There are 7,000 different languages in the world. 2,400 of these do not have their own Bible translation which equals over 200,000,000 people. Wycliffe Discovery Center‘s (newly renamed from Wordspring) basic mission according to our guide, Kathy Zoeteway is “To show there’s an urgent need for Bible translation and show people how they can be a part of it”.
From what we experienced from their interactive displays and lectures teaching people all about Bible translations (and even how to read Thai 101) it seems that they are doing just that. What we really appreciated about Wycliffe is that while they’re bringing the Bible into areas across the globe, they’re also spreading literacy and in many cases, helping the people develop a written language. Having this ability to write their native tongue helps with their social status, cultural history and even more practical things like knowing how to read prescriptions given to them.
From the people at the front desk, to the lovely elderly woman helping us at the salad bar it was evident to us that everyone at Discovery Center is not only dedicated to their mission, but also to making sure you get the most out of your $8 admission to this interactive exhibit.
