First Nations Version · Rain MinistriesDonate
On August 5, 2025, the same day FNV Psalms and Proverbs was released, Terry Wildman signed a 10-year contract with InterVarsity Press to complete the remainder of the Old Testament for the First Nations Version. The translation will be released in four segments: Genesis through Joshua, Judges through Esther, the Major and Minor Prophets, then the entire FNV Bible, following the completion of the remaining Wisdom books.
When I donate to Rain Ministries what else does my gift support?
Thank you for considering supporting Rain Ministries, the home of the First Nations Version Project, and RainSong Music.
Rain Ministries is a non-profit organization based in Arizona. But we are not just an organization, we are real people working hard to share Creator’s Good Story with others. Terry and Darlene Wildman are the primary directors of Rain Ministries. We have been active in the lives of First Nations people since 1998 and founded Rain Ministries in 2001. We also have a Board of Directors that help by giving us guidance and oversight.
Terry is the lead translator and project manager for the First Nations Version translation of the Bible. An ongoing project that now includes the entire Old Testament. The New Testament was completed and published by InterVarsity Press on August 31st, 2021 and Psalms and Proverbs on August 5th, 2025.
Every year as RainSong Terry and Darlene travel sharing our music and storytelling as we tell the good story of Creator Sets Free (Jesus) across Indian Country and sometimes beyond to other nations.
In June of 2020, a door opened for Terry to mentor the next generation of First Nations leaders through Native InterVarsity. Terry is the Director of Spiritual Growth and Leadership Development serving the Native Staff that minister on college campuses across the U.S. Darlene also helps develop interpersonal relationships with the staff. Please note! All our salary support for Terry’s role in InterVarsity will be through Rain Ministries and not through InterVarsity.
