The Seed Company project is finally in production. Seed Company, an affiliate of Wycliffe Bible Translators, has asked Harvest Media to develop a donor video targeting donors to whom social justice issues are important. This video will highlight the social transformational power of the Word of God once translated into the heart language of a people.

We have completed the script and are scheduling trips to Ghana, Peru and Texas for filming. We will be highlighting two people groups who have experienced significant social and economic transformation as a result of Bible Translation:

FareFare people group– Northern Ghana:

Located in NorthEast Ghana– trip scheduled January 6-16.
Before Bible Translation: 30 to 40 years ago, marginalized, fear of ancestral spirits prevented the people from thriving, preliterate/illiterate, few schools, half million population, backwards in social and infrastructural development, considered just above animals, underdeveloped, no roads, electricity, hospitals, animistic and fatalistic worldview, divine determined majority of important life decisions.

After Bible Translation: Thriving economically, highly literate, roads, electricity, schools, well developed infrastructure.

Ticuna people group– Peru:

Trip scheduled in mid February.
Before Bible translation: High infant mortality rates (@ 50%), animistic, tree spirits, witch doctors influenced important life decisions, living in open huts with thatched roofs, no wells, roads, infrastructure, alcoholism was deeply woven into the social fabric, prevalent fighting, violence, domestic violence, zero percent literacy.

After Bible Translation: Infant mortality very rare, beautiful village with roads and homes with walls, town square, schools, almost 100% literacy, college graduates, wells, infrastructure, very little alcoholism and violence.
