What's been done. What's left to do.
Through the Bible, God speaks directly to every man, woman and child. But unless people have the Bible in their heart language, they cannot read his message of life, hope and salvation. Thousands of languages still don’t have a single verse of Scripture.
Let's take a closer look at the needs.
