Volunteer

Going Global

We want to prioritize access to those who are most under-resourced and marginalized when it comes to biblical tools. It’s time for 100% of the world’s population to have access to the biblical languages. For that we need a team of volunteers. We need YOU.

We want to equip the global Church with access to the biblical languages so that they can do quality, sustainable Bible translation and create contextualized, theologically-sound biblical resources in every language where it’s needed. This is one of the most fundamental elements that any translation or church needs. We aim to do this by providing all our resources as Public Domain so that they can be translated into the strategic languages of wider communication. This is a massive undertaking.

That’s where you come in.

  • Share Alpha with Angela on other social media platforms.
  • Promote these lessons in your community – Tell others about Alpha with Angela and promote the importance of the Biblical Greek for Bible translation.

Skills and help needed

  • Artists/Animators – if you’d like to donate your artistic skills to help the world learn Biblical Greek (and get your work seen by thousands of people), please send us some samples of your work!
  • Administration – Help with administration like managing the website, social media posts, coordinating volunteers and other administrative tasks. 

Do you possess advanced Koine Greek skills? We invite you to get in touch with us and share information about your background and training in Greek. You may have the opportunity to join one of the following teams:

  1. Grammar Lessons: We are looking for a team to create straightforward written grammar lessons to complement our video lessons. Experience with teaching using comprehensible input methods is beneficial but not mandatory. (Check ‘Grammar Lessons for Aleph with Beth’ for reference.)

  2. Vocabulary Lists: In our Resources section, you’ll discover an ever-evolving vocabulary list, meticulously arranged in the order corresponding to the word forms introduced in our lessons. If you would like to contribute by reviewing these lists or if you come across any errors, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

  3. Transcripts: You can help by adding images and keys to the Greek Lesson Scripts and/or conducting typo checks.

  4. Reading Fluency: We are seeking individuals to craft simple Koine Greek reading fluency materials, such as short stories and accessible Bible narratives.

  5. Resources: We require someone to routinely search the internet for high-quality, free Greek resources and keep our Resources page up to date. If you’re studying Koine Greek, please share any free resources you’ve found valuable in your studies and explain why they were helpful.

Your assistance and expertise will greatly contribute to the success of our Biblical Greek website and YouTube channel, which are run by volunteers and offered to the community free of charge
