Visit to CCCI and Wycliffe Bible Translators Headquarters

Our Titusville Spring Perspectives class was invited to join a prayer group which met last week at Campus Crusade for Christ International (CCCI) Headquarters to pray for oral missions. Orality is thought, and its verbal expression in societies where the technologies of literacy (especially writing and print) are unfamiliar to most of the population.

We ate lunch at Wycliffe Headquarters as Galen Miller introduced the StoryRunners,  a mission of CCCI to help  effectively communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ to unreached people groups—even people with no scripture or written language. Following was a mini behind-the-scenes tour of Wycliffe Bible Translators.

Back at CCCI, we went through the Jesus Film Project tour. I won't forget  the "Wall of Honor" of persons who died in the process of scripture translation. More pictures and stories will soon be added to the wall.

A number of us in the tour group were moved to tears viewing a DVD depicting the impact  the Jesus Film in a new language translation funded by one couple had on its first audience.

Lastly we had opportunity to purchase the Jesus Film and some other resources and a few more minutes of fellowship.

Wow! The day was too short. It only whetted my appetite to learn more about orality, Bible Storying and the various ministries and methods to reach unreached peoples.
