Training Vernacular Media Specialists

Vernacular [Mother Tongue] Media Specialists help Wycliffe and national translators use media tools that are culturally appropriate. God’s Word in the language of the people shared through video, audio, radio, filmstrips, or drama touches hearts and minds with His life-changing message.

One Pacific island Christian said, "When we read the English Bible, it's like trying to eat the husk of the coconut. But you (the translator) have husked the coconut for us and opened it. Now we can eat the actual meat."
