Genesis Arrives in Another Language

Last month while I was in Dar, the Ikoma language group celebrated receiving the book of Genesis in their language.

All the normal elements of a scripture celebration were there:

A dancing choir.

Dancing up to the podium with the gift of a box of books.

Rejoicing as the box of books is opened.

Selling books out of the back of a land cruiser.

Food, and lots of it!

And the occasional rough roads.

BUT, however normal these elements may be to a Scripture celebration, the fact that the book of Genesis is now being read in the Ikoma language is still NEW and AMAZING. God is so good and faithful and it is always exciting to see his word spreading.
