This Christmas, help a child discover the love of their heavenly Father
Every pound you give before 24 December will be DOUBLED* to help bring God's word to children like Akullu.
Ten-year-old Akullu has never known the love of her earthly father. He was killed before she was born.
But there is a heavenly Father whose love her mum, Ruth, longs for her to discover.
Will you help Akullu discover how deeply her heavenly Father loves her’?
This Christmas, we're stepping out in faith with our most ambitious appeal ever – aiming to raise £1.5 million to help bring God's word to people still waiting.
And thanks to a generous group of Wycliffe supporters, every donation received by Christmas will be DOUBLED, up to our appeal target.
Every child deserves the chance to know God's love
‘For to us a child is born, to us a son is given ... And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting
This Christmas, we will hear in our own language these hope-filled words that point us to Jesus.
But Akullu won’t.
You see, the Bible is trapped in a foreign language that doesn’t speak to her heart.
Today you can help change that.
Growing up in rural Uganda, Akullu has already experienced more tragedy than any child should.
‘When I was four weeks pregnant with Akullu,’ her mum Ruth shares, ‘her father was murdered.’
Akullu has never heard her father tell her he loves her. She’s never had his shoulder to cry on after a difficult day at school, or felt his gentle kiss on her forehead as he tucks her into bed at night.
But shouldn't Akullu have the chance to know just how much her heavenly Father loves her?
This Christmas, your gift - which will be doubled - could help Akullu know deep in her heart just how much her heavenly Father loves her.
What I would love more than anything for Christmas is for my daughter to have a Bible in the same language she talks to her mother in. It's my dream that she will grow up knowing God.
Ruth, Bible Translator Uganda
A mother's Christmas wish
Like many children, Akullu loves Christmas.
‘Christmas means a lot to her,’ Ruth says. ‘First, she knows we will go to church, and the second thing that comes to her mind is: “Mummy has to buy a new dress for me!”’
But Ruth has a very different Christmas wish for her daughter.
‘What I would love more than anything for Christmas is for my daughter to have a Bible in the same language she talks to her mother in. It's my dream that she will grow up knowing God.’
Ruth knows what it's like to grow up hearing God's word in a language she couldn't fully understand. She doesn't want that for her daughter.
That's why Ruth trained to become a Bible translator. Today, she's working alongside others in her community to bring God's word to her people.
She dreams of the day Akullu can open the Bible in her own language, understand God's promises for herself and discover just how deeply her heavenly Father loves her.
But Ruth can't make that dream a reality alone. She needs people like you.
Your gift today could make twice the difference
This Christmas, we're stepping out in faith with our most ambitious appeal ever – aiming to raise £1.5 million to help bring God's word to people still waiting.
Every gift, whatever its size, could help bring the Bible closer to children like Akullu for the first time – each verse with the potential to change lives forever.
Thank you for helping more people discover that the good news of Jesus is for them, too.
*Matched giving is available for eligible donations received by 24 December 2026, up to £1.5 million.
