Rhema for the Nations was established 25 years<\/strong> ago to provide Bible translations and Christian discipleship to unreached and unengaged people groups. We are a non-profit, nondenominational Christian ministry<\/strong> dedicated to bringing God\u2019s Word to every tribe, tongue, and nation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We reach out to unreached and unengaged people groups through Bible translation and community engagement<\/strong>. Because most of the remaining UUPG\u2019s are oral communities, we focus on providing audio translations<\/strong> of the Bible rather than written translations. We also have outreach ministry programs<\/strong> as a means to meet the physical needs of impoverished and sick people and to share God’s message of Hope.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We believe that everyone<\/strong> deserves to hear God’s life-giving, life-changing message in a way that they can fully understand.<\/strong> We have witnessed many lives transformed and miracles worked after people have heard the Word of God in their own language. We thank partnering ministries such as Seed Company and Wycliffe Bible Translators who help us thoroughly through our translation process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t We start our Bible translation projects in places where there is no scripture in a way that people can understand, particularly among the unreached and unengaged people groups in the world. Our teams are currently in Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Timor Leste, Nigeria, alongside other unnamed countries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Trusting Jesus Christ as our Savior, we believe in:<\/p> The word “Rhema” is a Greek word which means “the spoken word.” “the spoken word of God” or “the God-breathed word,” or a “spiritually enlightened understanding of the Word of God.” It is often used to differentiate between a spiritual and natural understanding of God’s Word.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t RFN is a non-denominational ministry that works with the rest of the Body of Christ.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t UUPGs are mostly oral cultures. It isn’t uncommon for members of oral communities to not know how to read or write at all.\u00a0This is why we deliver audio translations of the Bible, recorded in a dramatized format. It is the best way that members of oral communities can understand, relate to, and remember God’s Word.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t UUPG stands for Unreached and Unengaged People Groups.\u00a0They are people groups that currently have no known full-time workers involved in evangelism and church-planting. This means there is no Scripture available for these communities and no initiatives to provide Scripture have yet taken place.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tWhat We Do<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
