One Crazy Gringo
W
ycliffe founder William Cameron Townsend faced the future with openness, spontaneity and creativity. He was an explorer who chose not to follow existing models, but forthrightly forged ahead, believing God was guiding his dreams.
I recently watched the BBC series, Seven Wonders of the Industrial World (which I highly recommend). One particular story of the construction of the Bell Rock Lighthouse resonated with me and with Wycliffe's goal of getting the Bible into the languages of the world. Psalm 119:105 says "thy Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" but many cultures, people groups and languages of the world are still walking around in the dark, their lives and eternities being wrecked by jaggered rocks hidden below the waves that could have been avoided if only they were seen.
REWIRE is about to happen again!
Why: Rewire is a great introduction for people interested in language and culture learning.
