Matal Project in Mora, Mayo-Sava, Maroua, Extreme North of Cameroon

The Mandara mountains in Far North (Maroua) Cameroon, Mora sub division in Mayo-Sava division is home to several people groups especially the Matal. It takes quite some effort to reach Matal community but it is worth it because then you see this hard working people who not sparing any effort to see that their Bible is translated. For me it was good to see where the translators live and work daily. When I relate with them remotely, I can now have a good understanding of context and situation. This trip helps me appreciate the work of my colleagues on the ground. Pray that sooner, the Matal people will finish translating the entire Bible in their language. I did enjoy the stonny mountains, the cotton fields, the scenery and the people.
Do you struggle to get water? Have you ever thought of bathing or doing laundry as a luxury? Pray for several people groups in Extreme North Cameroon who really struggle to get the precious liquid. This kid is excited to find water beneath the sand.
No wonder why Jesus said in John 7:37-38 "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink" (a kilòŋ kí yúm wír, wù wìy, e yèn mo, e rə̀r kilòŋ kfə́) - NIV & Lamnso' Bible
