USA (MNN) ― On September 25, Wycliffe Bible Translators will name Chuck and Cynthia Swindoll as this year's Bill Bright Scripture Impact Award winners.
The award recognizes individuals whose contributions to Bible translation, literacy and Scripture proclamation reflect that of the late Campus Crusade for Christ founder, Dr. Bill Bright. The Swindolls have devoted more than five decades of their lives to communicating practical biblical truth and helping others apply God's Word to their lives.
Chuck Swindoll currently serves as the host of the radio broadcast ministry Insight for Living, in leadership at Dallas Theological Seminary, and is pastor of Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, which he founded in 1998.
Cynthia Swindoll serves as president of her husband's broadcast ministry. Insight for Living now airs in every major Christian radio market in all 50 U.S. states and on more than 2,100 outlets worldwide. Launched in 1979, the program is currently broadcast in several languages and boasts a large and growing webcast and podcast audience.
Wycliffe Bible Translators USA president, Bob Creson, says Chuck and Cynthia Swindoll have, through their ministries, helped inspire generations of Christians with a passion for reading and applying God's Word to their lives. "The Swindolls' love for God and His Word is reflected in their life-long commitment of making the Scriptures come alive for millions."
He goes on to add, "Relevant and practical in their approach, the Holy Spirit has used Chuck and Cynthia to implant the Scriptures into the hearts, minds and lives of readers and listeners in the U.S. and around the world. It is truly Wycliffe Bible Translators' privilege to be able to honor both Chuck and Cynthia as people God has used to encourage and grow His Church."
Created by the Wycliffe organization in 2003, the Bill Bright Scripture Impact Award honors the legacy of Campus Crusade for Christ founder Bill Bright. Past recipients include evangelist Billy Graham and world-renowned pastor and author, Rick Warren.
The Bill Bright Scripture Impact Award dinner will be held Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 5:30 p.m. ET at the WordSpring Discovery Center at 11221 John Wycliffe Blvd. in Orlando, Fla.
