SCRIPTURE VERSE: Rev 7: 9–10 . 9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb”.

Celebrate Bible Translation Day - 30 September
On 30 September 1966, a ceremony was held to proclaim that day as Bible Translation Day. A Sioux Amerindian from South Dakota, USA, Congressman Ben Reifel had witnessed firsthand the impact that owning the Bible in her language had on his mother, who spoke very little English and who used the Sioux Bible to teach her children about God.
