Competency in the language may be demonstrated through a variety of ways: written letters from speakers of the language, written letters from mission colleagues, materials published in that language that you have authored or an examination administered. The objective of this language requirement is that you will be drawing upon the indigenous language for an understanding of the culture and thought processes of those people to whom you minister.
