Did anyone know that Wycliffe had a regional office in Washington DC?
Me either. But now we all know. So excited to have Wycliffe up here!

da jesus book.
One of the best discoveries from working for Wycliffe Bible Translators. From what I saw when I worked there, Da Jesus Book is one of their best marketing pieces. It is the New Testament translated into Hawaiian Pidgin English.
“God wen get so plenny love an aloha fo da peopo inside da world, dat he wen send me, his one an ony Boy, so dat everybody dat trus me no get cut off from God, but get da real kine life dat stay to da max foeva.”
Do you understand that? Do you recognize it?
It’s John 3:16 in Hawaiian Pidgin.
More? Okay:
“So den, wat bout us guys? All dose peopo dat wen trus God befo time, jalike dey all wen run one race. An now, jalike dey all stay standing aroun us, watching us run da race, an showing us how fo do um. So we gotta gemo all dat stuff dat make us run slow, you know, dat bad kine stuff dat jam us all up. We gotta hang in dea an finish da race dat God wen pick fo us.” – Fo Da Hebrew Peopo 12:1

the World in Words
Today, I was a work. I was getting ready to mop. I plugged in my ipod and started playing one of my favorite pod subscriptions. I yelped as soon as it started and ran to find someone to tell.
It was feature-length piece on an American family who had gone to Indonesia to translate the Bible. And I knew them! It was a couple from Wycliffe, and some of you may know, I worked for Wycliffe last year as I finished university.
So exciting! After I had gotten someone to share my excitement, I went back to mopping and got to hear Sue tell her story of working among the Berik people of Indonesia.
Later, when I got home, I got to email and fb all my Wycliffe friends and tell them that I'd heard the pod.
The show is called "The World in Words" and is run by this guy named Patrick Cox as a co-production of the BBC's "The World", as they tell you on the pod. Anyway, it's really interesting and all about language, linguistic politics, and language change.

where I used to work.
I was trolling through my old blog, and found this. What is below is the original post:
"my .15 seconds of fame"
Wycliffe is a well-recognized organization, and now I get to prove that I actually get to help them.
You were bound to find this on the web and watch it anyway. So I'll just show it to you now, and discreetly point out the blip of a second where you can see me in the video.
That's me at :40, giving a tour of the Discovery Center.
Hoorah for a my job with Wycliffe (at least until the end of the week). After that I have to quit, so I can go to London. But hey, Wycliffe has work to do, at least until 2025, so maybe I'll come back and beg for a niche within the company once again.

the tragedy of moving on.
[Peter, one of the daily presences at work]
I love my job. I love my co-worker. I love the morning routine. I like my department. I like the organization. But I quit. Boo hoo.
It was collateral damage, the price to pay for moving to another country. Before I started working there a year ago, I knew maybe 5% of what there is to know about the organization, and now I know maybe 60%. It's terrible exciting to get to know something better when you enjoy it.
Wycliffe, don't forget me! I will be back in town in a year!

"The World in Words"
This podcast seems to have been hand-designed to interest me. I like everything they talk about, probably because they are talking about everything I like.
It's a podcast all about language.
A weekly podcast exclusively about languages around the world! It's put on by the BBC and Public Radio International (PRI). Patrick Cox is the guy who does the podcast.
He even came to Wycliffe to interview the president about the work Wycliffe does!
I have exhausted all of the episodes on my ipod. But, thankfully, I just discovered this podcast, and it's been going for a while, so I will have a while before I'll hit the only-one-weekly wall.
You can subscribe to it on itunes or find it at theworld.org

this one starts with a little quiz.
.
Digo. Tira. Guanano. Mewkwaki.
.
These are:
a. the names of four cities in Guatemala
b. four types of plants in the Amazon
c. four ancient Mayan gods
d. the names of four languages
Your answer please.
Today at Wycliffe, they had a Scripture celebration. They dedicated Scripture for 11 different languages that were previously without any Scripture or what they had was little or poor.
One of these 11 was actually for a language in the continental US (didn't know we had languages left here, did you?). They have completed several Scripture portions in the Meskwaki language, which is the language of the Algonquian people.
A lot of Algonquians live in the Iowa area, and the languages has just several hundred speakers today. Having the language written down and having literature in the language will help encourage literacy in the language and keep it from dying out.
This is just absolutely incredible. Thousands of people can now hear God speak to them in their own language through his Word.
That's 11 down for Vision 2025!

“God wen get so plenny love an aloha fo da peopo inside da world, dat he wen send me, his one an ony Boy, so dat everybody dat trus me no get cut off from God, but get da real kine life dat stay to da max foeva.”
You might know it more along these lines: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
It’s John 3:16 in the Hawaiian Pidgin language.
More, you demand? Gladly:
“So den, wat bout us guys? All dose peopo dat wen trus God befo time, jalike dey all wen run one race. An now, jalike dey all stay standing aroun us, watching us run da race, an showing us how fo do um. So we gotta gemo all dat stuff dat make us run slow, you know, dat bad kine stuff dat jam us all up. We gotta hang in dea an finish da race dat God wen pick fo us.” - Fo Da Hebrew Peopo 12:1
