I try to keep these kinds of stories in my mind to keep perspective. Welcome, Nevada. Thank you for stopping by and sharing about your father-in-law's experience. I think seminarians and pastors in the U.S. are going to quickly find themselves ill-equipped to keep up with their peers in places like Asia and Africa if they don't start changing their attitude (and effort) toward learning the biblical languages. I hope these stories spur them on. Justin, yes, very humbling. I try to keep these kinds of stories in my mind to keep perspective.

My father-in-law has had similar experiences doing short term teaching in the Ukraine. He recalls one older pastor, nearly blind, who had to hold the Hebrew text up to his eyes just so that he could read it... Too bad a few more seminarians here in the states wouldn't have the same passion for the original languages... A wonderful article!
