Prayer requests concerning the translation and publication of books by William „Bill“ MacDonald

Updated July 2025

Translation Work of Bill`s books:

Praise the Lord about continued interest to translate Bill`s books into various languages. Three publishers from India are interested to take on some titles and we pray for the Lord`s guidance concerning these translation projects.

Bill was very enthusiastic about the translation of his commentary into Hebrew and Greek.

Hebrew: We are looking to the Lord for guidance. We would need some able translators to get started.

Greek: Praise: The translation of the NT and the OT is finished in record time and has been published. Pray that the Lord will use it and that it will be spread. There are very few believers in Greece.

Indonesian. Praise: the NT BBC has been published in print and online. The online version is important since there are so many islands where Indonesian is spoken – and where there would be no access to a book shop. We pray for a team who will work on the OT.

Nepali: Praise: the translation is finished and corrections are being made on the OT part. The editor needs our prayers since he is getting old and loosing strength.

Arabic: The translation of the NT and OT Commentary is finished and published. The Arabic Commentary is available on the internet. This is important since in many Muslim countries people cannot get the books.

Iran: Praise: The NT and OT translation has been finished and is already available on the web. It has been printed in several volumes.

Chinese: There are new print runs of the BBC in China again and again.

Italian: Praise that the NT and OT BBC has been translated and published. We pray that the books will be used by the believers.

Japanese. Pray for progress of the OT translation. The translator is very sick with cancer.

Tajik, Telugu, Assamese, Kuki and Hindi: translators are working hard, pray for the Lord`s help.

Lithuanian: The translation of the NT is in print. Please pray for a team who would translate the OT.

Swahili: Please pray for the completion of the translation work of both versions (Congo and Tanzania).
