On staff for TOTAL It Up! mobilization courses, Neal teaches some of the classes and facilitates others. Participants experience the teachers, a monolingual demonstration, language learning with speakers of a foreign language, morning devotions, visits in homes of Wycliffe members for ethnic dinners each evening, after-dinner speakers, morning devotions speakers, tours of the JAARS Center and Alphabet Museum, continental breakfasts, lunches in Townsend Dining Room, and housing … whew! If you got out of breath reading that, think of actually experiencing this non-stop inspirational and informative course lasting from Sunday night till Friday afternoon! We pray God uses it to call more people into Bible translation and its support.
