ESSAY June 2026 - The Arabic ESSAY Translators’ Journey - Arabic ESSAY Translation Group

A need to step forward and serve with integrity led to the creation of a spiritual bridge between the Arabic-speaking community and ESSAY.  In the middle of 2022, our journey began not with a grand plan, but with a quiet realization between two fellows. We saw a gap that felt like a canyon: the life-giving words of the ESSAY magazine were largely locked away in English, leaving many of our Arabic-speaking brothers and sisters struggling to find the same depth of recovery we had discovered. We knew that if we were to truly live out our legacy of service, we had to find a way to bridge that gap. We had to translate the “language of the heart” into our own tongue.
