Global Gatherhing 2024 Wycliffe Philippines

In a compelling video by Wycliffe Global Alliance, Edith Sola, CEO of Wycliffe Philippines, shares an inspiring story of transformation within the Bugkalot Tribe. Known for their rich culture and history, the Bugkalot people once upheld a tradition of headhunting—a practice deeply ingrained in their identity. Through the dedicated efforts of Bible translators and the translation of God’s Word into their heart language, the tribe discovered a new kind of glory: the hope and love found in Christ. Today, many in the Bugkalot community have embraced faith, turning away from violence to live lives of peace and service.

This story is just one of many unfolding across the Philippines through the work of Wycliffe Philippines. From the mountains to the islands, including a number of tribes in Palawan, Wycliffe Philippines collaborates with dozens of communities to bring the transformative power of God’s Word in their own languages. These efforts highlight not only the value of language but also the deep impact of Scripture in fostering unity, healing, and hope across the archipelago.
