About
Just a few months ago, we celebrated the dedication of the entire translated American Sign Language Version (ASLV) of the Bible! ASL is the first* of over 350 sign languages to have the complete Bible, but over 70 million Deaf are still waiting for access to Scripture.

Meet Martha, a translation consultant in training, and Bob, a sign language consultant trainer, who will share the steps in a sign language translation project and the impact consultants have on sign language translations and how you can get involved.

This webinar will be interpreted live into ASL.

Explore Wycliffe Live is a free, one-hour online event designed for you to hear from Wycliffe missionaries serving around the world. You’ll get to hear about a variety of topics ranging from Bible translation to internship opportunities to trauma healing and so much more! We hope you’ll join the conversation!

Can't attend it live? Register anyway, and we'll send you the recording after the event!

*This is based on the translation standards established by the Forum of Bible Agencies International. The American Sign Language Bible was completed by Deaf Missions in collaboration with partners like American Bible Society, Seed Company, DOOR International, Deaf Bible Society, Pioneer Bible Translators and Wycliffe Bible Translators USA.
