Badwe'e Gospel of Mark in the new orthography
We have just finished adapting Badwe'e MARK to the new orthography, which has fewer tone marks. It is available for downloading here.

What Are You Doing Now?
In Yaounde, I am writing an orthography statement for the Njyem language to accompany the transition primer that is now being used by Njyem both here in Yaounde and in the villages. We have received a lot of feedback from them about the primer, and we are now close to publishing it. This would require a completed orthography statement.

How to access the pictures accompanying text?
It is possible to save a copy the pictures of this blog on your computer so that you can enlarge it and print it. In Windows Internet Explorer, the way I do it is left-click the picture once and then wait until the picture comes up on its own window. At that time, you click "Page" on the light blue tool bar and then click "SaveAs" in the drop-down window. Then you tell the browser where to save the file on your computer.
Someone with a different Web browser will have a different avenue for saving it.

Who are you ?

- Yaounde, Central Province, Cameroon
- What motivates me is 1.) the joy of being a blood-bought, born-again, Spirit-filled, Bible-believing temple of Yahweh. And 2) that there are many who aren't for no reason but their lack of linguistic resources. They cannot hear the message yet. Mary and I hope to address some of their needs, responding to their requests. We welcome others joining our team through becoming members of Wycliffe Bible Translators.

Unfunded Projects for Your Consideration
What projects do we see as being particuliarly deserving of your gifts?
1. Help Ekoalea Maurice find the rest of the funds for his education. He was the translator of the Badwe'e New Testament and now he wants to finish the 3rd and 4th years of seminary at UPAC so he can serve the Lord more as a Presbyterian Pastor and as an exegete for the Old Testament. He has some of the funds for the training from the church and from a support team in Yaounde, but he needs the rest.
2. Help the Roman Catholic community to find the funds needed for the building of their sanctuary and parsonage. The Bishop, Msr Jan Odza, writes:
Chers bienfaiteurs,
Par la présente j'approuve le projet que vous présente le Père Tarcisisus MPA, Curé de la paroisse Saint Marc de Ngoïla.
Cette paroisse a été érigée il y a quelques années, et ne disposait à ce moment que des structures dérisoires, qui demandent aujourd'hui à être refectionnées. La population locale n'étant pas à mesure de répondre à cette exigence, le Curé se trouve contraint de tendre la main vers l'extérieur.
Je reste donc favorable à cette demande, et vous remercie déjà pour votre soutien bienfaisant.
Voici les références bancaires de la banque en France:
Nom du bénéficiaire: PROCURE DES MISSIONS
Congrégation du Saint Esprit
30, rue Lhomond
75005 PARIS
Nom de la banque... [available upon request]
4. Help the Presbyterian community of Nzo'adiba to create an office for Scripture Use, church-based literacy, and Old Testament translation. Pastor Ernest Njelo has asked for this help. He has the backing of the eccumenical translation and Scripture-use committee, but they are very poor.

Proverbs
Since SIL-Cameroon Branch has created a place on its web site for proverbs, I have moved mine there. The limitations of "blogspot.com" are such that I cannot do justice to them here. The SIL website can be accessed at http://www.silcam.org/folder020601/page.php#
I hope that it will serve others, too, who want to make proverbs more widely known.
