Bilingual Education: Bridging Communities for Unity
(virtual) Session 5 on Saturday, March 9, from 4:15-4:45 PM (PT)
Christians were commissioned to reach all nations (Mt. 28:19-20). In a world with 7,000+ languages, bilingual education connects cultures beyond words, uniting us globally. English, a lingua franca, is crucial for worldwide bilingualism. Bilingualism goes beyond language instruction, fostering cross-cultural understanding and serving as a bridge to fulfill the global commission.
