Take time to pray that God makes a way!
• Let’s spend 5 – 10 minutes discussing these issues:

overseas share a little of your experience!• THEN TAKE TWENTY MINUTES to pray in

Language, linguistics and learning styles
• Language is central to everyone’s culture.
• Linguistic approaches are constantly being improved in the way that an unwritten language is analysed and then used.
• Most of the 2100 language groups without Scripture are described as oral cultures. Learning styles are VERY different from those of the West.
