Jade Star Southeast Asia Back to all projects Overview Research indicates that more than 350 sign languages are in use around the world today, yet only one—American Sign Language—has a translation of the complete Bible! And only two per cent of the Deaf population worldwide has been introduced to the gospel. That means that nearly 70 million people are still waiting to understand the Good News. Through support from people like you, a community of Deaf believers is working hard to translate a set of chronological Bible stories into their language, using sign language in a video format because they are unable to read written scripts. More than 540,000 Jade Star* sign language users live in a restricted-access country in Southeast Asia, where Christians are few and persecuted. Jade Star speakers are part of an ethnic minority and many live in conflict zones. Worldwide, 80 per cent of the Deaf do not even have access to formal education in order to learn to read and communicate with others. Often, they are a minority within a minority. As you can imagine, this can lead to loneliness and despair. The Deaf need the hope of the gospel. You can help the Chronological Bible Translation team reach the Jade Star Sign Language community for the first time with the hope of God’s Word. Your partnership is key You will help: Produce a chronological translation of the Bible over the next three and a half years The predominantly Buddhist Deaf population engage with Scripture, through chronological stories from Mark’s Gospel and portions of the Old and New Testaments In the U.S., when a Deaf woman named Tanya began engaging with the Bible in video format, she was finally able to have a relationship with God. “I remember thinking, ‘God I want to communicate, I want to understand who you are.’ I felt so disconnected. Now I have a relationship with God. I feel so close to Him. Now I know that he is my Father, my beloved. I am so grateful for the gift of God’s Word in sign language . . . thank you, God.” Wouldn’t it be amazing to hear a testimony like Tanya’s, from someone in Southeast Asia? You can help make this happen. * pseudonym A Deaf woman worships God using Thai Sign Language at Grace Era Club Church in Bangkok, Thailand. $0 $0 Remaining Need: of $79,330 Current phase: 2023-2026 2025-26 | $79,330 GIVE NOW Pray for Jade Star Receive a simple monthly update with stories and prayer points PRAY Facebook LinkedIn Your gift will help: Classics Memoirs Historical Fiction Recent highlights A first draft of Acts 28 was completed, while several preceding chapters are being checked either by the team or by a translation consultant.

Eurasia EPP, Daniel and Lisa Daniel and his wife Lisa took an assignment in East Asia in 2017 to serve in aviation maintenance. They joined Wycliffe in 2014 and prior to moving overseas, they received training for their roles there and developed a team of prayer and financial supporters. In their country of assignment, Wycliffe’s partner organization uses aircraft to reach remote locations (usually inaccessible by road) and help transport people, goods and even pigs to serve the local communities. “Many of those who use the aircraft for transportation are people working in Bible translation projects,” says Daniel, “and that is the main reason we are there.” The Epps have four awesome kids. https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E341555QE&id=63 Previous Next Support our ministry GIVE NOW
