Workshop

Title: Keys to heart and mind: language learning, and Bible translation

Description: The first hurdle in communicating across cultural boundaries is often learning a new language. But learning someone else's heart language is not just an obstacle - it's actually a prime way to express an appreciation for another culture and build friendships. And for any church to be strong, the people must have God's Word in their own language. About 3000 language groups today do not know that God speaks their language and do not have one verse of the Bible in their language. What challenges and opportunities face us in language learning and in Bible translation and literacy in the world today?
