Borehole income - October 2009
Ten years ago, I was involved in setting up the Lama Old Testament translation project, so I was pleased to hear the news this month that the book of Genesis has just been published. Here’s what one Lama man had to say:
“I couldn’t make it to the dedication of the book of Genesis last Saturday, but I spent the whole of the following day reading the copy that my neighbour had bought. Later in the week, I cycled over from my village to Kanté, a round trip of about twelve miles, just so that I could buy my own copy. I’m so impressed with it. French is difficult for me, but it is so clear in Lama. Even if I die today, I can say that I was able to read the first translated book of the Old Testament in Lama. I’m grateful to God for that.”
