Homeland to Homeland! We had the opportunity to share our call to Bible translation with a congregation in Minneapolis mostly made up of Sierra Leoneans—including Krio, Themne, Kono, & Mende (languages with LBT projects)! We were pleased to announce the Krio Bible dedication being celebrated in Sierra Leone later that week. Many in the congregation were eager to get their hands on the new publication in a language they know very well, and for some, their heart language. Our excitement grew when we met speakers of Themne and Mende—the languages with which we and our teammates will be working. Since then, Josh has initiated communication with our partners in Sierra Leone concerning the needs of the diaspora for Bibles in Minneapolis. How exciting for our family to help translate the Bible for people both in Sierra Leone and in Minneapolis, our hometown!
We have to delay our initial departure date in October because our recurring/monthly support has not yet reached 100%. We’re hoping to reach our goal to go in November.
