Diplomas and Certificates were presented to the students by Dr Regine Koroma, TWFTW International Training Director.

A total of 39 students received a Diploma in Bible Translation, and 7 students received Certificates. The diplomates represented 23 different languages of Ethiopia. Most of them were from existing Bible translation projects and a few of them were from possible projects in the near future. Twelve of the diplomates were from SIL Ethiopia translation projects whose training expenses were covered by their respective translation projects.

How suitable is the program for use by bible translators?

Having used an earlier version of BibleWorks for a number of years, and having examined the latest version, BibleWorks 8, I would like to strongly recommend it to all who are engaged in the work of Bible translation. Click here to read the full review.

The value of the program confirms the validity of the following statement from the company vision statement, as is appears on the BibleWorks website.

The purpose of BibleWorks, LLC is to provide pastors, teachers, students, and missionaries with the tools they need to "rightly divide the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15). There are other companies that exist to do this as well, but BibleWorks comes to this task with some unique differences in approach and philosophy: We exist to serve the church, not to make a profit, and all of our business decisions are made with that in mind. Our goal is to provide a complete package containing the tools most essential for the task of interpreting the Scriptures in the original Greek and Hebrew, and to do it at a price that poor pastors and students can afford.
