Multilingual Ministry: Identifying Languages and Finding Bible and Other Resources
Abstract
Linguistic hospitality and a multilingual approach to both integration and discipleship have many benefits. However, language difference is all too often seen purely as a barrier rather than as a bridge to deeper connection. One challenge that many local churches face in building such bridges of connection is that of finding and using Bibles and other resources in newly arrived people’s languages. This study thus seeks to help answer the following questions: How do you find what languages are spoken by people in your church and community? Why is that such a complex question? How can they find Bibles and other resources both online and, if desired, as printed books?
