Stephanie de Oliveira on bringing transformation through Bible Translation.

Imagine never having read the Bible because it doesn't exist in a language you understand.

On this episode of The MercyCast, Raleigh Sadler talks with Stephanie de Oliveira, Director of Church Relations at Wycliffe Bible Translators, about the urgent global mission of Bible translation and reaching communities still waiting for Scripture.

Stephanie shares her journey into missions and explains why Bible translation is a ministry of the global Church—including the growing need for oral, audio, visual, and sign-language Scripture.
