My Going Story
Hello! My name is Joanna Oudyn and I am a Next Gen student with CCWM. I am studying linguistics and biblical languages right now at Moody Bible Institute to prepare to, Lord willing, serve on the field in Bible translation. God has graciously granted me the opportunity to be a part of a translation project right now! A missionary from Cup of Cold Water Ministries named Rene is serving in Guatemala. One of the projects she is working on is translating a video series of discipleship in biblical sexuality and sexual healing from an organization called Pure Desire into Spanish. There is a great need in the context she is serving in for a restoration in the area of sexuality. These materials are a series of teachings on biblical sexual healing that she has found to be very stellar in the past, and now her goal is to be able to use them in the Spanish-speaking context she serves in. I have the opportunity to be a part of this project of translation and learn from her in the process!
I will be in Guatemala from the 12th of June to the 27th. While I am there, I will have the privilege of staying with a Guatemalan family from her church while I get to build relationships with the rest of the team working on the project (who are Guatemalan people from her church), while getting to assist in the audio-recording. Hopefully while I am there I will get to learn from the tech-head of the project how to help with the dubbing so I can be working on that when I return with the audio we record. Most importantly, though, I will get to walk alongside an experienced missionary and learn from her while also learning about translation work!
I am so excited for this project, as I will get to be a part of a translation process from its beginning to end, getting to enter the conversations Rene and her team will be having as they decide how to translate the words, ideas, and key terms of the project. This will be my first chance to be a part of a translation project and I am so excited!
Joanna is 0% funded with $1,300 left to raise as of May 11th at 10 am
