The Philippine Bible translation that took 66 years to complete

from The Common Good Podcast · host Brian From

The Isnag people in Dibagat, Philippines, finally have the Bible fully translated into their heart language--a project that took 66 years. (More than 150 known languages are spoken in the Philippines.) Nard Pugyao, native Isnag speaker and a retired missionary pilot, joins to share the amazing story.  "For many years, the people of the Philippines were on the receiving end of mission work. But now they are on the sending side—the work of evangelism and discipleship belongs to the people of Dibagat, spreading the Gospel using the Isnag Bible,” said Dr. John Chestnut, president of Wycliffe Bible Translators in a recent op-ed about the translation.
