Bible Translation may be more than you think it is...

The Ghana Institute of Linguistics, Literacy and Bible Translation (GILLBT) has the largest print shop in the north of Ghana.  Running this as a business helps provide funds for the organization so that it is not totally dependant on outside funding and also produces many publications that are used in the ministry of providing vernacular scripture and literacy primers... The Discovery team dove into the print shop work!



Bible Translation is a multifaceted ministry involving community development and more... Two of our Discoverers served in The Sisaali Literacy and Development Programme or SILDep.org and instead of using their Hebrew, Greek, or Linguistics skills as many previous interns have used at SilDep,   

they were able to use their skills to help manage a guest house, visit some village level savings groups which are a part of their micro finance intervention work.  And they got involved in making morenga soap and so much more...

Discovery isn't all about the work... there is also a lot to learn and relationships to make.  Having a local host family is a big part of that. 

Helping the community see that their traditional handcrafts are valued and marketable both in Ghana and abroad helps people with maintaining their cultural heritage and enhances their economic well being!
