Here's what I learned from the Discovery Center today:
Although you’ll never find them all in your local Christian bookstore, there are more than 500 English translations of Scripture.
A vast amount of Bible translation has been done for the 10% of the world’s population who are mother tongue English speakers, while only 6% of the world’s languages have a complete printed Bible.
I think most of the time I'm not as grateful as I should be for this gift. I have always known that God speaks my language, but around the world millions of people still don't. And that leaves many of them wondering if He cares at all, or even exists.
