From our archived blog:
One of the wonderful experiences we were privileged to be a part of while we were at Equip was a Scripture Celebration. These don't happen during every Equip, so we are extremely thankful for the chance to participate!
The Scripture Celebration was to celebrate the recently completed Bible translation projects from around the world (this may be the Old Testament, New Testament, or specific books). It is a way to celebrate and remember the prayers, hard work, and partnership that went into each of these translations. More importantly, the day celebrated the living Word - the reason we long to see God's Word in people's heart language, so He can be glorified
The day started with a procession - complete with balloons, instruments, and the joy of throngs of people gathered together!
Once inside, the celebration continued with worship.Here's a picture of some of our Equip classmates, and you can see David if you look closely (I'm next to him!).
The completed Bibles were carried in.
We praise God for all of the translations that were completed, but the 10 or so for Papua New Guinea touched a special place in our hearts.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
