SCRIPTURE VERSE: Rev 7: 9–10 . 9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no
one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before
the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they
cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb”.

Wycliffe Caribbean’s New Website!!
Thank you, Lord! Finally, after much prayer and effort, we thank the
Lord very much for helping us with the Wycliffe Caribbean website
upgrade. Also many thanks to Shanna, Nathan and all who were involved. It is now up and running again. We appreciate your continued prayer so that the Lord’s purposes will be accomplished through
it, on behalf of those who have not yet heard.
Celicia - Off to Guyana!
Celicia has left for Guyana! She will be there from April 15th May 11th. While there, she will assist with the work among the
Wapishana people in Southern Rupununi, the area of Guyana
bordering Brazil. Not too long after this, she leaves us again to
serve further afield. Thank you for remembering Celicia and the
Wapishana in prayer.

Our Mission Statement
In partnership with the wider
Christian community, we activate,
equip and release Caribbean people
whom God is calling to serve the
Bibleless peoples of the world.
Vision 2025
We embrace the vision that by the
year 2025 a Bible translation project
will be in progress for every people
group that needs it.
Where We Work
In more than 90 countries, and all
continents except Antarctica!
This was a tremendous series of events! Wycliffe Caribbean
invited outstanding South African Christian businessman,
Graham Power, to Jamaica, for a series of events from 11 to
16 February 2015. He is internationally known as the initiator
of the Global Day of Prayer, and also launched the Unashamedly Ethical Campaign, promoting Biblical ethics. We praise
the Lord for this contribution to His kingdom purposes.

PRAYER NEEDS
“My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations” (Isaiah 56:7).
In Prayer for the Bibleless, our colleagues, the Displaced, the Persecuted, the nations.
Resolute love: Renewing our commitment to prayer for reaching the Bibleless
He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to
give birth to us by giving us his true Word. And we, out of all
creation, became His prized possession (James 1: 17b-18
NLT). The year may be new, but our God remains the same.
His love for the lost never changes. Today, Wycliffe estimates that around 180 million people, speaking at least
1,860 languages likely need a Bible translation project to be
started in their languages. Pray that we all will be faithful in prayer, not putting off prayer
until a later time. Source: https://www.wycliffe.org/prayer/details/resolute-love
Belize broadcasts the Good News: Segments of the Audio New Testament
“...Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen,
the more understanding you will be given...and you will receive
even more.” (Mark 4:24,NLT) In Belize, translation personnel
produced a series of 67 radio programme segments, using the
Kriol scriptures. The segments make use of the entire Kriol
audio New Testament. See items for prayer on the link below:
