One Story Project Completed
Two days ago, we received some wonderful news. The story set we’ve been working on for the past 2 ½ years was fully approved by our Wycliffe consultant. Throughout the project, we have had to send in each story to her to be looked at to make sure it is Biblically accurate. Each story had to be approved along the way, but then we had to have the entire set of 33 stories approved. The past few weeks have been hard as we’ve worked to finish final recordings, as well as get all the stories to our consultant for the final check. Needless to say, it was a very happy moment for me when we received full approval! I was literally jumping for joy!
The work is not over. Right now we are trying to make CD’s of the story set to send back to US for our Campus Crusade partners. They will archive all the stories.
Tonight I am flying to Morocco with my team for a week long vacation. We’ll be traveling by bus, train, and plane to Spain and Portugal, then back to Morocco.
Upon my return in Niger, I will work on making master cassette copies of our story set and then duplicating it. I will travel to the annual Fulani believer meeting with some tapes.
Please pray for this meeting, as over 200 Fulani people gather from all over Niger and other countries. Pray that it will be led by the Spirit and that believers will be encouraged by one another. Pray also as Fulbe receive the story set on cassette, that they’ll take it back to their families and the word of God will spread rapidly.
I am planning to set up a small studio at the meeting to record Fulbe people discussing the stories and/or testimonies. I want to try and use this to develop radio programs with the story set.
Then I will be flying to Mali on March 21. I will be living there, working with my supervisor until August, when I will return to the US.
I just want to say a BIG thank you to all of you for supporting me during this project! The Lord has done amazing things here in Niger and I am privileged to have been a part of it. Now that we have the story set in Fulfulde, please pray that HIS Word will go out and not return void!
