  • Staying Connected

    With Japan office hours (9-5) beginning at 5 PM California time, Mark is grateful for the great internet at the house we're staying in which allows him to work with the Deaf team in Tokyo via webcam (see photo). They've completed the second draft of Matthew 11 and 12, and are adding introductory...

  • Ressearch Request

    We’re looking for pictures of Artaxerxes/Xerxes/Ahasuerus (different versions have different names for this king) to help us come up with a sign name for him in our translation of Esther. Any information about him will be helpful as well.

  • Innovations and needs

    Details for those who want them: (Please feel free to ask questions. We want to learn how to present the somewhat technical side in ways that communicate well, and the best way to do this is to find out what isn’t clear.) Praise God for a wonderful report from ViBi (Sign Language Bible translation project...

  • Recording Session, Asia SLBT Planning

    Matthew 1-10 is recorded! Praise God with us for working out many aspects of the timing. The recording session went a day longer than we had hoped, but because of that, our home church pastor was able to be there for the final day of recording. Of course, the recording session itself was very intense...

  • Matthew 1-10 Recording, Asia-wide Comprehensive Planning

    Mark has a full plate with Matthew 1-10 being recorded next week, along with a well-timed visit from a supporting church pastor. The following week starts immediately with four Sign Language Bible Translation (SLBT) leaders from Malaysia, Philippines, China, and Korea coming to work with ViBi leaders...

  • Matthew

    Work continues apace on Matthew, but details abound; lots of small changes to make, and still some checks for consistency in translation to be made. It doesn’t look like the recording session will happen before the year-end break. It has been quite different from the challenges of Genesis. There the...

  • Grant Request

    ViBi’s grant request is submitted! I now know why grant writing is a full-time job for some. It has been a long and arduous process. Pray that my clearly amateur effort on behalf of a Japanese Deaf team that is even farther removed from the high-stakes grant writing scene will find favor with the reviewers...

  • "Flute" research

    Many thanks for the many good answers on the flute. A lot of variety showed in the details of the answers (in fact it could have been a reed instrument rather than a flute), but for the most part, the consensus seems to be that while both kinds of instrument are possibilities, the straight in front variety...

  • Ancient Near Eastern Flutes

    Another request for the researchers among us: In Matthew 9:23, we have a flute. Can anyone tell me how that flute was likely to be played? We’ve done it two ways, off the side of the mouth like your classic modern flute and straight forward like what we called a recorder in elementary school (40 years...
