One of the exciting things happening at Northwest this year is our relaunching of our undergraduate programs. One program, the Gap Year, launched with a small pilot cohort of five students... But how does Gap Year actually help a person grow spiritually? To find out, we talked to Gap Year student Jordyn Miskiw. Jordyn serves at Burnett Church in Maple Ridge, BC, and embarked on a journey of growing in her faith and gifts for ministry this past year.

As Northwest seeks to expand its undergraduate program, strong accreditation becomes vital. We are pleased to announce that we have moved from Applicant to Candidate Status with the Association of Biblical Higher Education. It takes a further 3-5 years to be granted full accreditation.

The Making of a Good Translation
|
|
|
|
...Regarding the actual work of translating, Don refers to his approach as a “functional dynamic translation.” He explains that many translations accurately reflect a word-for-word English sentence, but simply do not work with Korean conceptions. Hence, a good translation “is really like a reflection of what the English sentence is. It is a rhetorical approach.” To achieve this approach, Don focused on fluency, meaning, and rhetoric...
