Since biblical times, scribes have been recognized as those who preserved, recorded, and transmitted knowledge. More than mere copyists, they were guardians of the truth, intermediaries between the laws, the leaders, and the people. Today, when we speak of translation and interpretation—especially in a cross-cultural and spiritual context—this role takes on new meaning. It was from this understanding that the concept of the Scribes of Dreams was born: more than just a brand, it is a life’s mission.
In this article, we will explore the origin of the name, the purpose behind the work of Jana Büchi and JL Nissi, and how the role of a translator can be elevated to an instrument of transformation, reconciliation, and legacy.
Who were the scribes in the biblical tradition?
In the Bible, the scribes were people well-versed in the Law of Moses. They not only copied the sacred texts but also interpreted them, taught them to the people, drafted official documents, and served kings and priests. They possessed authority, wisdom, and a sense of social responsibility.
In passages such as Ezra 7, we see Ezra described as “a scribe well versed in the Law of Moses”—someone who sought to live by and teach what was written. Other scribes served as royal advisors, chroniclers of historical events, and even as jurists who drafted documents with legal standing.
This multifaceted role—as translator, interpreter, teacher, and advisor—resurfaces today in the age of globalization, where the written word remains one of the most powerful tools for connecting people, cultures, and causes.
The Spiritual Perspective on Translation
At JL Nissi, translation services are not merely technical or commercial. They are a tool for bringing people together, building bridges, and upholding the truth. Translation can open doors to education, medical treatment, international contracts, citizenship processes, and even the reunification of families separated by borders.
Translation, therefore, is also an act of faith, care, and responsibility. It requires attentive listening, fidelity to the content, and discernment regarding the context. Just as a biblical scribe needed to understand not only the words but also the spirit of the Law, the contemporary translator must interpret what is being communicated with precision and integrity.
Why "Dream Writers"?
The name “Escribas dos Sonhos” came from the observation that many of the people who seek Jana’s services are not just translating documents. They are taking the first steps toward making their dreams come true: a student visa, the validation of a diploma, an international marriage, launching a business in another country, or seeking medical treatment on another continent.
Every client brings with them a story, an expectation, a calling. And every translated word carries the responsibility of accurately representing what is most precious: their identity, their past, and their future.
Being a Dream Scribe means working with technical excellence, but also with compassion, vision, and commitment.
The Brand as a Ministry

That’s why so many customers come back, refer others, and stay connected. Because they feel that they’ve been listened to, respected, and cared for every step of the way.

The Role of Faith in Daily Work
Jana’s work is grounded in her faith in Jesus Christ. She lives out this faith with humility, service, and dedication. Her integrity, commitment to the truth, and desire to serve each client well are practical expressions of that faith.
"Scribes of Dreams" is also a prophetic call. In a world saturated with noise, confusion, and manipulation of information, there is an urgent need to raise up professionals who write with clarity, translate with honesty, and interpret with responsibility.
Testimonials and Real Stories
Many clients come to JL Nissi with questions, concerns, or frustrations stemming from previous experiences that were not properly resolved. Some did not know they needed a certified translation. Others had been misled by agencies. There are also those who did not feel understood because of language, culture, or faith.
When they experience warm, clear, and efficient service, they come to trust not only the service itself but the entire experience.
These are stories of families reunited, contracts signed, diplomas validated, treatments begun, and visas approved. Stories of dreams that began with a certificate and became a reality.
