Reflections

Our month in West Africa has been a rich experience!   

Burkina Faso and Ghana...

Ouagadougou, Bobo-Dioulasso, Ourakoye, Tamale...

For us these places are filled with memories! 

During this trip we have been immersed not only in Africa, but in the world of Bible translation.  We traveled to West Africa because Carolee is on the Board of Directors of Wycliffe Bible Translators.  Together we have learned so much!  We have been inspired by the people we have met and the stories they have shared with us.    

We have heard much about the challenges and rewards of being involved in translating the scriptures into the heart language of people.  We have prayed blessings on newly translated scriptures. 

 

*  We are thankful to  God for good health, safe travels and a blessed time.
