Programs for assisting translation teams
to communicate Christian truth effectively
in the audio and video media
They all heard them speaking in their own languages. (Acts 2:6)
Whether a team wishes to present the Christian Scriptures in storytelling or oral translation for audio recording, it is important that they present the message accurately and clearly. It is particularly important that the listeners accept the message as valid. In that way, the message might be effective.
These programs facilitate teams in the communication process and in resolving the issues they might face. These are progressive programs that focus on the audience, rather than producing a product. They offer the teams ways to communicate the New Testament and some Old Testament selections in learnable portions and in graduated levels. They help the teams build into each communication unit a simulation of person-to-person interaction. Such interaction is important because every human usually makes effective changes in his or her life through interactions with other humans, persons whom they trust. The listeners should ‘feel’ that an authentic human is telling them the messages.
