Synopsis

A family leaves home in Southern California and moves to the other side of the world. They discover the importance - and the power - of God's Word in a person's heart language. In a village in Cameroon a lake erupts and people suffocate. One man from the Cung people group survives, believing God spared his life for a purpose. A ten-year old is killed in a motorcycle accident. The tragic event brings about an opportunity for the Yambetta people to hear a message of hope. HIV and AIDS victims in Uganda feel rejected and hopeless. Translated Scriptures and a program in their Bwisi language give them and their children hope and a future. The Hidi people live with the burden that love must be earned, until they find a word in their language that describes God's unconditional love. A Tenet man walks a thousand miles to make sure his people group gets a Bible they can understand. The pace of Bible translation is accelerating rapidly. We are approaching the finish line - the day when every people group on earth will be able to access and engage with God's eternal Word. But there are still more than eighteen hundred people groups without one word of Scripture in their language. There is a role for you in reaching the finish line. Come find it.
