Circle of Grace took a field trip to Wycliffe Discovery Center in Orlando on April 16th.
A few women from other circles came along.
The museum has a small admission, is open daily and there is a tour every hour.
Each of these figure represent an actual person who helped with having the Bible translated into the language their people spoke.
The ribbon that hung above the person had John 3:16 written in their language. There was a button on the information about each area that you pressed to hear the scripture read in that language.
The women in the center does not look like the person who helped with the translation and there is no star on the globe to show the area she is from. It would be to dangerous for her if anyone ever knew who she was or what area has God'd word.
The translations are done out in the field where the people live. There is still a lot of work to be done.
A little history about Wycliffe.
Wycliffe has been translating the Bible for over 75 years.
Our tour guide told us about Wycliffe's founder, William Cameron Townsend.
Listening to the guide telling more about the Wycliffe and how we can help with prayers and donations.
We saw several short videos in this theater and we watch a longer film about a couple who worked as translators at Papua New Guinea.
The museum has many interactive exhibits. Here you were able to type in your name and have it printed out in several languages. A great souvenir, even could have it laminated for a dollar.
Barb, Sharon and Karen had fun dressing up.
We had a nice lunch at their cafe and thanks to Lynn Anders for being the bus driver for the church van. We all enjoyed the trip and encourage others to go.
