How to Communicate Across Cultures - A Missions for Everyone Workshop

Speaker: Daniel Jesudason

Join us as seasoned Bible translator and literacy specialist Daniel Jesudason teaches us how to pick up language learning skills effectively. He will share essential intercultural communication skills that will serve you well, as you seek to connect across cultures. He will also share how to communicate so that it isn't just a linguistic task, but rather, an avenue to help a person understand and be transformed by God's words in their heart language.

This workshop will be held on a Saturday morning on 12 Jul at the Wycliffe Singapore office at Harper Point, with light refreshments. We anticipate an engaging time with Daniel J and participants. We look forward to seeing you there! Sign up soon as space is limited.
