the last languages with the gospel

Page 2: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

Nearly 7,000 languages are spoken

in the world today.

Page 3: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

Only 500 languages out of the 7,000

languages have the entire Bible.

Page 4: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

More than 2,300 of those languages have no Scripture

translated.

Page 5: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

That’s approximately200 million peoplewithout the Word of

God in a language thatspeaks to their heart.

Page 6: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

From these Bibleless language

communities, over 2.4 million

people die annually without God’s Wordin their language.

Page 7: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

Wycliffe is committed to accelerating the rate of new language

translations in response to this incredible need, so that an accurate

Bible translation would be inprogress in every language needing

one by the year 2025.

Why?

Page 9: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

Because everyone should have thechance to hear God’s Word in a language they understand best.

Page 10: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

People’s lives are changed when they

hear God’s message of love in their own language, and

Wycliffe’s work is critical

to making that happen.

Page 11: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

The Bible isn’t the only thing translated into minority languages.

Page 12: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

In addition to Scripture, other materials are

translated—things like health information, cultural stories, and

trauma healing literature.

Page 13: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

This holistic approach truly impacts every

aspect of a person’s life—

spiritual, emotional and physical.

“The greatest missionary is the Bible in the mother

tongue….”

I’m excited to be a part of what God is doing through Bible translation!

How I FIT IN

Page 16: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

Translations, dictionaries, health

books, etc. take decades to produce through translation.

Storage and transfer to current electronic

formats is needed to preserve them for future use. This

preservation is my job.

How I FIT IN

Page 17: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

By God’s grace I will continue to preserve

translations, dictionaries, health

books, etc.

MY NEXT sTEPS

Where Do I Serve

Page 19: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

I can’t do this alone!

PARTNER WITH ME

Page 20: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

As I continue on this adventure, I welcome your

prayers, encouragement and financial partnership.

PARTNER WITH ME

Page 21: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

-God’s hand on my coworkers and myself as we work together

as a team to serve Bible translation projects.

-More laborers to help get the Bible, God’s love letter, into

every person’s language. They have lived long enough in

darkness without Jesus wondering if God cares enough

about them to speak their language.

Page 22: Chad Larsen Serving with Wycliffe to reach the last languages with the gospel

Help children write cards and send letters.

Make sure to tell me how to write back because then I can

share the Asian culture with them.
