 Know Your God! God is Gracious
Prayer for the World
Question: How do we appreciate the Grace of God?
Bible translation and distribution
Answer: We appreciate the grace of God by focusing on God’s work not ours.
Christianity began in an environment of minority languages - Aramaic and Hebrew
- but spread into a world dominated by other languages such as Koine Greek. Often
Focus on God’s Gracious Work:
the Septuagint Greek version of the Old Testament was adopted over the original His work in,
Hebrew. Christianity has never adhered to the idea that the Scriptures should only
be read in the languages as originally written, like some other religious systems and 1. our state. (vs. 1-3, Col 2:13)
their sacred texts; as a result, translation into local languages for full comprehension
soon became an ongoing and praiseworthy preoccupation. By the 4th Century there
were Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopic, Gothic and Georgian translations, soon followed by
the Latin Vulgate.
2. our Savior. (4-7)
Major Bible publishers and distributors. Pray specifically for these ministries:

G RACE C HAPEL

languages, especially in hotel and motel rooms and to school children, the armed
forces, in hospitals and elsewhere. Nearly 76.9 million Gideon Scriptures were given
out in 2007. Close to 1.5 billion Scriptures have been distributed since 1908. 3. our Salvation. (8-10) (Chinese Christian Fellowship)
b) Trinitarian Bible Society distributed 11 million Scriptures in 2009.
c) Scripture Gift Mission (SGM International) is a Christian charity producing free

seekers into church membership. In 2000, 18.5 million Scriptures were provided
and used to disciple 1.7 million people in Bible study, leading 181,090 people to
join local churches. In addition, 2,731 new churches were planted in 2000 through
the ministry of The Bible League. The Bible League is also one of the leading pro-
viders of Scriptures to the Persecuted Church.
e) The Pocket Testament League has a ministry of distributing Gospels and New

and pick up a Bible. Christians in countries like Colombia, China and Egypt gather

sands are waiting to receive Bibles through this ministry.
