Translating The Chosen: Faith in Every Tongue
Faith Facts
- Rita Damásio joined a global team translating The Chosen to make Jesus’ story available in 600 languages.
- Translation work helps deepen understanding of Scripture and brings God’s Word closer to people’s hearts.
- Millions worldwide are encountering the Gospel in their native languages for the first time through faithful translation.
Rita Damásio’s journey began with a desire to watch uplifting content with her daughter, which led her to The Chosen and ignited a calling to translate it for her community.
Driven by her faith, Rita became part of a dedicated team focused on making Christ’s message personal and accessible across cultures.
“This needs to be translated into your language. You are the one to do it.”
She found that translation does more than bridge languages; it brings people closer to biblical truth and reveals new facets of God’s Word.
Rita’s experience highlights the importance of both accuracy and intimacy in conveying the Gospel, choosing language forms that reflect closeness to Christ.
“I imagine Jesus speaking in Portuguese and I learn what He wants to say.”
Through translation, many families are touched by God’s love in their own language, fulfilling the Great Commission and uniting believers worldwide.
“Bringing scripture and God’s story close to others through their native or heart language via translation lets God speak to them directly, and powerfully intimately.”
This sacred work reminds us that there are still hundreds of languages without a Bible, inspiring believers to press on in sharing God’s Word.

African Churches Outpace Leader Training – Faithful Educators Seek God’s Guidance in Revival Potential
Faith Facts
- The Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA) celebrates its 50th anniversary in Bishoftu, Ethiopia, under the theme “Future Ready, Mission Faithful.”
- Rapid church growth across Africa outpaces theological training, leaving many pastors without formal education.
- ACTEA promotes accreditation, modular programs, online learning, and church partnerships to equip biblically grounded leaders.
The General Assembly unites educators from 31 countries, including Association of Evangelicals in Africa leaders, to address cultural shifts, technology, and ministry demands.
This milestone honors ACTEA’s 1976 founding to ensure evangelical institutions uphold high standards amid continent-wide revival.
“Church growth in Africa has been phenomenal, but theological education has not grown at the same pace,” Tarus said.
“The challenge is how to train enough leaders while maintaining strong theological standards.”
“The church in Africa needs leaders who are both spiritually grounded and theologically equipped,” he said.
Join in prayer for ACTEA’s vision to fortify Africa’s church with Scripture-faithful pastors advancing God’s kingdom.
