At the heart of illumiNations Asia’s quest lies an ambitious yet profoundly vital objective: to ensure that every person in East Asia gains access to the Gospel in the language that resonates most deeply with them — the language in which they think, dream, and pray by 2033. This is no small feat, especially when we consider the staggering diversity of languages in this region.
Currently, there are 251 language groups in East Asia. However, the vision extends far beyond that, aiming to address the 1,844 language groups across all of Asia by the year 2033. This ambitious timeline underscores an irrefutable truth: it is not merely the lofty ideals that matter, but the tangible actions that can bring them to fruition.
Translating Scripture is an intricate process, demanding exceptional collaboration and meticulous coordination. The complexities multiply exponentially when considering the multitude of languages and cultural contexts involved.
Herein lies the challenge: How do we mobilize the resources, expertise, and passion required to meet these goals? This is where your partnership becomes essential. By giving just one verse today, you can initiate a ripple effect — your contribution could ultimately lead to multiple verses, touching lives and changing eternities.
As we stand on the cusp of this endeavor, let us commit to the profound impact our collective efforts can yield. Together, we can illuminate the spiritual landscape of East Asia, one verse at a time.
