Dale Huff
Dale served as the director of the CBT in Haiti with our second class. He
continues to come down several times a year to teach special seminars for our
students and graduates. He also visits the graduates and their congregations
to encourage them in their work for the Lord.
Dale directs our academic program and has been active in developing materials
for our translation project. In 2006, Dale will be deeply involved in developing
class materials, training the graduates in how to teach them and translating the
study guides into Haitian Creole for use in our Annex schools.
A Message from Dale about our Translation Project:
During the last two years, David Dirrim and I have been working with
Haitian preachers on translating materials into Haitian Creole for use by
preachers and churches.
The Life of Christ course from Sunset International Bible Institute has
been translated into Creole. We are now in the process of making
revisions and corrections. We have used this first project to explore
methods of translation and correction that will be the most effective.
Haitian Creole literature is in its early stages which makes the
translation of Biblical teaching material both important and challenging.
Written Creole is taking shape in Haiti, but there are many
disagreements over word usage. Vocabulary often differs from city to
city and even more from region to region. There is an effort going on
to try to standardize Creole literature, but it is a difficult process. The
scarcity of other Creole literature makes the project of producing
Biblical teaching material exciting even with its challenges.
In addition to large works, such as the Life of Christ, other smaller
studies are being translated as they are taught at the Center for
Biblical Studies. As these smaller works are compiled and printed, a
collection of Haitian Creole material for preachers and churches of
Christ should begin to emerge. If the Gospel of Christ can be made
more clear in this material, good fruit will surely follow.
