Madagascar: Drafts of a New Translation Lead to New Churches

Source: Wycliffe Bible Translators, June 7, 2024

[SIL Associate Area Director] Serge Razafinjatoniary talks about the impact that Bible translation work has had on the Tsimihety community in Madagascar. After local churches in the area received drafts of the Bible and dispersed them into the community for testing, something incredible and unexpected happened: 17 new churches were formed!

He tells the story in a short video, also below (1.5 minutes). See also a related story we shared in our May 15 news briefs, A Miracle in Madagascar. What would it take for those of us with more Scripture access to regain some of the enthusiasm of those receiving it for the first time?
