Summary: <a href="http://www.missionarytalks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/myers10.jpg"></a>Tanzania is <a title="Tanzania in Google Maps" href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=100915527060523135690.00048ffd889fc69a79663&z=6">a country in East Africa</a> where Rodney Myers and his family serve as missionaries. They work with the Datooga tribe as church planters. Bro. Rodney shares a bit about the Datooga tribe and the recent publication of the Datooga Bible. One of the things we talked at length about was linguistic training and how it can be a benefit to the missionary. This is true if a missionary is going into a tribal setting where there might not be a formal language school, but also for missionaries going to minister in a language that is not their native tongue. Bro. Rodney mentioned <a title="Classes at BBTI" href="http://www.baptisttranslators.com/content/category/2/5/33/">the linguistics program that he attended</a> and later gave me some resources of linguistic interest.
