Seeing Scripture: Sign Language Translation

 

In 2021, we celebrated the dedication of the entire translated American Sign Language Version (ASLV) of the Bible! ASL is the first* sign language to have the complete Bible, but there are more than 390 known sign languages in use around the world today. Of these, more than 70 have at least some Scripture.

 

Meet Martha, a translation consultant in training, and Bob, a sign language consultant trainer, who will share the steps in a sign language translation project and the impact consultants have on sign language translations and how you can get involved.

 

When: On Demand

 

Where: From wherever you are! (Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android.)

 

Our one-hour online webinars are designed for you to hear from Wycliffe missionaries serving around the world. You’ll get to learn about a variety of topics ranging from Bible translation to the global Church to practical tips for serving and more! We hope you’ll join the conversation.
