K2K participants will study a range of subjects, including: What is ‘disciple-making’ all about? Why is Bible translation absolutely essential to ‘making disciples of all ethnic groups’? What is the status of Bible translation worldwide? How can mother tongue speakers be trained to translate the Bible into their own languages? How are translators from all over the world being trained in Jerusalem? What do we learn in the Holy Land that will better prepare us to be effective disciple-makers in Australia and ‘to the ends of the earth’? These are all topics that every Christian would benefit in studying. K2K participants will travel to Israel on November 21/22, 2021, and return to Australia (or to their home countries) on December 10/11, 2021, but the impact of what they will learn on K2K, and on the effectiveness of their disciple-making, will continue, as they are obedient. .
