Good news for Wala Speakers

Saturday, March 15, 2008

It's 5:30 Saturday morning and the girls and I are getting ready to leave for the domestic airport where we will board a plane for Auki on Malaita Island.  Tim went ahead to participate in the last day of a literacy workshop that was held there.  


Tomorrow we will be honored to witness a bit of history for the people of Langalanga Lagoon who speak the Wala language.  For the first time they will be able to read God's Word in their own language.  Our good friend, Matthew, is the translator for the New Testament, so this one is especially close to our hearts.  

We appreciate prayers for the Launch on Sunday and for our safety in travel.

As part of the Year of the Bible, the Solomon Islands Government is sponsoring twice daily 2-minute Pijin Bible readings on the national radio station which broadcasts throughout the Solomon Islands. We thank God for this opportunity!

The Word on the Air

Monday, March 3, 2008

Recently when we went to the Prime Minister's office to talk about the government's involvement in Year of the Bible, one of the things we asked for was for the government to sponsor twice daily 2 minute Bible readings on the national radio station. The Prime Minister agreed and we have been talking to the radio station about what time slots were available for the Bible readings. At first, it looked like we might be able to have time slots right before the news begins, but other sponsors have those times.

Today the radio station sales department informed me that we will have a time slot right after the morning news at 7 am and after the Pijin news in the evening! These are GREAT time slots when lots of people all over the country will be listening to their radios. We praise God for this wonderful opportunity.
