A RIGHTEOUS REBELLION IS GROWING ALL OVER THIS WORLD

Feb 14

For I, the Lord, this day, have had enough of the evil on this Earth controlling and enslaving My people. Things are heating up, and the pace is building to a new level. Exposures and Truth are becoming explosive to wipe out and destroy their narrative, their plans to steal yet more elections in 2022 and the beginning of their New World Order.

My Children, this is a time of a standoff. Your enemies are opening the doors and are pulling out all stops right now. They want total control. This is their time to pull the plug on the systems all over the world and to totally take over everything.

So watch March and beyond. Significant things are breaking open. You will see some bad and some good. Your enemies are exaggerating everything right now because their plans are not working, but they have to make them appear that they are. The narrative they are about to push will bring fear upon most of this world using war, famine, chaos, martial law, terrorist attacks and protests all over in the streets.

Do not believe any of what they are saying. Their days have come to an end. Their end is now. In the next few months, everything that can be shaken will be: natural phenomena, government takeovers, supposed war, and great confusion to distract from the destruction. They are losing complete control.

Obama will suddenly appear on news stations to speak because “the Biden” is losing all cognitive functions. This will happen after he has a major gaffe saying that Obama is president and speaks in his ear telling him what to say. He will then give his real name, and it is not Joe. The real Joe, I told you, has already been judged. He is no longer alive.

You will see a video that was suppressed from you and the supposed Administration. Kamala has seen it and couldn't believe an imposter took the place that she was guaranteed. She has to stand next to an actor, a fake, a fraud, and she has to contain her composure to not give it away.

But watch Kamala, My children. She is breaking. She can't take the betrayal, and she won't stand for this impostor taking the position she sold her soul and her body for. No, she will start to show her hatred. She won't be able to hide it anymore.

She knows they disapprove of her performance. The puppet masters want her out. She and Biden have failed to get the American people’s approval. The world still does not accept them nor their “perfect steal”. It still isn't good enough, so they have to figure out a way for the world to accept Obama again.

They know Nancy can't handle the Presidency. They know she is a drunk and that she is dying. And they helped with that. They are now disposing of anyone they feel is no longer useful to them. She failed the puppet masters with her two impeachments that didn't work. Nothing, no assignment they gave her against Trump has worked. So now she is seen as a failure.

Her days are coming to an end, and she will not last until the 2022 midterm elections. She will be visited by the Angel of Death for her crimes against My nation. The blood is dripping from her hands. She loves to drink the little children’s blood. By drinking this blood, they believe they will receive a longer life.

Yes, she really is a true witch. She took part in the sacrifices of the children to Baal. She loved murdering for him. Well, now she will pay the ultimate price, her life. Her life is now over for the acts against you, for the babies, she killed, for giving money from “her bills” to help with trafficking the children and of course for helping finance Epstein Island and that lifestyle.

It was not just on this island as everyone thought. No, it is everywhere, and you will soon see all who helped pay for it. They used your money, United States, to kill, to enslave, to bring war to your land, to steal your elections, to brainwash, to program, to desensitize you and to control the narrative everywhere. Yes, you were just pawns to them. Your lives and money don't mean anything.

A major volcano will erupt. Part of that mountain will break off into the sea and cause a major tsunami never before been seen like this. It will head toward the east coast of your nation. Speak to it, My children. Speak peace to calm it down. It will not cause the damages that scientists or your news stations say it will. You have the authority. It will not cause the cataclysmic damage that they wanted.

Heat in places that should be cold. Cold in places that should be hot. This will become more widespread all over this Earth. There will be unusual weather patterns, and the tornado season will start up early in places that should not have them yet. However, these tornadoes will also be large and more destructive. My children, speak to the storms as Jesus did. The storms must listen to you as you have the authority on the inside of you. There will be snow in countries/nations that don't get snow at all or very rarely. Look at this sign. Snow means a cleansing for those Nations.

China will take a major fall in their economy. Yes, they were the biggest financiers to the “big steal” besides those elites and your own government. They are truly your enemies. China, you are being judged. I am wiping out your finances because you used them against My nations. You will be crippled financially from here on out. You are another Egypt. In one day, all will be gone.

To My children that live in China, do not fear. This is not for you. You are covered with My blood. I am Jehovah-Jireh, and I will provide for you. The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Your dictator, the president of China, will fall. He and many others will be visited by the Angel of Death.

A righteous rebellion is growing all over this world. Stand up, My children. Freedom is ringing all over this world. Can you hear it? Freedom and Justice are now. Your enemies are petrified because you are more in number, and you are no longer believing them. They can not stop this movement, this momentum. They will try to lock everyone down, but it will fail.

O, United States, the Patriotic movement is growing. Stand up, and more will follow. Judges will uphold the rule of law again. I told you there would be decertifications all over the States to rectify the last election.

They will hiss and snarl when this occurs. Watch out. No-holds-barred at that point, you would say. They will pull out everything they can to stop the incoming government and the rightful president. They will not surrender voluntarily, so they will be forced out. D.C. will be completely engulfed with flames, the buildings and monuments and what they stood for. Bombs will rattle and explode over D.C. to stop the plans of a nuclear war.

Trump has to move now. He has seen and heard the green light. He is obeying and moving forward with the plans I have given to him. My children, he is listening and obeying Me and My Prophets concerning the perfect timing to move. He has his move dates, and they are coming up, My children, and sooner than you think. It is time for the battle to take back this nation. So pray daily for him and for all who are with him.

My children, stand. This is a war in the spirit, and you will win every time. Blow your shofars and trumpets. Shout. Their walls will continue to fall, all that was built up against you. This is that hour of your victory. Take it now, My children, saith the Lord your Redeemer.

Helen Koding nee Luin Richard - the passing of

Image via Wikipedia

Kota Kinabalu: Datin Seri Panglima Helen Koding @ Luin Richard, widow of the late Datuk Seri Panglima Mark Koding, passed away at her residence in Likas on Tuesday.

She was 59.

Her sudden death has shocked relatives, friends and ex-students as she was known to be well. Koding, a former PBS Deputy Chief Minister, died in September 2002.

After the husband's death, she took over as the President of Gerakan Perkabaran Injil, an independent evangelical charismatic Church, which saw a number of souls won to Christ. 

At the SOL prayer and intercessors' seminar in September this year, she share how she quite a lot of personal things which blessed those who were there. Earlier on, she shared with me how she decided to leave the running of the Church to younger pastors while she concentrated on ministering to the Lord through prayers and intercessions and mission works overseas following the leading of the Holy Spirit. She was burdened for souls especially the youths in Sabah who are not well grounded in the Word of God and properly discipled to live a victorious life in Jesus Christ.

Surely, the Lord must have better plans for her. May Yeshua continue to bless and sustain the ministry she and her husband had started.

Only 200 schools offer Bible Knowledge in SPM

Image via Wikipedia

29th August, 2010

KOTA KINABALU: Only about 200 schools nationwide offer Bible Knowledge subject to their students in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.

The students can sit for the Bible Knowledge subject at 250 examination centres nationwide, 28 of which are located in Sabah.

It is hoped that the number of schools teaching and students taking up the subject will increase in the future, said Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister, Tan Sri Bernard Giluk Dompok at the handing over of Bible Knowledge textbooks to 30 schools in Sabah yesterday.

The textbooks comprised the Book of Kings and the Gospel of Luke and were an initiative of the United Pasokmomogun Kadazan Dusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) where Bernard is the president.

Last year, only 186 students sat for the subject in the SPM examination in Sabah while nationwide, only 400 candidates sat for the paper.

The target is to increase the number of candidates sitting for the paper to 2,000 in Sabah.

Bernard added that they also hoped for the subject to be recognized alongside other subjects such as English, Geography and Mathematics.

Presently, they hope to address several issues that are hampering schools and students from taking up the subject during the SPM examination, he said.

“Some people are concerned of the availability of (study) materials for the subject. We want to help them,” said Bernard.

Schools that were not part of the 30 recipients yesterday are urged to contact UPKO for the textbooks facility.

At the same time, it is also a challenge for schools to get teachers to teach the subject, he said.

“The various schools need to have the initiative to get tutors for the subject because it is not part of the school curriculum yet,” he said.

Meanwhile, Bible Knowledge was introduced at missionary schools throughout the country in the early 1940s.

It was offered during the Malayan Certificate of Education and later, in the Sijil Rendah Pelajaran (SRP) and SPM.

However, the number of schools and students taking up the subject decreased in the 1980s as it was no longer deemed compulsory to teach the subject at schools.

Presently, students undertaking the subject have to study the Book of Kings and the Gospel of Luke.

A total of eight questions are asked during the two and a half hour examination.

Also present at the event were Assistant Agriculture and Food Industry Minister, Datuk Bobbey Suan and the event’s organizing chairman, Datuk Wilfred Tangau.

The statement above refers to the eventual demise of the Kadazan Language if no immediate corrective action is taken to reverse the situation. What is the big deal? It is only a language! Even my little girl, who had been studying in a Chinese school, when pestered to learn Kadazan told me, she won't because none of her friends in school spoke it, not even the Kadazan kids themselves.

The first Chapter of the Gospel of St.John in Kadazan was circulated around but no one took any commitment to undertake a serious study and translation of the Word of God into Kadazan, either from their own language or in the language that had been adopted by them as the normal mode of communication, e.g. English or Malay. Admittedly, it is not an easy task to come up with new inventions and ideas to be expressed in Kadazan and while English had become the lingua franca in their daily lives, among the Kadazan tribes, Malay had become a common language because of its introduction as a compulsory subject in the Malaysia school syllabus.

There had been no consistent effort to preserve and improve the standard of the Kadazan Language, by this I mean the Tanggaa dialect or "Z" dialect, and because of the lack of sufficient interest, it does seem to die of natural death! But ... there is a big but in this line of argument ... can the Kadazan be voiceless forever; isn't it the intention of the enemies of God's people to see them dumb, blind and devoid of self-respect because the thief comes not but to steal, kill and destroy; but Jesus came to give life and life abundantly (John 10:10) Jesus is the "Boos do Kinoingan nadadi do Kadazan"

The Kadazan can be likened to a 'heart attack patient' in the ICU needing a 'by-pass' and the only Doctor qualified to do this urgent and critical operation is Yeshua Himself yet even His name is banned in public places, what more in schools and public assemblies ! 

But the Good News is Jesus in complete control of the situation and those who are dead against Him will one day confess with their lips and bow on their knees that Jesus is the Lord of lords and King of kings. Halleluya.

Kadazan Grassroots Bible Translation Project - Gospel of St.John

Image by Isolino via Flickr

After waiting for almost about 3 centuries for the 'Church' to come up with a complete Kadazan (tangaa) Bible translation from the Book of Genesis to Revelation, a group of 'born-again Christians/Catholics' have taken the initiative of organizing a faith based initiative, which prayerfully provokes positive response from the concerned individuals, and undertake a project which we have named as the KADAZAN GRASSROOTS BIBLE TRANSLATION PROJECT. The idea is to pass around portion of the scriptures to all relevant 'educated' Kadazan and, during their quite time, commit themselves to learning, meditating and translating what they have learn into Kadazan (Tangaa or the dialects of their choices, e.g. Tatana, Bonggi, etc)

We set ourselves a timetable of say one chapter a week and see how it goes.

The following is my first attempt to translate the first fe verses of the Gospel of St. John, which I am passing around for comments, correction, amendments, textual criticism and, where possible, re-translation. The version I have used is KJV (both old and new). It would be much better if the translation is done in the original Hebrew and Greek but even the UMS Head of the Kadazan Department, which is especially set up through the request of some of our political Christian leaders, does not know Hebrew or Greek and neither any of our scholars, to my knowledge, who carry  PHDs of all sorts.

We hope to compile these and eventually agree on a common translation that is easily understood by our Kadazan readers and yet faithful to the original text as the inspired word of God. Please pray for God's anointing as we embark upon this important and souls saving exercise which is the heart beat of His Kingdom on Earth, even as we prepare ourselves for the second coming of the reigning King of kings and Lord of lords. Maranatha.

The Power of Love for God is Love.

To them that love God. These are those who enjoy the blessed assurance just given. Notice the order in the Revised Version, which is the order of the Greek, to them that love God all things work together for good. The love of God is the very foundation of the Christian life. See Lu 10:28 and Joh 14:23. The expression, them that love God, is synonymous with Followers of Christ. See 1Co 2:9 Eph 6:24 2Ti 4:8 Jas 2:5. The two expressions them that love God and the called are are different ways of describing the same class.

To them who are the called. These have been called by the gospel and have accepted the call. Many others are called Jews and Gentiles, but only those who hear and obey are chosen (Mt 20:16 20:14). Paul uses the term of the latter class; those who hear and obey. The evidence that we are the called is that we love God.

According to his purpose. This call was purposed from the time that God promised a Deliverer of the fallen race (Ge 3:15).

SIL and Local Translators say they have completed the translation of Tangaa Bible 25 years - but it was left to the Roman Catholic Church!

Image by miss_lamau via Flickr

The earliest partial translation of the Bible into Kadazan (Tangaa) was done by Fr. Antonissen, a Roman Catholic missionary priest, who also compiled the first known Kadazan dictionary, and attempt had been made to have a complete translation from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation by both the SIL and assisted by Local translators subsequently. While the Liwan Bible had been successfully published in 1965, and its 2nd edition this year, the Tangaa Bible had been left to die a natural death. Is there a conspiracy to keep the Biblical Truth from the Kadazan?

KADAZAN - a Nation of Royal Priesthood - 1 Peter 2:9-10

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. Ps 127:3-5 (NAS) (dedicated to my friend Ps Joseph Samuel who is celebrating his birthday today and his lovely family - May Abba Father multiply your blessings and draw you closer to continuous intimacy with Him for He knows your faithfulness and the "cross" you carry for your community but be strengthen that He is true and faithful to His promises. Amen)

The duties of Christian parenthood flow from the nature of their God. Just as God is love, the first duty of parents is to love their children (I John 4:8). Because all children are wanted by God and are important to God, Christian parents seek to bring their children into God's presence, and God's presence into their children's lives through prayer (Luke 18:15-16). Because God is holy, Christian parents model righteousness to their children (Matthew 18:6). Because they are the objects of God's grace through Christ, they model humility and gratefulness to God (Ephesians 2:8-9) and show their gratitude by serving God (Ephesians 2:10, II Corinthians 5:14-15). Since God makes us accountable, they not only teach their children their faith, they call upon their children to live by it, and lovingly provide guidance through careful, prayerful use of correction, approval, and rewards (Ephesians 6:4). As God seeks out the fellowship of people, Christian parents bring their children to the house of the Lord to seek fellowship with other Christian children (Hebrews 10:25, I Corinthians 15:33). Just as God finally gives us free will, Christian parents have as their goal the maturing of their children so that they, in turn, can be effective Christian parents to grandchildren (Matthew 19:4-5, Luke 15:11-12).

Malays are descendants of the Kadazans - Dr. Zafrina ?

Image via Wikipedia

Dr Zafarina studies on genetics showed Malay people migrated from Borneo to Sumatera and then to Peninsula Malaysia. I have attached part of her writings below.

“TRACING THE ORIGIN OF THE MALAY RACE THROUGH THE MORPHOLOGICAL, HISTORICAL, SOCIO-CULTURAL AND GENETIC ANALYSIS

RESEARCH CENTER

Human Genome Center, School of Health Sciences and Dental School, USM
CURRENT STATUS OF PROJECT: Ongoing (started: Jan 2005 )

RESEARCHERS:
Principle Investigator: Dr. Zafarina Zainuddin

Co-researchers: Dr. Zilfalil Alwi, Prof. Abd. Rani Samsudin, Miss Azlina Ahmad,

Dr. Bakiah Shaharuddin, Dr. Liza Sharmini Ahmad Tajudin,

 Mr. Hoh Boon Peng, Mr. Mohamad Ros Sidek, Dr. Nizam Abdullah,

Prof. Norazmi Mohd. Nor, Assoc. Prof. Ooi Keat Gin, Panneerchelvam, Dr. Zainul Ahmad Rajion, Prof. Zainul F. Zainuddin

INTRODUCTION:
The Malay race inhabits particularly Peninsular Malaysia and portions of adjacent islands of Southeast Asia (SEA), east coast of Sumatra , coast of Borneo and smaller islands between these areas.

They were traced by anthropological evidence from the north-western part of Yunnan, in China.
The proto-Malays were seafaring people, probably from coastal Borneo who expanded into Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia as a result of trading and seafaring activities.

The present day Malays, called Modern Malays of Peninsular Malaysia and coast of the Malay Archipelago are a mixture of different races.

They were described as deutero-Malays, descendants of the proto-Malays mixed with modern Indians, Thai, Arab and Chinese.

The history and the origin of the Malay race have been the subject of much speculation among scholars.

Since the Malays primarily reside within SEA, particularly Peninsular Malaysia, the prehistoric migrations into these regions must be taken into consideration.

Several hypotheses of the SEA migration pattern have been put forward. Preliminary studies using mitochondrial DNA analyses suggested affinity of the Southern Mongoloid in the Modern Malay population of Peninsular Malaysia (Zafarina, 2004).

The term Melayu or Malay‚ was also associated with the Hindu-Buddhist Srivijaya Empire (7th-13 centuries CE) believed to be located in the South-eastern part of Sumatra.

An Arab text dating around 1000 CE observed that travellers bound for China sailed through the sea of Melayu‚ that can be inferred to mean the Straits of Melaka.

On opposite shores of the Straits of Melaka by the 7th century CE or earlier, there were the domicile areas of the Malays, namely Sumatra and the Malay Peninsular.

OBJECTIVES:
1.To compile the genetic profile of the Malay race.

2.To study the history, social and anthropology of the Malay race.
3.To characterise the craniofacial, dental and ocular features of Malay race.
4. To correlate the genetic profile of the Malay race with their craniofacial, dental and
ocular characteristics.

5. To correlate the genetic profile of the Malay race with its history, social and
anthropology.
6. To trace the origin of the Malay race by using the genetic profile, anthropology,
craniofacial, dental and ocular characteristics.

METHODOLOGY:
The research encompasses four parts of studies: The Historical and Socio-cultural Analysis, the Ocular Morphology Analysis, the Craniofacial Morphology Analysis, and the last major part, the Genetic Analysis.

Various types of genetic markers are used in the study of the genetic components of the population.

These markers are autosomal and Y chromosome STR markers, mtDNA, Human Leucocytes Antigen (HLA) and lastly, the SNP genotyping which will be done using the Microarray 50K genechip system.

EXPECTED OUTCOME:

1.      The tracing of the origin and the migration pattern of the Malay race.

2.     Establishing USM as a part of the member of Pacific Pan-Asian SNP Initiative (PASNPI) organized by Human Genome Organization (HUGO)”

Dr Zafarina studies is one of the most conclusive evidence of Borneo origins of the Malay race. They are not called Malay in Borneo, but Dusuns or Dayaks.

Dr Zafarina traced the genetic migration of the Dusunic speaking people of Borneo southwards in Borneo and along the way producing other tribes such as the Lun Bawangs, Bidayuhs, Ibans, etc. The Bidayuhs in turn migrated to Sulawesi and found the Bugis people. When the Dayaks or Dusun reached the southern tip of Borneo, they simply crossed over to Jawa and Sumatera.

Scientist has concluded that the Expres Train theory that the Malay race come from Taiwan were now discredited. Scientist found genes found among Polynesians (Hawaii) were not found among the indigenous Taiwanese. This shows the connection is missing.

Instead the theory goes that the Malay people who migrated from Indo China reached the coast of Borneo where the race and language of the Malayo Polynesian incubated. It was from Borneo that people migrated out to Taiwan, the Philippines and the rest of Insular Southeast Asia and the pacifics and the Indian ocean.

The proto Malays of Borneo were once great seafarers, reaching as far away land as Madagascar. Their migration led them to other Islands brought them to Sumatera, Jawa, Sulawesi, and then to the Pacifics Islands.

Incidently, the Malagasy language in Madagascar is closest to Maanyan language of Barito Kalimantan. But Manyan is closest to Dusun Witu of Barito which is alsmot 80% similar to the Dusun language of the Penampang and Papar Sabah dialect.

Dusun is about 30% similar to modern Malay. We know that modern Malay is only 30% indigenous, the rest were derived from or enriched by Sanskrit (Indian language), Arabs (during Islamic influence) and Chinese.

But the 30% indigenous are almost all similar to Dusun language in terms of sound and meanings. The followings are some Dusun/Malay similarity.

Eg mato for mata, tolingo for telinga, todung for hidung, dilah for lidah, siku for siku, longon for lengan, kulit for kulit, tonsi for isi, raha for darah, tulang for tulang, wulu for bulu, pusod for pusat, tuhat for urat, wotis for betis, etc.

Other words, kayu for kayu, watang for batang, roun for daun, bunga for bunga, tuah for buah, etc   others, wulan for bulan, watu for batu, tana for tanah, sawat for sawat (as in pesawat), osin for masin, onsom for masam, po’it for pahit, omis for manis, apui for api, matai for mati, pais for pisau, etc.

Others, iso for sa, duo for dua, apat for empat, limo for lima , onom for enam, etc.

Others, palanuk for pelanduk, buayo for buaya, lipos for lipas, tikus for tikus, tontolu for telur, ulanut for ular, etc

There are hundreds of words that form the indigenous part of the Malay language.

The dusun origins of modern Malay is something to be researched further. The dusunic speaking people are quite widespread. The Bisaya of Sarawak are dusunic people, also the dusuns of Tutung and Belait Brunei. In Barito, Kalimantan, the several dusunic speakers are related to the dusunic language.

Even the Bajau language and most visayan dialects in the Philippines can be traced to the dusunic langauge.

According to Dr Zafarina, the dusuns produce the Bajau people (interesting). This correspond with the legend among Visayans that they came from Borneo.

It is ironic that the dusuns today are not constitutional Malay though scientific evidence now showed the Borneo origins of the Malay language.

The dusuns who populated Borneo did not find great civilization in Borneo. The credit must be given to their descendents who migrated to Sumatera and eventually became Malays through intermarriage with the more culturally advance Indians to form the seeds of the melayur kingdom.

Today it is true being Malay is a pride to many Malaysians. But the Malaysian Constitutional definition does not make them racially Malays. Officially, the word Malay is a religious identity, not a racial identity.

Ironically, the only other people who defined their ethnic identity in terms of religion are the Jewish people.

Even Arabs recognize Arab Christians as Arabs. But in Malaysia, one has to be a Muslim to be a Malay.

The Malaysian constitutional definition excludes Javanese, Filipinos, and other indigenous in Southeast Asia who are malayo polynesian speakers as Malays because they do not fulfil the constitutinal definition.

The Malaysian definition of a Malay reduced the number of ethnic Malay to just 25 million people wolrd wide.

Thus, the Malay history also started only with the advent of islam in the 14th century. Malay did not exist before the advent of Islam.

The term Malay was popularized by western anthropologists based on their readings of Sejarah Melayu, however, distorted.

The term Malay is now very popular, used even by President Gloria Aroyo to identify her Filipino racial heritage. Unfortunately, may be she did not know, but the Malaysian Malays would have disputed her. She does not fulfill the Malaysian Constitutional definition to be a Malay.

Unless Malaysia change its constitution to make Malay a racial identity for Malayo Polynesian people, then the narrow definition would make the term Malay relevant to a small group of people in a sea of 300 million Austronesian Malayo Polynesian speakers.

As of now, to be a Malay is just like to be a Jew, where ethnicity is defined by religious identity.

Bible translators hope to have every language covered in 15 years

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14).

A Christian endeavor of almost 2,000 years could be substantially completed by 2025.

Protestant translators expect to have the Bible — or at least some of it — written in every one of the world's 6,909 spoken languages.

"We're in the greatest period of acceleration in 20 centuries of Bible translation," said Morrison resident Paul Edwards, who heads up Wycliffe Bible Translators' $1 billion Last Languages Campaign.

Portable computers and satellites get the credit for speeding things up by about 125 years.

Previously, a Wycliffe missionary family or team would spend decades learning and transcribing one language in a remote corner of the Earth.

Wycliffe's missionaries had the credo, "one team, one language, one lifetime," Edwards said.

At that pace, the target date had been 2150, Edwards said.

Help from technology

Contemporary missionaries, armed with technology and making greater use of apprentice native translators, might now be able to oversee transcriptions of several languages in their lifetimes, Edwards said.

"Wycliffe missionaries don't evangelize, teach theology, hold Bible study or start churches. They give (preliterate people) a written language," Edwards said. "They teach them to read and write in their mother tongue."

The missionaries develop alphabets. They create reading primers. They translate the Bible.

About 2,200 languages remain without a Bible. About 350 million people, mostly in India, China, sub-Saharan Africa and Papua New Guinea, speak only these languages.

Working on this "to-do" list are about 6,600 career and short-term missionaries with training in the Bible and linguistics.

They are following the New Testament directive of Jesus in the Book of Matthew: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded of you."

The missionaries have to come up with their own means of support, often a church sponsorship, in the field.

Katie Zartman, a 27-year-old Loveland native and Colorado State University graduate, is a senior graphic designer with Wycliffe at its Orlando, Fla.-headquarters.

She recently returned from a two-week mission to Senegal in French-speaking West Africa, where she taught a workshop on layout and design to Saafis, a small Senegalese minority for which Wycliffe is not only translating the Bible but also helping to create a small body of native literature.

"Half weren't confident in their basic computer skills when they began, but they were book publishers by the end of two weeks," Zartman said.

A people's first books

Twelve participants using open-source software (downloaded for free) completed a dozen rough drafts of 24-page booklets in the Saafi mother tongue. Most were children's stories.

"Once they have the Bible in their heart language, then it's almost like a dictionary for them to write about their oral traditions and culture," Zartman said. "The Saafis see the danger of being swallowed up by the cultures around them. Now they can create their own books."

The modern era of Bible translation began with William Cameron Townsend in 1942. He founded Wycliffe, named for the Oxford don John Wycliffe, who first translated the Bible into English in the late 1300s. Previously, English- speakers read the Bible in Latin.

So far, Wycliffe and its related organization, the Summer Institute of Language (now known as SIL International), have participated in more than 700 Scripture translations.

SIL has formal consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Edwards, a former fundraiser for Stanford University and promoter of the Colorado- grown evangelical men's ministry Promise Keepers, has raised more than $170 million in less than two years for this final big push, the Last Languages Campaign.

Edwards said that Wycliffe is helping preserve indigenous peoples' languages and cultures.

"Five hundred years ago, there were twice the number of languages we have now," Edwards said.

Many more languages are close to extinction — spoken by only a few elderly people and no children. Yet once a language is written, it can't be lost completely.

Anthropologists have been more skeptical about the effect of missionaries on indigenous cultures.

"These folks, whatever good they might do, are not disinterested parties," said University of Colorado anthropology professor Paul Shankman. "They have their own goals."

Bringing foreign ideas

Associate professor David Stoll of Middlebury College in Vermont, who has studied Wycliffe, has written that Wycliffe missionaries' activities, like those of all missionaries, become bound up not only with religious traditions but also with the expansion of English-speaking culture, economics, technology, medicine and political aims. They bring all these things with them.

"If you are not able to satisfy the leadership of the village that you are doing good and are a helpful addition, there is no reason for them to presume that what you are asking to bring to them — a written language — is particularly valuable," Edwards said. "Helping improve a village water system or bringing in the harvest with them might get you a pass to work on your project."

The Bible itself is no small influence on culture.

Yet the translators believe they bring only gifts.

"I am excited to put God's word in all people's heart language," Zartman said. "Until people can read the Bible in their own language, God is a foreign concept."
