The people trained in this program are graduates of YWAM’s Masters degree in Applied Linguistics for Bible Translation (Mali BT). They were invited to be part of the Mali CT pilot because of their prior experience with Bible translation, storying, or the Jesus Film. They are all committed to continuing to serve the OBT ministry as trainers and mentors for a new contingent of OBT practitioners in YWAM.
