Nairobi Translation: Back Home!

I am writing this post to wrap up our first ever Nairobi translation trip. Though we were not able to complete the entire 18 sessions in either Swahili or French, we did make good progress and learned a lot. Joel and Bonheur did a great job translating into their respective languages (Swahili and French). Below is an example of each as they worked on translation. (Joel in the first video and Bonheur in the second.)

Joel was able to complete 11 sessions of the Romans teaching and Bonheur completed 12 sessions. I was able to do the initial editing of all the sessions and then get them sent off to the Romans Project home base at Southwest Bible Church in Beaverton, Oregon. The recordings still need to be further edited - mainly cutting out blank spaces so that the teaching and translations flow smoothly together.

Joel, Bonheur, and I are checking our schedules in hopes of meeting back in Nairobi, or actually Karen, in the next month or two so as to finish the remaining sessions.

PLEASE PRAY that we would be able to find a block of 7 to 8 days in the near future so as to finish this project and then get them loaded onto new mp3 players for those who are working on the Romans Project challenge of reading Romans 20 times and writing it out  once by hand. There are already a number of people in Tanzania awaiting the completed translation of Swahili, so it is important that we finish this as soon as possible.

Thank you for your interest and prayer support of the Romans Project and particularly our translation efforts the past weeks near Nairobi, Kenya.
