Simbiti Scripture Dedication


all dressed up and ready to go
Sorry it took me so long to post about the simbiti dedication. On November 2 we attended the dedication of the books of Jonah and Luke in the Simbiti language. It was the first 2 books in their heart language. There are now books of the Bible in all languages getting scripture translations at our office.

It was a dreary rainy morning and a little cool. It was great that it wasn’t so hot but would have been nice to have sunny weather and have the dedication service outside.

It all started with dancing outside the church. It was so much fun watching them dance and play their traditional instruments.

We then moved inside the church for the 3 hour dedication service with lots of singing and dancing. The kids did great during the service. Because the church was also the school, there were lots of kids in attendance as well.

It was an honor to be a part of this dedication.
