What is V.A.S.T?

What do you do when there is no written language?

No Written Language?

How do you translate the Bible when no written language exists? How do you make a movie for that people group without a written script?

An Extraordinary Method

VAST is an audio/video based translation strategy – which means the translator is recording, not writing, the translation of the JESUS film. This saves years of time versus awaiting development of a written language before beginning the translation of a JESUS film script for that language. In just five weeks we can go from script translation to a master DVD.

In reaching two billion people who have yet to hear the gospel, VAST is a critical strategy to accomplishing Mission 865 by the year 2025. It is about getting the film produced in the mother tongue of all unreached people groups of 50,000 or more speakers.
