Celebrating the Complete Isnag Bible!

Praise God that after 66 years of waiting, the Isnag people in the Philippines are finally able to hold the complete Bible in their hands! Nard Pugyao, an Isnag believer and the first indigenous missionary pilot, talked about his joy: “I marvel and awe and say, ‘God, this is it.’”

Dr. Rudy Barlaan, a translator and consultant, emphasized that “everything [God] does is for His own glory and name’s sake … so His plan is always carried out.” Mark Pugyao, a co-translator on the project and a local pastor, said that when he reads the Bible in Isnag, his heart feels “like butter melting.” He said: “I really understand every single word that the Lord says in His Word.”

Watch the story of the Isnag, hear inspiring testimonies and celebrate God’s goodness alongside this community.

Wycliffe’s mission is to serve with the global body of Christ to advance Bible translation and work together so people can encounter God through His Word.
