Now he feels the call to become a pastor of the Presbyterian Church. We are looking forward to the creation of a growing and committed support group that will express its commitment to his success through their intercession and their giving. If you want to know how to help, you can go to his website: www.bekazylba.blogspot.com/. He began his studies on October 15. He is at the Faculté de théologie et de sciences religieuses de l’Université Protestante d’Afrique Centrale (UPAC). He needs US$88.50 a month for taxi, rent and utilities.

"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.
