Chances are that if you’re reading this article, then you also have access to a copy of the Bible. Maybe you’ve had a copy your whole life. Odds are that your copy of Scripture is in your own language.
However, there are many people out there who have no access to Scripture in their own tongue. According to a partner of Wycliffe Bible Translators, there are still 1,919 languages awaiting a translation process to begin. The majority—1,576—do not have any known Scripture whatsoever.
Wycliffe Bible Translators, along with its partners, wants to make the gospel available to all by 2025. (Courtesy of Wycliffe Bible Translators)
These numbers present themselves as a challenge. Wycliffe and many of its partners would like to accept the challenge.
We believe that God is using Wycliffe Bible Translators, along with our partners, to hasten the return of Jesus Christ,” Creson explains.
“Our firm belief is that part of God’s mission for Himself and for the communities of the earth is that He wants to invite people into a relationship of reconciliation with Him,” Creson explains. “Our sin created a barrier between us and God. [This] Good News message, this hope that we have in Jesus, is communicated by the gospel message, which is inherent in the Scriptures from the Old Testament clear through to the New …continue reading at news.charismanews.com

Unfortunately, the church forgot the real message of Jesus a.s. (in peace in heavens) and church has taken up totally a wrong course.
I record the real message of Jesus a.s. as given in the Quran:
Jesus said, “O children of Israel, I am a messenger of God (Allah) to all of you, I authenticate whatever is before me of the Torah and I give you good news of a messenger who will come after me, his name is Ahmad….” Verse 61:6/7.
According to the above verse of the Quran, Jesus a.s. had two or three main missions:
0. To inform that he was a messenger from God.
1. To authenticate and support teachings of Torah.
2. To give good news about some one coming after him, i.e. a messenger named Ahmad.
This is important because Holy Bible (called Injeel in Arabic) means good news. Jesus a.s. did his best when he was preaching. But when he came to know that the elders were bent on misleading people and bent on enmity, he gave some good news to his followers. The same (good news) are mentioned in Quran and Holy Bible, gospel of John chapter 16, verses 12-14. see below:
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Instead of preaching the good news, church is preaching death of Jesus a.s. on the Cross for the sins of humanity!
There is more stress on that death and nothing is being said about repentance or the good news.
Jesus a.s. had definitely given the good news of some one coming after him.
Jesus a.s. was a comforter and he said “God will give you another comforter (like him).
So it has to be a man, not a spirit. In words of John, it is referred to as “He …, he …, he…”. That comforter will be a man and he will also be helped by the holy Spirit.
Christians have to find out where is that comforter. They have to forget the death on Cross which happened (or not happened). That was not the subject of Jesus a.s. preaching. The subject was repentance and good news for the future for the followers of Jesus a.s.
