Clay Pots~Committee and Sondik's Response to Jason

(Committee is the one sitting on the pink mat and
Sondik is the one in the blue and white shirt. Mike Mikolovich is our translation consultant and is sitting next to Jason in the chair.)


"Our church leaders have not been teaching us the Word of God correctly. I sat and listened to you and I was afraid"
(said by Committee)
"Reading the Word is God in the trade language is like eating white men's food. It is okay but the taste isn't very good. But hearing it in our very own language is like eating our food and it tastes sweet and good"
(said by Sondik)

These 2 comments were made to Jason after he had finished going over the first 6 Bible lessons he had translated with 4 Tobo guys and the translation consultant this past week. The first 6 lessons cover the 6 days of creation up until the creation of man, introduces the trinity, and also highlights that God is eternal, self-sufficient, omniscient, omnipotent, and loving. Keep praying for this fall when all of Dengenu will be taught the Bible lessons and hear the truth for the first time ever in their own language!!!J
