(USA)–Meanwhile, a strange phenomenon is taking place at the JAARS Center in North Carolina. “We’re having a large amount of visitors for our daily tour program and our monthly program we call JAARS Day. We’ve had 3,551 visitors to see what our work is all about to the JAARS Center since January. We’re really amazed at by what God is doing.” That’s JAARS’ Arthur Lightbody who believes more people are getting interested in outreach, specifically Bible translation. He says JAARS, which speeds Bible translation by providing quality services for Wycliffe Bible translators and others, is making tours a learning experience. “We’ve tried to make it more family oriented. We have sessions for children at their level about what missions is and why we need to tell people. So, that’s made it possible for families to come because they know there’s something for their children.”
