Njyem community requests more of God's Word

The Njyem people are not speakers of Nzime, but have a modest passive knowledge of it. The languages are definitely related. Recently I got word from my coworker Francois Medjo in Lomie that they have requested 20 of the Proclaimer units with the audio New Testament in Nzime. The Proclaimer is a digital playback device that contains a dramatic recording of the translation done in Nzime. It is furnished by the mission "Faith Comes By Hearing". We are very grateful for their financial support for this program. They are not looking at the financial return, that is for sure! Ten of these will be used by the Presbyterians and 10 by the Catholics to start listening groups. This represents a big step forword for them in their orientation toward God, wanting to be permeated by His Word. They seem to be turning their face toward Him in a new way! We continue being as committed as ever to assisting the Njyem to get a good version in their language of Genesis, Exodus and the New Testament.
