Workers Bascom and Willie Brown* recently traveled to another country in Africa with several Deaf believers and were able to share a story about Jesus, the Son, being the Resurrection and the Life. For many Deaf, this was the first time to hear a story about Jesus in their heart language. Many were curious and asked questions, wondering how He could raise a dead man to life. During the time of the Incan Empire, young boys called “chasquis” were the communication system of the empire. They had to be able to run fast and to survive the harsh conditions of the Andes Mountains. These young messengers were renowned for their speed in carrying the messages, even while covering tremendous distances. The San Luis group of national believers, who are forming Bible stories into Quechua for the “Story Together Project,” decided to call themselves the “Chasquis de Cristo” or “Messengers of Christ.” They consider themselves to be carrying the most important message of all: the Bible stories in the heart language of the people. The Story Crafting Project across Karnataka, India, is coming together. Believers and nonbelievers from five different languages are being formed into teams of four to six people who will work to craft 200 Bible stories in each language over the next few years. Of these five different languages, only one has a complete Bible, and three of the languages do not even have a written script. * Please pray as Indian translation teams are formed that the individuals will be obedient and excited to take on this large project. * Intercede for this group of Peruvian nationals, asking that they will accurately craft the stories into the Quechua language. * Pray also for Deaf believers as they craft Bible stories into their heart language and share them with lost Deaf. |
