Atualização da nossa política de inatividade da Conta do Google

Posted by religion world Tuesday, August 15, 2023 0 comments

Todos os dias, o Google trabalha muito para proteger você e suas informações particulares impedindo o acesso não autorizado à sua Conta do Google com nossas proteções de segurança integradas. Para isso, temos práticas de privacidade fortes em nossos produtos, que minimizam o tempo pelo qual armazenamos seus arquivos pessoais e quaisquer dados associados a eles. Queremos proteger suas informações particulares e impedir qualquer acesso não autorizado à sua conta, mesmo que você não use mais nossos serviços.

Por isso, estamos atualizando o período de inatividade das Contas do Google para dois anos em todos os nossos produtos e serviços. Essa mudança começa a ser lançada hoje e será aplicada a qualquer Conta do Google que estiver inativa, ou seja, que não foi conectada nem usada em um período de dois anos. Uma conta inativa e o conteúdo dela estarão qualificados para exclusão a partir de 1 de dezembro de 2023.

Como isso afeta você:

  • Essas mudanças só vão afetar você se a sua Conta do Google estiver inativa há dois anos ou se ela não tiver sido usada para fazer login em nenhum serviço do Google há mais de dois anos.
  • Embora as mudanças entrem em vigor hoje, a primeira exclusão de conta só vai acontecer em dezembro de 2023.
  • Se a sua conta for considerada inativa, vamos enviar vários lembretes para ela e para os e-mails de recuperação (se houver) antes de tomarmos qualquer medida ou excluirmos o conteúdo da conta. Esses e-mails de lembrete serão enviados pelo menos oito meses antes de qualquer ação ser realizada na sua conta.
  • Depois que uma Conta do Google é excluída, o endereço do Gmail dela não pode ser usado novamente ao criar outra Conta do Google.

Como manter sua conta ativa?

A maneira mais simples de manter uma Conta do Google ativa é fazendo login pelo menos uma vez a cada dois anos. Se você tiver feito login na sua Conta do Google dentro desse período, ela será considerada ativa e não será excluída.

Outras maneiras de manter a conta ativa:

  • Ler ou enviar um e-mail
  • Usar o Google Drive
  • Assistir um vídeo do YouTube
  • Compartilhar uma foto
  • Fazer o download de um app
  • Usar a Pesquisa Google
  • Usar o recurso "Fazer login com o Google" em um app ou serviço de terceiros

Esta política tem algumas exceções. Os exemplos incluem: uma Conta do Google com vídeos, canais ou comentários do YouTube, uma conta que tenha um vale-presente com saldo monetário ou uma conta que tenha um aplicativo publicado (como um app que hospeda outro na Google Play Store). Consulte outras exceções à política neste link.

Também oferecemos ferramentas para gerenciar sua Conta do Google e opções para fazer backup dos dados, incluindo a possibilidade de fazer o download deles usando o Takeout. Além disso, você pode usar o Gerenciador de contas inativas para planejar o que vai acontecer com seus dados se a conta ficar inativa por um período específico.

Nossa prioridade é que, se você escolher deixar a conta ativa, não tenha dificuldades com isso. Vamos garantir que você receba um aviso adequado antes que uma conta seja afetada por essa mudança. Assim, vamos enviar notificações prévias para a Conta do Google e para o e-mail de recuperação dela, caso tenha sido fornecido, informando sobre a exclusão. Verifique se o seu e-mail de recuperação está atualizado.

Wycliffe Associates’ Operation Clean Water Creates Outreach Opportunities for Local Churches in Asia and Africa - Wycliffe Associates | Accelerating Bible Translation

 

(Orlando, Florida, USA)—Wycliffe Associates, an international organization that empowers mother-tongue Bible translators and partners with local churches in the advancement of Bible translation, is building bridges for sharing translated Scripture in Asia and Africa by providing clean water systems in remote communities.

“We’ve seen how God uses a clean water system to draw men, women, and children to faith in Christ,” says Stephen Martin, Vice President of Field Development. “At the water stations pastors and national Bible translators sometimes read aloud the Scriptures they’ve most recently translated.”

Through its Operation Clean Water initiative, Wycliffe Associates supplies tools and training for local Christians to dig water wells and build clean water systems for their villages.

National Bible translators work to deliver the translated Scriptures to their language communities, yet many of the people they hope to reach with God’s Word are struggling to survive without clean water.

Little to no clean water is available to them, and sometimes the only water they can access is filthy and disease ridden. In some cases, the nearest water source is located hours from their homes, reachable only on foot over difficult, dangerous terrain.

“A clean water source becomes a hub for an entire community, a place where believers will share the newly translated Word of God with their friends and family members,” says Martin.

In one village, a woman known as “Alina” (real name withheld for security reasons) struggled to care for her husband and three children. She made a long, daily trek to the nearest river, where she retrieved dirty water for her family.

Then local Bible translators and church leaders installed a clean water system in the heart of her village. On the first day she went to the water station, a local pastor was reading aloud from the Bible in Alina’s language. Alina gave her life to Jesus Christ that same day. When she returned home with the clean water, she told her husband what happened. A week later, he attended a church service with Alina, where he, too, heard the Scriptures in his language. Now Alina and her family are committed Christians and are active in their church.

Wycliffe Associates has built 38 water systems and plans to construct additional systems in Africa, Asia, and South America over the next year.

Press Release - Nigeria Relief

Posted by religion world Monday, November 15, 2021 0 comments

 

We partnered with a church in Nigeria to get relief to areas impacted by terrorist attacks.  Attached is our release.

Wycliffe Associates Partnering with Nigerian Church to Bring Relief and Hope to Victims of Islamic Militant Attacks

 

(Orlando, Florida, USA)—Wycliffe Associates, an international organization that empowers mother-tongue Bible translators and partners with local churches in the advancement of Bible translation, is working to relieve suffering for Nigerian Christians through its Emergency 911 Fund.

Between January and August of 2021, more than 267 people in Nigeria have been killed, 246 houses have been burned, and more than 20,000 hectares of farmlands have been destroyed by Fulani Jihadists. In August, 2021, Fulani Jihadists attacked more than 17 villages and killed 70 people. Fifteen communities within the Zonzon and Zonkwa districts have been completely razed.

“Bible translators and their families have been on the run—trying to find safe shelter and security wherever they can,” says Tabitha Price, Vice President of Translation Services at Wycliffe Associates. “Fear and terror have gripped these believers as they suffer tragic losses and hopelessness.”

The crisis has been created by a twofold problem: Islamic militant groups like the Fulani Jihadists and Boko Haram are intent on eradicating Christianity, and dwindling grazing lands are forcing Fulani herdsmen into Christian communities

In addition, Boko Haram has publicly declared its mission of eliminating Christianity in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, and entrenching Shariah law throughout the nation, which is 53.5 percent Muslim.

The Southern Kaduna region of Nigeria has become a hot spot where militants are carrying out killing, banditry, kidnapping, and destruction almost daily. Meanwhile, a case study in the Miango community has recorded more than 200 widows and approximately 800 orphans.

Wycliffe Associates has partnered with the relief foundation of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in Nigeria to provide emergency aid to those who have been attacked or affected by the attacks, especially widows and orphans. Wycliffe Associates is currently raising funds to send to the ECWA.

The ECWA is the largest single evangelical church in the northern part of Nigeria and has suffered severe attacks and casualties, including the murders of its own church members and an ECWA pastor.

Along with providing food, bedding, and clothes, ECWA hopes to purchase building materials to help victims renovate their houses when security improves, and they can return to their villages.

Radio signals directed to isolated language groups in closed countries and regions is allowing Bible translators to get the job done.

 

Thank you!

Wycliffe Associates Turns to “Old” Technology to Bring the Scriptures to Isolated Language Groups

 

(Orlando, Florida, USA)— Wycliffe Associates, an international organization that empowers mother-tongue Bible translators and partners with local churches in the advancement of Bible translation, has begun transmitting Bible translation training and ministry support materials via radio signals.

The organization has discovered language groups in isolated places that are without the Scriptures in their language and can’t be reached by other Bible translation strategies.

“Who could have predicted that God would take us back to radio, a communication technology 70 years older than Wycliffe Associates?” says Tim Neu, Chief Operations Officer. “Yet this is the only means of reaching some people, even in 2021. It takes the ‘old’ to bring in the new.”

Some of the language groups are located in geographically isolated places without infrastructure, roads, or access. Other language groups are unreachable due to repressive governments that are opposed to the Christian faith. The Internet is monitored, and it’s impossible for Christians or Americans to travel to these regions.

“In our earliest efforts, the results have been amazing,” says Neu. “In one African country, we broadcast into a majority-Muslim region. A believer immediately made his way to a telephone, found a way to speak without being overheard, and called us. In spite of the dangers, he was eager to start translating Scripture for his people.”

Wycliffe Associates plans to reach 35 new language groups by training mother-tongue translators via radio, reaching across borders to teach Bible translation methods to local believers.

“We have workers ready to begin Bible translation training and support broadcasts,” says Neu.

Wycliffe Associates currently has Bible translation projects underway in 748 languages. To date, the organization has facilitated the completion of 481 New Testaments.

Through its Church Owned Bible translation approach, Wycliffe Associates provides resources, training, tools, and support to empower national Bible translators to translate the Scriptures for themselves as they work in conjunction with their local churches.

May Press Release - "Safe Haven"

Posted by religion world Tuesday, May 4, 2021 0 comments

Here is our May Press Release on how Bible Translators are working around the persecution they face.

 

Thanks

Wycliffe Associates Plans to Establish “Safe Haven” in Countries for Bible Translators Facing Persecution

 

(Orlando, Florida, USA)— Wycliffe Associates, an international organization that equips mother-tongue Bible translators and partners with local churches in the advancement of Bible translation, plans to establish a safe haven in countries for mother-tongue translators who are at risk of intense persecution, even death, because of their faith.

The facility, which will be located across the border from an undisclosed country, will function as a “launchpad” for Bible translation projects in difficult and dangerous regions of the world that potentially will serve millions of people.

“We need to stand with these believers,” says Tim Neu, Interim President/CEO of Wycliffe Associates, “especially seeing how much they have suffered and sacrificed for the cause of Christ.”

Wycliffe Associates has partnered with someone who previously was imprisoned and tortured for his Christian faith. After his release and escape to a nearby country, he was able to purchase land.  His goal is to establish a facility for mother-tongue translators to safely work and collaborate. Wycliffe Associates is currently raising funds to build a facility on the land.

“God is putting the pieces together,” says Neu. “We can be a part of providing them a safe place to translate the Bible!”

Through its Church Owned Bible Translation initiative, Wycliffe Associates partners with local churches that need translations of the Bible in their own language by providing mother-tongue Bible translators with training, equipment, technology, and support to facilitate Bible translation for their language groups.

The organization provides tools such as computer tablets loaded with Bible translation software, Print OnDemand equipment, and Bible Translation Recording Kits consisting of equipment and software to record audio Bible translations in languages that are not written down.

In 2020, Wycliffe Associates helped launch 294 new Bible translation projects and is currently accelerating the work of Bible translation in 68 countries, with 751 Bible translations in progress.

“The Christians are asking for Bibles. They are willing to face the dangers because they are more passionate about God’s Word than they are about their own safety,” says Neu. “We can give them the Scriptures that will speak to the struggle and pain our brothers and sisters in Christ face as they live in this difficult region.”
