UPG AND TRANSLATION
QUESTION From: Robert Schroeder <100714.1660@compuserve.com> I would like any statistics and information about strategies dealing with unreached peoples and Bible translation. I need the information for an upcoming speaking engagement at a missions conference in the Czech Republic.

ANSWER From: gene.brooks@juno.com (Gene Brooks) For a non-Western perpective, contact Mariapanadar Alaichamy Paul and Christeena Paul, Ph.D. candidates at Fuller School of World Mission and directors of Orient Bible Translators, a Majority World Bible translation ministry based out of Gujarat: Contact christy@fuller.edu

ANSWER From: Neal Pirolo <Neal_Pirolo@eri.org> It would seem to me that Wycliffe Bible translators, or another Bible translation group, would be the best source for this information. WBT/SIL: phone: 972 708-7433 e-mail: Jim_Walton@sil.org

Jesus Film Macedonian Project
I just returned from Campus Crusade's...conference at CSU in Ft. Collins. There they featured the Macedonian Project, a Jfilm coverage strategy whereby individuals adopt an MPTA (million people target area) and commit to going there at least once from 2 weeks to 2 months within 2 years of their commitment. J film office will provide all the equipment necessary to cover these areas with the film. Have you heard of this? I thought it'd fit in well within the PSA model. Maybe PSA's could utilize this project to recruit a bunch of laymen to show the film and get involved with their unreached people. You can contact the office and have them send you a packet that explains the strategy more. Write Milt Monell at <MMonell@ccci.org>. Source: bkburchell@juno.com (Brian W Burchell)
