"EnterMission" and My work in the Discovery Cafe



Hi...from Linda at Wycliffe..My work at Wycliffe has been in the Discovery Cafe....This cafe is across from the "Discovery Center".  The Discovery Center is a place that people can come for a tour to learn about Bible Translation around the world.  We are amazed at how God's word is spreading through this ministry and it makes God's word seem even more precious to us, when we realize that there are still so many people groups around the world that do not have the Bible translated in their heart language.  I am working in the cafe with other volunteers - we serve approximately 150-200 people a day.  I have never done this type of work before and I am really enjoying volunteering my time in the cafe.  The patrons that we serve are the Wycliffe employees, and also people from many nations.  Next week we will be serviing a group of missionaries that are coming for a training program called "Equip".  It will be so interesting to hear the stories of how God led them here - and then where they will be serving.


This morning we had a program called "EnterMission".  The focus was on a people group in Panama, the Kuna tribe, that had God's word translated in their language.  It was very moving to see the people get their Bibles for the first time.  They were so thrilled.  How often here in the States do we take the Bible for granted!
