The voices and verses of Nahum, Nehemiah, Obadiah, Paul, and Peter, woven together, tells a compelling narrative that underscores the urgency of ensuring access to Scripture for <\/span>all <\/span><\/i>language groups in South Asia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Nahum\u2019s Nepal: A Stronghold for the Marginalized<\/b><\/p>

For the ethnic minorities yearning to hear God speak to them in their own language, hope flickers. Beyond that flicker, a tempest brews \u2013 economic instability and nature’s capricious fury weaving a tapestry of uncertainty that entwines their lives and dreams. But Nahum promises\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The\u00a0Lord\u00a0is good,<\/span>
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0a strong refuge when trouble comes.<\/span>
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0He is close to those who trust in him. \u2013 Nahum 1:7 (NLT)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Nehemiah\u2019s Wall: The Bricks and Mortar of Bhutan\u2019s Faith<\/b><\/p>

In Bhutan, where there are strict restrictions on Christianity, Nehemiah’s story is a powerful example of determination in the face of adversity. His commitment to rally his people to rebuild the walls mirrors the need for perseverance among Christians in Bhutan, emphasizing the urgency of fortifying their faith through the availability of the Scriptures.<\/span><\/p>

Then I told them about how the gracious hand of God had been on me, and about my conversation with the king. <\/span>They replied at once, \u201cYes, let\u2019s rebuild the wall!\u201d So they began the good work. \u2013 Nehemiah 2:18 (NLT)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Bangladesh Blues: Obadiah\u2019s Short Message on Long-Overdue Judgment<\/b><\/p>

Ensuring that displaced communities in Bangladesh have access to Scripture in their language is vital, as it offers hope and affirmation of God\u2019s justice. Obadiah’s prophecy about divine justice speaks to their plight, reminding those in power that injustice will not go unnoticed.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe day is near when I, the\u00a0Lord,<\/span>
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0will judge all godless nations!<\/span>
<\/span>As you have done to Israel,<\/span>
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0so it will be done to you.<\/span>
<\/span>All your evil deeds<\/span>
<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0will fall back on your own heads. \u2013 Obadiah 1:15 (NLT)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Paul and the Pakistani Paradox: Gospel in a Minority Context<\/b><\/p>

In Pakistan, where Christianity is a minority faith that is not only surrounded by another dominant religion the urgency of ensuring that Scripture is accessible and engaging becomes paramount. Paul\u2019s letters, when translated into languages and cultural contexts relevant to minority language groups of Pakistan, can foster deep conversations and relationships, driving the mission to make God\u2019s Word known to those who have not yet heard.<\/span><\/p>

But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? \u2013 Romans 10:14 (NLT)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Petered and Persecuted: Peter Pens a Promise to the Patience in India\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

In India, where minority Christians face persecution, Peter\u2019s encouragement serves as a beacon of hope. The challenges they endure can strengthen their faith, especially when they have access to Scripture that speaks directly to their situations, and to their hearts.<\/span><\/p>

Dear friends, don\u2019t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.\u00a0Instead, be very glad\u2014for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.\u00a0 \u2013 1 Peter 4:12-13 (NLT)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In each of these contexts, the urgent need for Scriptures in the language closest to one\u2019s heart becomes clear. Access to God\u2019s Word not only provides comfort and strength but also empowers marginalized communities to claim their identity in Christ, mobilizes them toward collective action, and nurtures resilience in the face of adversity.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
