It’s day twenty one for me today. It doesn’t feel like three weeks have already past but the calendar tells me otherwise. I couldn’t imagine being back home working on my boss’ farm right now. This is where I want to be, regardless of the work it takes to be here. This isn’t a real easy life but it is rewarding.
Today we will be starting to record the New Testament in Dinka! It is so exciting! We have these little audio players with a small solar panel on the back so batteries are not required. They fit in the palm of your hand and can be distributed to the community. Every day we will have a pastor read from their Dinka Bible for two hours in the afternoon while I record it on my Mac. Then, later, we will edit out any mistakes and send it to the audio player. This is a great opportunity to get the Message out to more people. I have four pastors who are going to help. Today we will have a pastor reading from Matthew. Tomorrow, Mark. Two days, Luke. Friday, John. Then we start over on Monday. Each pastor wants to read his own book. That’s a great idea so that you don’t have multiple voices reading the same book. But I am pretty stoked to see what happens with this project.
Your prayers are needed and are a fragrant aroma to God.
