David with consultant, Carol Kaptain, during final Bible translation check of Acts

Consultants have been working with David and 3 Simbari helpers to carry out the final check of the book of Acts that has been translated into the Simbari language.
It took about a week of checking to go through all 1007 verses. The church back in the tribe was praying while we were out having the check done. The check went well and an unbelieving Simbari helper involved in the check said this, “Oh David, I don’t understand the Bible very well in the Pidgin language but the Bible in our (Simbari) language is hitting me right in the heart. I can’t wait to learn to read so I can read it on my own.” He heard the Gospel repeatedly and the other helpers were constantly witnessing to him. His name is Remi, please pray for him to place his trust in Christ. After some minor adjustments to the translation it will be ready for publication so it can be put in the hands of the believers. Thanks for praying.
