I have a question, if anyone knows the answer. It is suggested the letters you write to the persecuted Christians can be a few lines in English and then you can copy a few Bible verses that they already have translated. My question: Is there a good online translator, that you can just type in your text and have it translated into the prisoner's native language??? This is a very worthy ministry. Those poor people jailed simply for passing out Bibles or praying do need our encouragement. They are told by their captors that they are forgotten and that no one cares about them. We need to help strengthen them if we can, even if we will never hear a reply from them, as they aren't likely allowed to write back. We can also write to their government and speak out on their behalf. Or write to the embassy's to get some action on their behalf. Thanks WIP. I think I'll forward this onto the Christians in my email address book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that when you contact this site, they will translate for you. We need to remember EVERYDAY that our brother's and sister's in Christ are inprisoned, beaten, burned and tortured standing in their faith for Jesus. Let us pray for them eachday-- and let them know that we have not forgotten them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try searching through that again. I thought they had a few Bible verses already translated. Maybe you're right. Thanks Serenhu. If they don't translate, I'll use that. Either way, it's good to know its there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
