We are Global Diaspora
Today, 1 in 30 people are classified as migrants by the UN. Diaspora people are scattered from their homeland, whether by choice or not, but they still have a connection with it. Our team is excited to work with these communities in developing their languages, live healthier and better lives, and in accessing the information and materials they wish.
Trauma Healing for Diaspora
Come and see: Glimpses of Trauma Healing at Dzaleka Refuge Camp
Life Hurts. God heals. Come and bear witness to the transformational work of Trauma Healing that is spreading throughout Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi, Africa. Not only are refugees in the camp engaging and understanding Scripture in powerful ways, they are training and empowering others to flourish with them in community using the languages they value most.
Bible Translation for Diaspora
We love this great example of diaspora communities working together across continents
The Kunama Bible translation process is unique because the community is displaced from their home country of Eritrea and are dispersed around the world. The Kunama New Testament team works from North America while the Old Testament team works from Ethiopia. The translators have overcome significant obstacles and challenges, but they serve faithfully and humbly to bring Scripture to the Kunama diaspora.
