Reviews
"Deborah Balyeat, author of Spanish with a Mission, does not want students to learn Spanish just for the sake of mastering a second language. She wants Christians to learn Spanish with a mission in mind." - Baptist Standard, Feb. 28, 2014 "Deborah Balyeat, author of Spanish with a Mission, does not want students to learn Spanish just for the sake of mastering a second language. She wants Christians to learn Spanish with a mission in mind." --Baptist Standard, Feb. 28, 2014 "Spanish with a Mission is a wonderful resource to prepare you or your group for a mission opportunity to a Spanish speaking country. Deborah Balyeat has done a wonderful job of making this book relevant to missions and ministry needs, and very easy to use as a training tool for your team to prepare for their experience. I am grateful for the work and thought she put into this guide to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I hope you will consider this book for learning the language and the culture for your next mission endeavor to a Spanish speaking people group. " ―Rene Maciel, President of Baptist University of the Americas "Short practical lessons mixed with cultural tidbits makes Spanish with a Mission the perfect language tool for Christians with a cross-cultural mission for learning Spanish. The need for conversational Spanish both in the U.S. and abroad is essential for building relationships and communicating the Gospel. Anyone with a desire to serve Hispanic people will find it easy to build vocabulary, learn verb tenses, and use idiomatic expressions in less than three months. Learning Spanish songs and being able to share a faith story in Spanish equips believers for 'ministry, witnessing, and mission trips'." ―Jim and Viola Palmer, Career Missionaries, Latin America "Spanish with a Mission is the most practical, Gospel-oriented resource on the market today. . . This book will change the future of Spanish missions forever.
