Total It Up Program

The better part of last week I spent with several Bible translators and Wycliffe representatives at a 5-day course titled Total It Up (TIU). The purpose of this program is to give aspiring translators a taste of what's involved in Bible translation.

The Bible translated into a person's hear language is essential for personal spiritual growth and is the foundation of the church. Without the Bible, we have no basis for worshiping the God of creation and learning about God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.



We heard from experts in their field in Phonetics, Phonology, Grammar, Translation, Language Learning and much more! It was surprisingly fascinating and I could actually see myself pursuing it further someday. At the very least, it really helped me to understand the kind of work we'll be supporting while we serve with Wycliffe down in Ukarumpa, PNG.

Thanks to all the instructors and the other students at TIU! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and won't forget it!
