Charles and his team are working on five strategic languages in which Islam has recently made inroads. “Our people are story-crazy people. unfoldingWord® Open Bible Stories overcomes their hostility to the message of Christ.

“The movement of God’s global Church engaging in Bible Translation is not just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It’s really a once-in-eternity opportunity that unfoldingWord is part of. It is a joy for Wycliffe to learn and journey with you all in this process.”
