Transformed by the Word: Little by little
Not all change that takes place in our discipleship with Jesus is quick and dramatic. Lyn writes about the ways God often chooses to change us into the likeness of Jesus little by little throughout our walk with him.
The power of God's Word
The Bible is also the most translated book in history. Of the 7,394 languages in the world, 3,658 languages have at least some Scripture translated. But what makes this book so special? Eva McMaster explains.
The importance of home staff
Bible translation projects cannot happen without people filling various roles both ‘on the ground’ and at the home office. Administrative staff here in Australia are just as essential as overseas and cross-cultural workers for keeping Bible translation fires burning. In Wycliffe Today, we will be shining a spotlight on some of Wycliffe Australia’s home office staff. We start by introducing Gary and Eva.
Creating change from the inside out
Nelson Tapineng is the new Executive Director of the Bible Translation Association (BTA) of Papua New Guinea – one of Wycliffe Australia’s close partners.

He wants everyone involved in the work of Bible translation to not only be helping others be changed by God’s Word but also be in the process of being transformed themselves.
