A Bible of Their Own
Today I point you to Paul Latour's blog, The Word Street Journal, to check out a video about the Kimyal tribe in West Papua, Indonesia. The video shows them as they receive Bibles in their own language for the first time. I have heard of this story several times in the last couple weeks. I decided not to post it myself since Paul did a wonderful job on it. Click here to read his post and view the video, and I dare you to do it without weeping.

Thank you for sharing, Katrina. I loved it! I recently read two missionary books that detailed the story of Bible translators. (They are listed on my blog.) The video put faces on what I read.
ReplyDeleteAccording to wycliffe.org there are 2,100 languages without any of the Bible. 340,000,000+ people speak those languages. I am so grateful, and humbled, that we have the Bible. May I never take it for granted.
