And finally, many mission groups are looking at what God has done over the last ten decadesas they look to the new century. For Jaars International’sNard Pugyao (POOG-yow), seeing his people, the Isnag, be evangelized through a video ministry is an exciting prospect for the future. “I’m praying that every one of those 35-thousand Isnags would hear about the good news of Jesus Christ. That’s why the passion that I have is that they too, will know the good news of Jesus Christ and know him in a real way.” Pugyao adds that the vision of groups like Wycliffe Bible Translators and its partners is: “…to translate the Scriptures in the hearts of those two-thousand more languages by the year 2025. I’m praying that other mission organizations would take the vision and the passion to go and disciple and make these people grow.”
