Arts and Ethnomusicology Specialists work alongside language communities to encourage them to use their own languages and art forms to give glory to God in culturally appropriate ways. This includes the use of painting and sculpture, dance and drama, stories and songs, as well as local musical instruments and musical styles. They often work with Scripture Engagement Specialists to incorporate translated Scripture in ethnic art forms so that the people can worship God in their heart language.

Responsibilities:

• Research ethnic art and music of a language community to encourage local believers to value their own ethnic art forms.

• Help the community learn how to incorporate Scripture into their artistic traditions.

Qualifications:

• Qualification in music or arts, or relevant experience.

• Previous cross-cultural experience is beneficial.

• Other training may be required by individual projects.
