Kvale Connection–March 2011

image

Steve is currently assigned to a Wycliffe/SIL partnership project. SIL is the Summer Institute of Linguistics based in Dallas, TX. The goal for this computer
project is to make more language resources available to language workers
around the world.

It’s also a joy to be able to revisit supporting churches now and share ministry updates. We are looking forward to sharing at a supporting church on the West coast for the first time and attending their district Bible Conference this Spring.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing, by the word of Christ. 
Romans 10:17

Wycliffe Bible Translators and The Seed Company work in partnership with
Faith Comes by Hearing, which produces Scripture in audio form made available to those that cannot read or are in situations where it is inconvenient to keep written materials with them (like soldiers) or maybe they are not allowed to. Wycliffe Bible Translators remains committed to the vision for the Scriptures made available to every people and every tongue.

imageOne of our recent language releases is Akha. About 56,000 speakers in Thailand, the Akha are farmers that have also become known for their artistry. When including the surrounding region, it is believed that nearly 600,000 people speak Akha. And now they can listen to God's Word in their own language!

There is so much more to read about the Kvale’s.  This is just a taste of their informative newsletter.  So check it out here and also know what to pray for the Kvale family.
