Get the Word Out!

Call to Prayer posters

These posters can be hung on your wall at home and at church.  They will remind you to keep praying - for mission in general and for Bible translation in particular.  This world needs our prayers.

Words for Life small group activity issues

In these special issues of Words for Life you will find resources for your small groups to use.

This material will raise awareness of mission. It will enable people to have a clearer understanding of the needs of people groups who do not have the Bible in their heart language and the initiative called Vision 2025—to start translation by 2025 for every language community that needs God’s word.

The material is set out to make it easy for your group leaders to follow, and we hope that you and the groups will enjoy these activities and find them meaningful.

It will probably take a couple of hours or more to run through all the activities. One idea leads to another, so you may be able to adapt some of these ideas and create your own variations.

Have a great time together! Let’s get the word out!

"Thank you very much for the special small groups activity issue...we enjoyed it very much. People especially liked searching the Psalms for songs and singing some of them! Thanks again."
Church leader

"Great! Really enjoyed by our youth group and challenged them to get to know the Bible better.  They enjoyed the quizzes and became more aware of what it is like not to be able to understand God's word for yourself.  More please!"
