The steep hillsides of the Nepalese valleys are no deterrent for the hungry farmer. Thousands of narrow terraces line the fertile hills of Nepal, right up into the dizzying heights of cloud and mist. Culturally and linguistically rich, Nepal has 124 living languages – 80 of them without any Scripture available. For the last ten years, the National Nepali Language Preservation Institute (NNLPI) has been actively engaged in research and cultivation of Nepali languages. In May of 2009, NNLPI celebrated the completion of its first two New Testaments. A number of other translation and literacy projects are underway. Please pray for the church in Nepal.

This is the latest in an (ad hoc) series of blogs from other sources across Wycliffe, 'showcasing' the huge range of impact our work helps to bring about. As we start a new year, we hope it reminds and encourages you of the connections, sometimes clear and sometimes very fuzzy, between what we are doing and the lives of real peoples all over the world.
