This media team will tell the stories of Breton, Ch’ti and Alsatian speakers in France through the collection of visual media resources, both still and video, while making friendships and engaging in spiritual discussions.
This team will travel through France visiting regions where Breton, Ch’ti and Alsatian are spoken. This team will document the area, language, and people through various media resources (photography, videography, journalism, personal interviews). Raw data will then be used to develop various media resources for the sake of education and mobilising Christians around the world to be involved in the work to reach Breton, Ch’ti and Alsatian speakers with the Gospel through prayer, support, and active engagement.
Good proficiency with photography and especially videography would be very helpful for this assignment. This is a very independent project. Those who require a great deal of direct supervision or instruction should not consider this assignment.

Linguæ Christi has embraced the calling of addressing the spiritual needs of speakers of ALL the indigenous, minority languages in the European/Eurasian context (from Portugal in the West to Siberia in the East). Much as we have done among speakers of Celtic languages for the past 20 years, we intend to begin new work with other European minority languages groups. Over the next 2-5 years specifically, it is our desire to open new work in at least two to three new areas. To begin this work, we want to send some specialised teams of students to do some initial exploring in those areas and among those languages groups.

Language
As the trade language in France is French, it would be very helpful and advisable if interested students (1) already possessed some good proficiency in French before arrival (level A2 or higher), or (2) would be willing to commit to go through our “crash-course” (free and by distance learning) in French before arrival on field. No knowledge of Breton is required or expected before arrival, as an intensive introduction to Breton will be offered as part of the initial, on-field orientation.
This media team will tell the story of Irish speakers in Ireland through the collection of visual media resources, both still and video, while making friendships and engaging in spiritual discussions.
This team will be assigned to a village/town/area that is primarily Irish-speaking and strategic to Linguæ Christi’s overall ministry among Celtic languages speakers. This team will document the area, language, and people through various media resources (photography, videography, journalism, personal interviews). Raw data will then be used to develop various media resources for the sake of education and mobilising Christians around the world to be involved in the work to reach Irish speakers with the Gospel through prayer, support, and active engagement.

This team will explore a particular language group and the area, where they live. Though we have been doing various types of ministry in the Celtic nations for over 20 years, our independent missionary agency/organisation, Linguæ Christi, has now embraced the calling of addressing the spiritual needs of speakers of ALL the indigenous, minority languages in the European/Eurasian context (from Portugal in the West to Siberia in the East). Much as we have done among speakers of Celtic languages for all these years, we intend to begin new work with other European minority languages groups, organised by linguistic affinity. Over the next 2–5 years specifically, it is our desire to open new work in at least two to three new linguistic affinity areas. With that in mind, we would like to send some specialised teams of students to do some initial exploring in those areas and among those languages groups, where Linguæ Christi intends to open new work in the foreseeable future.

This team will be focusing on speakers of Corsican on the island of Corsica. This is a very independent project. Those who require a great deal of direct supervision or instruction should not consider this assignment.
Regarding language, as the trade language is French, though not strictly required, it would be very helpful and advisable if interested students (1) already possessed some good proficiency in French before arrival, or (2) would be willing to commit to go through our “crash-course” (free and by distance learning) in Italian before arrival on field. No knowledge of Corsican is required or expected before arrival, as an intensive introduction to the specific minority language will be offered as part of the initial, on-field orientation.
