    Episode 6 - Anxiety and Joy in Tanzania

    The missionary enterprise is marked by discomfort. I won’t mince words here. Living cross culturally is a grind and the stress and pressure can wear on you. From afar it may seem romantic, but the reality of living in the developing world away from your family and friends will dissipate the romance rather quickly. The mission mandates of Jesus found in the Gospels and Acts do not promise physical safety or comfort. In fact, in his last days on earth, Jesus even told his disciples that they would experience trouble. On this, the Savaiko’s will tell you – that despite the difficulties they have endured living cross-culturally – they have found great joy in obedience. Thanks for following along with Translators – season 1. For more information about the Savaiko’s, or if you would like to partner with the Savaiko's ministry, visit their Wycliffe ministry page https://www.wycliffe.org/partner/savaikos . One other note is the Savaiko’s will be on furlough from July 1st to January 1st, they would love to connect with you. You can also follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/casttter to hear more information about future stories we are working on or take a look at our Zazzle store that helps us spend more time telling missionary stories.

    Episode 5 - The Task of Translation

    There are around 7,000 languages spoken in the world today. One of the greatest barriers to a people hearing the gospel is a Bible or at least some part of the Bible in their mother tongue. All over the world countries have national languages, but often those are used to supply a common language for people to communicate in the day to day tasks of life like business, education, and government. However, the language people speak at home or that fills their internal dialogue that they contemplate their deepest thoughts is their mother tongue. These are the languages that represent those that do not have a Bible. All the world’s major languages like Mandarin, Arabic, English, Spanish and so on, have a Bible and have had for a long time. Of the 7,000 languages worldwide around 5,000 have the full bible, portions of the Bible, or a current translation project in process to translating portions of the Bible. That leaves around 2,000 languages needing a translation project to begin. Wycliffe and other Bible translation organizations like Pioneer Bible Translators are out to change this. In episode 5 of Translators, Ben and Rose talk about this Translation effort in Tanzania.
