Daily Prayer: the Swadesh-speaking people
A large people group who will have the Scriptures as they're primary teacher. This is a fairly new project. There is a funding lifetime need of $60, 614 .00. Most of the Swadesh people are animists at heart with a thin veneer of Hinduism over their daily lives. Less than 1% of the Swadesh are Christians. At the start of the project, the Swadesh team had translated the books of Mark, Philemon and James along with a booklet on the Parables of Jesus and some other small study guides. They were already making progress on other epistles and also producing gospel tracts.
- Pray with the team that the Swadesh New Testament will lead to enormous church growth in the area. Evangelists and church planters are switching from the regional language into using Swadesh as it becomes available.
- As the team translates the Scriptures, the small, scattered Swadesh church will be encouraged as they gather in their homes and communities. Pray God will use the New Testament to train people who have very little access to outside discipleship and build up the local church.
