First Nations Version Psalms and Proverbs Council Gathering Aug 15-18
2022-08-15 - 2022-08-18 | InterVarsity Press, 430 Plaza Dr, Westmont, IL, 60559, United States
Many have asked if we plan to translate the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). After much prayer, we have decided to do at least Psalms and Proverbs. InterVarsity Press has enthusiastically agreed to publish the finished work.
A new Translation Council of 12 has been formed and is ready to move forward. InterVarsity Press has offered its facility in Chicago to launch the project with an in-person gathering. This was very important for the New Testament translation to bond the council together and do the preliminary work needed to establish the key terms and more.
We are gathering 8 Council Members on August 15-18, 2022 at InterVarsity Press Facility near Chicago. 4 Council Members will join us on Zoom at scheduled times. Also, our consultant for the FNV New Testament will also gather with us along with his wife.
To gather everyone we need your help! We estimate that it will cost about $10,000 for airfare, hotel, and meals. We are planning to gather together from August 15 – 18 2022!

Webinar
Heritage and Hope: Listening to Native American Christian Voices

The American church is incomplete when it overlooks the gifts and perspectives of its country’s Native people. In honor of Native American Heritage Month, this free webinar brings together a dynamic panel of Indigenous Christian leaders to reflect on the blessings and challenges of navigating their Native American identity. What are key concerns for ministry leaders serving Indigenous communities, and how should Christians respond to recent headlines about the “Doctrine of Discovery” and the traumatic legacy of Native boarding schools?

Join us as we explore the history and spiritual issues shaping Native American communities today.
