We serve as conveners, connectors, and advocates—helping teams succeed by offering training, mentorship, funding pathways, and project oversight. Representing different regions of the world, each member walks alongside translation teams, helping them navigate challenges, steward resources, and stay aligned with the broader vision and YWAM values.

TENTANG KAMI
Kenapa Shema?
Shema (שמע) adalah kata Ibrani yang terdapat dalam Ulangan 6, menyerukan seluruh umat Israel untuk mendengarkan dan menginternalisasikan firman Tuhan di dalam hati mereka. Konsep ini sangat familiar dalam penerjemahan Alkitab, karena tim sering kali menginternalisasi suatu bagian sebagai bagian dari proses penerjemahan mereka.
Shema YWAM adalah tentang mendengarkan, menghormati, dan belajar satu sama lain untuk lebih memenuhi panggilan generasi kita.
Kami berkomitmen untuk berbagi cerita dari setiap generasi dan seluruh dunia, menghadirkan perspektif, keragaman, dan kesatuan.
Shema adalah komunitas praktik—ruang untuk percakapan, kerja sama, dan pertumbuhan yang ditawarkan oleh UofN. Kami mengundang tim penerjemah untuk:
Bagikan kesaksian dan cerita tentang apa yang sedang Tuhan lakukan.
Bagikan kebutuhan doa, perjalanan, dan tantangan mereka.
Berpartisipasi dalam pembicaraan, lokakarya, dan forum.
Kata-kata ini harus ada di hatimu. Bicaralah tentangnya ketika Anda duduk di rumah dan ketika Anda berjalan di sepanjang jalan, ketika Anda berbaring dan ketika Anda bangun.
