   What do art and missions work have in common? Well, Michael Harrar, for one. Fresh out of art school in the early 1980’s, Michael wanted to make a difference in the world. For yeas, he felt a strong push toward missionary work.

   Michael was ready and willing. Now it was time for God to show him what to do next. And, of course, He did. As graduation was nearing, Michael picked up a magazine one day from Wycliffe Bible Translators. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he read the words, “Artist Wanted.”

   So Michael joined the Bible translation organization and took an assignment in Colombia, South America, where he began illustrating portions of Scripture and reading primers.

   Together, Michael and his wife Beverly have served with Wycliffe Bible Translators for 30 years, helping to bring God’s Word to people in a language they can understand. Much of that time has been spent in Papua New Guinea, where Michael was involved in a project to create Bible storybooks and other literature in dozens of languages. Beverley taught English at Ukarumpa International School.

   Today, Michael continues to serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators, where he spends much of his time recruiting artists and training national artists, helping them discover how they can use their talents to help bring the Bible to their people and others in the language of their hearts.

   You are invited to join Michael at Wycliffe Associates banquet on Sat. November 20th at Father’s Vineyard, 724 Oakland Rd., in Spindale at 7PM for an inspirational look at how people of all backgrounds are working together to accelerate Bible translation around the world. Call 828-248-5674 or 1-800-461-0197 for complimentary tickets to this special event. Please make reservations.
