She’s from Ohio and he’s from Alabama, but together they now call Uganda home. There, they are developing a written language for a remote African tribe. Their efforts are part of a project to translate the Bible into the last remaining languages on earth.
Since 2008, the Schrocks have lived among the Ik people. There are about 10,000 Ik tribe members and they live close to the Kenyan border.
Amber is a nurse. When they arrived in the village, she found a woman with pain in her waist. “We have clinic on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.,” she said. “I’ve been seeing 75 to 100 people a week.”
Terrill is a linguist. “My personal style of language learning is just spending a lot of time surrounded by it,” he explained.
The Ik have always had an oral culture. But thanks to Terrill and his team, the tribe will soon have something they’ve never had before — a written language.
The husband and wife work for Wycliffe Bible Translators, the world’s largest Bible translation organization.
Several years ago, Wycliffe launched a project to reach an estimated 200 million people around the world with a Bible written in their own language.
I am featuring MercyMe’s All Of Creation which is currently the Billboards’ No. 1 Christian Song at the moment. MercyMe captured last month’s Dove awards for Artist of the Year and Group of the Year.
Watch, listen, and discover how good this song is!
Separated until the veil was torn The moment that hope was born and guilt was pardoned once and for all
Captivated but no longer bound by chains left at an empty grave the sinner and the sacred resolved
chorus: and all of creation sing with me now lift up your voice and lay your burden down and all of creation sing with me now fill up the heavens let his glory resound
Time has faded and we see him face to face every doubt erased forever we will worhip the king
repeat chorus
ohh ah ohhh…ohh ah ohhh
the reason we breathe is to sing of his glory and for all he has done praise the Father praise the Son and the Spirit in one
repeat chorus 2x
and every knee will bow oh and every tongue praise the Father praise the Son and the Spirit in one.
“The reason we breathe is to sing of his glory And for all he has done praise the Father praise the Son and the Spirit in on – MercyMe”
This song is currently No. 7 at Billboard Chart. The video is one the best clips I’ve ever seen. Very inspiring and full of wisdom. Be blessed.
Until the whole world hears, Lord, we are calling out
Lifting up Your name for all to hear the sound Like voices in the wilderness we’re crying out As the day draws near, we’ll sing until the whole world hears
The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. (Psalm 28:7)
The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.(Exodus 15:2)
