    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.

    Episode 4 - Life in Tanzania

    The focal point of our 4th episode will be the Tanzanian people. The 55 million people in this East African country are one of the continent’s most diverse populations. There are 150 indigenous people groups and 127 different languages spoken. This is the reason Ben and Rose came to Africa to be a part of the translation of the Bible into the languages without translations. In this episode we’ll learn more about the people, their culture and the Savaiko’s lives there.   LInks   Savaiko Wycliffe Page - https://www.wycliffe.org/partner/savaikos   Wycliffe Web Site - https://www.wycliffe.org/   Savaiko Village Church Page - http://thevillagechurch.net/outreach/missionaries/detail/ben-and-rose-savaiko/   Stats - http://www.thetravelingteam.org/stats/

    Episode 3 - Rose up to Ben

    Growing up, Ben and Rose were separated by a couple years and social circles. Back then it seemed like they wouldn’t have been a match. Timing is what is important here though. If they would have met earlier, it’s likely she wouldn’t have been interested in him and he wouldn’t have been interested in her. However, in the right season they, to even their own surprise came together. What I find interesting is that God was introducing the idea of translating the Bible where it wasn’t, all those years ago before Ben even knew this was something important to him. These two wouldn’t become one for years, but God was preparing Ben’s other half for a significant task right there in front of him, In the same small town, except they wouldn’t speak of it for more than a decade or even speak at all for that matter. In our third episode Rose will tell us where the commitment to becoming a missionary began and just how unexpected Ben’s arrival was.

    Episode 2 - Ben up to Rose

    Some people know what they want to do with their lives and then work towards doing that for a long time. The path to finding their purpose is a direct one. Other people take a meandering path. It takes a long time to discover purpose, but they begin to walk in it soon after discovery. Ben Savaiko took the meandering path. Episode 2 of Translators focuses on Ben and how he discovered his missionary purpose.
