Their voices will serve as thematic anchors, as we explore the rich tapestry of Scripture within the lives of the diverse language groups in Asia.

Navigating the Map
Starting in East Asia on Week 1 with sayings from Agur, we will progress, alphabetically, through Amos, Asaph and Daniel before concluding our first 7 days with King David, drawing from reflections found across the Week 1 series.
By Day 50, we will discover how Haggai’s focus on community aligns with Indo China’s cultures that value communal worship, how Lemuel’s writings reflect the philosophical traditions of Southeast Asia that use folklore and proverbs for moral guidance, and how Obadiah’s poetry on national judgment relates to South Asian language groups dealing with unresolved historical grievances, themes explored throughout the Pentecost 2025 calendar.
Through a series of 7 weekly highlights, we will come to celebrate the variety of literary styles that contribute to the richness of the Bible, while uncovering the profound unity of Scripture’s 40 inspired authors and our mission to eradicate Bible poverty in Asia by 2033, a global effort shared with partners such as the Wycliffe Global Alliance.
