Coming soon… Multilingual Worship June 25, 2017
Posted by Pete B in multilingualism, worship.trackback
There are a number of powerful multilingual worship videos where people unite in singing the same song in many different languages. It’s good practice for when you get to heaven.
If you’ve never heard this, listen, and be moved.
– Revelation song in multiple languages.
This can be repeated in many large events and even in smaller congregations.
Here’s the same song sung by teens in 14 languages
Katelin Hanson asks whether attempting multilingual worship is worth it. She concludes it is. Would you feel the same if it was you in a new church in a new land? http://churchleaders.com/outreach-missions/outreach-missions-blogs/161669-katelin_hansen_multilingual_worship_is_it_worth_it.html
Worship is not only multilingual, it is multicultural – even when it’s in English!
Think of music that you associate with the Lords Prayer. I introduced a few people to Cliff Richard’s version “the Millennium Prayer” recently and told others about a somewhat slower version sung by Beach Boys (1964).
Personally I prefer this one sung in English by Shreya Kant (live in Warangal, Andhra Pradesh. This song is from the album Thy Kingdom Come where it also available in Urdu and Punjabi.)
I’ll be writing more on this concept later including some tips on how to be more multilingual in your ministry (in simple manageable steps), and seeing what sites and apps exist to help you find good song and strategies.
Stay tuned!
