Subject: The Story of William Tyndale

A Dramatic Historical Presentation

Dear Families, 


Please join us for this unique Message of the Month


This year marks the 500th anniversary of the Tyndale translation of the Bible. The November Message of the Month is a dramatic presentation of William Tyndale, the English Reformer who gave his life to translate the Bible into English.

Pastor John Huffman portrays Tyndale in both monologue and period-appropriate attire. As Tyndale, he recounts his education, his discovery of Erasmus’s Greek New Testament, and the burning conviction he held that even the “plow boy,” or every common person, should know as much Scripture as the priests. 


Arrested and eventually executed in 1536, Tyndale’s dying prayer—“Lord, open the King of England’s eyes”—was soon answered when Henry VIII authorized English Bibles in every church. Pastor Huffman emphasizes Tyndale’s enduring legacy, and he challenges listeners to treasure the Scriptures and use their gifts to spread God’s Word.

In this anniversary year of the Tyndale translation, we especially praise the Lord for the gift of the Bible translated so that we may read it in our own language. How blessed we are as a nation to have ready access to God’s Word! May God give us a hunger for His Word—to read it, meditate on it, and to let it fill our hearts each and every day.


In Christ,
