s0uNdz & 5yMb0Ls...Say What?!

Sounds & Symbols, or Phonetics, has been consuming much of our time as of late.  This class, in particular, has been one of the ones that we have been looking forward to for many years!  In it we are breaking down all of the sounds that the human body can make, not just the ones we make in English.



Some might ask "why are you learning Phonetics?  I thought you were at 'Bible school'?"  

While some of our classes include Bible courses, we are here to train how to learn and translate the Bible into an unknown language, with many of them being only spoken languages.  So a thorough understanding of how languages are formed, and how each sound is made and represented is vital for us to reach this goal.

 Jesus said:

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..."

For us, that word "all" means just that, all.  There are over 2,000 people groups that do not have God's Word in their heart language, and we want to be a part in seeing that number reduced!  

So here we are, in a class with 23 students who share this same passion...studying phonetics...so that one day more people will be able to know and read God's love story to them.  If we learn how they speak, we will then be able to tell them the freedom and hope they can have through Jesus!
