口译圣经

口译圣经和参与的培训与工具

80% of the world’s population are oral learners—people who do not read or prefer to learn through spoken communication. This percentage is even higher among unreached people groups. Oral learners are not necessarily illiterate; they simply prefer to learn through storytelling and oral communication.

For the oral majority of the world to be able to truly engage with the living Word, Scripture must be translated and shared in ways they can understand and engage with. Traditional text-based approaches do not effectively “speak their language”.

In the Original (Old) Testament, God provides a model for discipling an oral nation. Drawing from the rich resources of the Bible’s language, land, culture, and historical context, we seek to serve as a Kingdom multiplier by developing programs, materials, and tools for oral Bible translation, storytelling, and Scripture engagement.  We also work to create innovative ways for highly oral communities to access and engage with the whole Word.

教育和工具

We offer accredited courses and internships as part of our various degree programs to train the next generation of Bible translators, current Bible translators, and Bible translation consultants in training.

We also offer short courses, workshops, and seminars in Oral Bible Translation and Scripture engagement around the globe together with our partners.
