people away. “Many Baka had never seen white people, and when our vehicle would near their village, they would run into the forest or hide in their homes,” he says. After months of perseverance, the people in a village called Ndjibot showed interest. On his third visit there, Yves asked village elders to gather, and through an interpreter, explained the idea of the Bible translation project. They responded enthusiastically until Yves mentioned that he was still considering other locations—then, their enthusiasm abruptly shifted into a loud torrent of words. Anxiously, Yves prayed as he waited for the interpreter to translate. “They acknowledge that it is Komba (God) who is bringing you here. They are all agreeing among themselves. They want you to know that Ndjibot is now your home. It is no longer right for you to go visit other villages.” As relief flooded Yves’ heart, the elders led him to a small hill that had just been cleared. It was their best land, and it would be the site of the Léonards’ new home. Listening and Learning The Léonard family settled in the village in 1996, and Yves began his translation work by simply listening to and observing the Baka. He tried not to impose his own ideas or values on them. “I spent a lot of time sitting at their feet learning, listening to them and learning their culture and language,” he says. He also learned how they hunted and ate bush meat. “I know it sounds terrible to say that today with all the emphasis on wildlife conservation, but bush meat regularly appeared on our supper table,” he says, laughing. “They loved and appreciated Yves so much,” says Christine, “because they really sensed how much he respected them and their culture, especially when surrounding people groups looked down on them.” Yves’ childhood experiences in many different homes prepared him to embrace a new culture and love those who are marginalized. “This is what I had to do when I moved from one home to another,” says Yves. “I had to observe and adapt.” New Perspective As Yves spent time with his new community, it became clear to him that he needed to adjust his expectations about the translation project. Prior to moving to Ndjibot, he and Christine had planned to follow a traditional method of translation: develop an orthography (writing system), translate the Scripture, and teach the Baka to read. “Before I went to the field,” Yves recalls, “we were doing presentations to churches to raise support. And we were telling the people that unless Scriptures are written down, their meaning will easily be lost. You know, a very Western perspective on oral traditions. Dr. Mom. Although there was a local clinic nearby, Christine regularly treated a variety of ailments, like this girl’s ulcerated machete wound. However, through the time he spent befriending and observing their Baka neighbours, Yves came to see how elaborate and consistent their oral traditions were. A flight in a bush plane provided the pivotal “Aha!” moment for him. The pilot that flew the Léonards’ SIL directors to Ndjibot for a visit offered to take a few of Yves’ Baka friends for a short flight. Several of them had never travelled in a car, let alone in an airplane, and the experience was clearly a memorable one. “The first night [after the flight] I’m hearing some commotion,” says Yves. It was his main language-learning helper, Konji, retelling his experience in the plane. “He gathered a crowd. And then [in Baka storytelling style], he dynamically gave them a play by play account of the flight experience with actions and sound effects. The crowd was hanging on every word. “He did this for three straight nights.” Konji, a storyteller par excellence, was conveying his experience in a way that mere words couldn’t capture. “I said to Christine, you have to hear this. If the gospel could be told—even imperfectly—in this fashion, it would make a great impact.” Unbroken Narrative This observation launched Yves into the painstaking work of translating the Bible in a way that would capture the Baka’s medium of communication, oral storytelling. “He developed a way to have God’s Word communicate dynamically through story format, but not just the way we tell our stories in English—the way the Baka themselves tell stories,” says Christine. During the course of the 17-year project, Yves and his language team translated 37 key Bible stories in oral story format. This story Bible was made into audio recordings with Scripture based songs, and was also produced as illustrated booklets to serve a future literacy project. While the Léonards have warm memories of the time they spent with the Baka, it included sacrifice and suffering. They and their daughters experienced sickness, isolation, and discouragement, and there were times when they were tempted to leave. Christine attributes some of Yves’ perseverance in completing the translation work to what he learned in childhood. “I think those gifts of administration—he had them from the beginning. But they were really honed through his sufferings and the wisdom he gained from his sufferings. Yves was focused and didn’t let the daily or the urgent overwhelm the important and the goal.” The Léonards completed their assignment in 2012, and passed the Baka Story Bible on to church planters with World Team. They are witnessing how God’s Word told dynamically and authentically is acting as a bridge for Jesus to enter the Baka culture and their lives. Yves and Christine with close friends in Ndjibot in 2012. The women’s husbands were away in the forest when this photo was taken. As Yves reflects on his life and on the Baka project, what stands out to him is not the success of a completed translation project, but the unbroken narrative of God’s love and grace. “I think because I did experience such a tumultuous childhood and early adulthood, I have seen how fragile life is. I know that the difference between success and failure or finishing and not finishing often seems held by a thread. “If our project succeeded, it’s not because I persevered, although I did persevere, and it’s not because I’m smart, although I did research and study hard. “Rather, it was a gracious gift from God.” Ruth Richert is a volunteer writer with Wycliffe Canada.

June 2, 2022 “I cried for the first time in my life” By Wycliffe Canada Back to all stories Imagine a region torn by war. The militia controls public life. People live in fear. How can the translated Word of God make a difference? How can it even get to people? In that troubled region in West Asia, four friends had remained in spite of the danger. They were determined to offer living hope to the people around them. Their most important tools were simple cassette tapes with stories about biblical characters. One that was particularly popular featured ten Old Testament Psalms, set to music composed by renowned local artists. Then, one day, a group of 22 heavily armed men from a radical militia group drove up to the house of the four friends. The militia took them all away, along with their two vehicles and some of their possessions. They were held captive for two days, and they had no idea what their captors were planning to do with them. One of the militia leaders was driving one of the confiscated vehicles when he noticed a cassette tape. It was the Psalms tape that the four friends had been using to share the word of God with others. The militia leader decided to insert it into the vehicle’s cassette player. He listened to the Psalms as he drove along. The next day that same leader arrived back at the house where the four friends were held. He had the Psalms tape in his hand. “I listened to this tape yesterday while I was driving in your vehicle,” he said. “And while I was listening to it, I cried for the first time in my life.” “Neither myself nor my men could ever harm people who would own such an amazing, God-honouring tape,” the militia leader continued. “You can’t be bad people – only good people would listen to such music.” Shortly after this incident, the four friends were released. Their vehicles and their belongings were given back to them – everything except that Psalms tape! As told by Butros (pseudonym) Posted in Impact Previous Next

August 19, 2021 Called to peace By Wycliffe Canada Back to all stories In the Eastern Highlands region of Papua New Guinea (PNG), Wycliffe Australia’s Matt Torrens organized a trauma healing workshop in 2020. The course, which helps traumatized people apply God’s Word to their pain and brokenness, brought together people from two warring villages in PNG. A ceasefire had been in place, but it had been broken. Many lives had been lost on both sides. The future for the region looked grim. Yet, when the village leaders heard what God’s Word says about His mercy and forgiveness, their hearts were transformed. Two verses in Romans brought revelation to both sides, instructing them to “never pay back evil with more evil” but to “do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone” (Romans 12:17-18, NLT). “As they were taking their burdens to the cross,” says Matt, “leaders from both sides stood up and said, ‘Now we know that retribution is in God’s hands.'” Leaders from a local church involved in new ceasefire agreements have been trained in using the Healing the Wounds of Trauma material, should any tensions arise in the future. The community also recognized that the healing between the tribes took place during the time that PNG’s new prime minister, James Marape, called for three weeks of prayer and fasting for the nation. “We all agreed that it was God’s timing that they were completing the workshop,” says Matt, “and were now able to reconcile as a community.” Matt says that after reconciliation had taken place, a brilliant rainbow appeared and stretched out across the two villages. “It was like God was smiling on us, reminding us all of his mercy and faithfulness.” Matt and his wife Andrea say they are thankful for everyone who prays and supports the work of Bible translation and enable them to serve in PNG. “We are privileged to see firsthand how much God’s Word impacts people’s lives,” he says. “So many people here have suffered incredible hardships and yet, because of our amazing God, we can bring them a message of hope, love and forgiveness.” Source: Adapted from an article at wycliffe.org.au Learn more: Trauma healing Posted in Impact Previous Next

October 7, 2020 A changed perspective By Wycliffe Canada Back to all stories Jamal didn’t always see eye to eye with his Christian friends. But despite their different beliefs about God, they shared a common bond — they all were deaf. Like most deaf children, Jamal faced communication barriers, both in his community and in his family. So when he started attending Tanzania’s Buguruni School for the Deaf, friendships developed naturally, regardless of religious backgrounds. However, by the time Jamal reached adulthood, his zeal for his own belief system had deepened. “I was very proud of my identity,” he signed, “to the point of despising everyone [whose beliefs differed from mine].” Even so, his interactions with Deaf Christians continued. One reason was Jamal’s involvement in Deaf advocacy efforts. This led him to begin participating in community testing organized by the Tanzanian Sign Language Bible translation team. At those sessions, Jamal and others would watch sign language Scripture translations on video, then comment on the clarity and naturalness of the translations. Although Jamal was moved by the videos, they mainly stirred up questions — especially when it came to the divinity of Jesus. Enlightened by the Word Eventually Jamal decided to take his questions to members of the translation team. “I told them that I couldn’t find any place in the Bible where it says that Jesus was God,” he signs. The team was happy to help Jamal. They sat down with him and immediately started sharing different Scripture videos in Tanzanian Sign Language. As Jamal encountered Scripture verses that point to Jesus’ divinity, something incredible happened. “At first it seemed like I was blind or covered by a spiritual dark veil — but then I began to see,” he signed. “The words of the Bible had come to life.” After that experience, Jamal became even more involved in the Tanzanian Sign Language project. Now he volunteers his time to advance the Bible translation effort, promoting it in the community and at various events. But more importantly, Jamal has been baptized as a believer in Christ. He has even changed his name to Joel, which in Hebrew means “the Lord is God.” The Cost of Believing The decision to follow Jesus, however, has come with a cost. After people learned Joel had abandoned his former religion, he lost his job. Many of his relatives were displeased as well. Still, Joel has hope for the future and prays that one day everyone in his family will be accepting of his new faith. “I thank God for revealing the truth to me,” he signed. “And I thank the Tanzanian Sign Language team for their support, care and love.” Adapted from a story at wycliffe.org Posted in Impact Previous Next

March 16, 2018 “One Crazy Gringo” By Guest Contributor Back to all stories Wycliffe founder William Cameron Townsend faced the future with openness, spontaneity and creativity. He was an explorer who chose not to follow existing models, but forthrightly forged ahead, believing God was guiding his dreams. At a 25-year celebration of work done in Peru by Wycliffe’s key partner organization, SIL, Mr. José Jiménez Borja, an assistant to the Peruvian Minister of Education years before, told the following story. “I remember the day Mr. Townsend came into my office in 1945. He presented the most ridiculous plan I had ever heard. He wanted to go into the jungle with a group of linguists. They were going to learn the languages of the people, form alphabets, teach the people how to read and translate the Bible into those languages. He wanted my blessing on this impossible project. Our conversation went like this: Mr. Townsend, who is going to do all this work?’ It will be done by trained linguists-young men and women with college degrees who are willing to spend their lives among the indigenous peoples. This is a difficult task. How many are willing to go? None, yet. But when I go back to the U.S. and challenge them, many will volunteer. The jungle is impossible. How will you get those people out to the villages? I plan to use airplanes to land on the rivers and airstrips that can be cleared in the jungle. How many planes do you have? None. But when I share the need, God will give us enough planes. Who will fly these planes? Hundreds of young people, seasoned pilots and mechanics will volunteer. How many pilots and mechanics do you now have? None, but God will send them along. There is much disease in the jungle. How will you stay healthy? We’ll have clinics staffed by doctors and nurses. | How many doctors and nurses do you have? None, but God will supply them. Who will finance all this? The U.S. government? A wealthy foundation? No. I’ll go home and tell the people of the United States about this plan. God will supply. All the workers will raise their own support. At this, I stared at the strange man and told him, “When all that comes to pass, come back to me and I will bless you.” He got up, gave me a big hug, and said, ‘I’ll be back soon.’ “When Mr. Townsend walked out of the door, I turned to my secretary and said, ‘Alla va el gringo mas loco que jamas he visto.’ (There goes the craziest gringo I’ve ever seen in my life.) “A few months later, Mr. Townsend was back and ready to start! Now, 25 years later, all he dreamed has happened, plus much more. Only God could do such a mighty thing.” —Adapted from an article by Bernie May, in the former JAARS publication, Beyond , Vol. 30, No. 1 Posted in People Previous Next

November 2, 2022 Translating Scripture for Spain’s Deaf presents unique challenges By Wycliffe Canada Back to all stories Spain is a country of 47 million people at the southern tip of Europe. A little over half of the population in Spain identify as Catholic, while the majority of others consider themselves to be atheist, agnostic or hold no religious views. Evangelicals make up less than one per cent of the population. The Deaf community is among the most unreached. Spanish Sign Language and Catalan Sign Language are the two primary languages used by the Deaf in Spain and make up the Spain Sign Language Cluster project. While most Deaf aren’t antagonistic toward Christianity, many feel it’s not relevant to their daily lives. “It is only when one learns their language and begins to see the world through their eyes,” notes the project adviser, “that a real relationship can be built. Largely for this reason, the Deaf community is among the most unreached.” But producing sign language Scripture in Spain has unique challenges: the team is working with two related signed languages, and in co-operation with both Protestants and Catholics. Working with people from two religious backgrounds requires flexibility. Spain Sign Language Cluster team members recently finished drafting the entire New Testament. The team’s focus has now shifted to working with consultants to finalize the checking. Approximately 50 per cent of the New Testament has been published, and the other half will be published as the consultant-checking is completed in both Spanish and Catalan sign languages. When the team brought drafted Scripture to the Deaf community for feedback, people expressed how important it is for them to have God’s Word to guide them. “We need to stand firm holding on to Jesus, holding on to Scripture,” a Deaf Christian signed. The translation team members themselves are also being changed by Scripture in their language. Sign language translation involves facial expressions, body positions and movements; Pastor David, an on-screen signer for the project’s motion capture Scripture videos, has to express emotion while recording God’s Word. One day the team was filming the story of Lazarus’ death and resurrection from John 11. In the passage, Jesus weeps and is also deeply troubled. As David signed, he imagined the emotions Jesus must have experienced. “Being forced to feel the text is far more impacting on my life than just reading the words,” he expressed.
