Adventurous Trip to the Awing Bible Translation Office

I went to the motor park to take public transport to Awing but because I went a bit late, I could only ride on the back/top of the truck! Yes it was embarrassing but that was the only option. Riding on the back/top of the truck on pretty bad Awing roads is very scarry. You have to grab the bars with both hands and struggle to balance yourself as the wind blows seriously on you. The only good thing however is that you can see everything around including lake Awing and the beautiful rocks and countryside. So I struggle to get some shots with my camera. I am very thankful that on my way back I got a comfortable seat inside the truck. Praise the Lord for safety on these roads.

IT work in Ngwo Project (Njikwa)

CABTAL IT Service went to install Solar power and Internet service in the Ngwo Bible Translation Office in Njikwa so as to accelerate the work of Bible Translation and Language development for the team. The roads to Ngwo are not very friendly. But with the expertise of Kenga Ernest and the CABTAL Landcruiser plus the absence of rain you can be sure to make it safely.

When we arrived in Njikwa, men just showed up from nowhere and gave us a helping hand in digging and mixing the sand and cement, breaking the rocks and all that was needed to setup the platform for the solar panels.
We were very happy for the help that several men came from no where and gave us.

We were able to train the typist and other ladies to use the computer to type in Ngwo, their heart language. Lovert was very happy to be able to able to use the computer to type Ngwo - her language.

The Fon came to see what we were doing. He is very encouraging and supportive to the Bible Translation Project. He has given the Land of Ngwo to Jesus! He even invited us to his palace that night. We were amazed to get to know and hear a lot from such an important personality like the fon of Ngwo.
