The following is taken from the "Pray Today" section of Wycliffe's website. We had the opportunity to sit and visit with this man during our training at the headquarters, so we were especially encouraged by this prayer focus.
“But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God” (Acts 20:24, NLT).
George Cowan, former translator in Mexico and former director of the Bibleless Peoples Prayer Project, began praying for the Sinte Romani speakers of Europe in June, 1983. There are 30,000 Sinte speakers in Serbia alone, with more than 250,000 living in a dozen other European nations. George has been praying for the Sinte speakers for 26 years, but they have waited even longer to receive God’s Word in the language that speaks to their hearts.Praise God! On the very day marking the 26th anniversary of George’s commitment to pray, Wycliffe USA received word that the Sinte Romani New Testament will be published this year!
Here is a short clip of George (who we met in Orlando during our Training Camp)

After 25 years, God is still calling His children to prayer through the Bibleless Peoples Prayer Project. And with over 2,200 language communities around the world still waiting for Scripture, His command to “never stop praying” (1 Thess. 5:17, NLT) seems more critical than ever.
