"Janvier" Ekoalea Recording the book of Genesis


Since 1998, when we finished typesetting and publishing the Nzime (Koonzime) New Testament, we began training "Janvier" Ekoalea as a Bible translator for the Badwe'e. He was the choice of Samuel Mpiale, who was retiring. Over the years Janvier, whose real name is Ekoalea Mvolo Maurice, has blossomed and developed as a song-writer and translator of the Bible in his language.
He is shown standing in the recording studio he built in the translation and literacy office of Somalomo. That was where they recorded the Gospel of Mark that is now being heard throughout the Badwe'e area by means of the Megavoice player.
