The week of June 4th, I had a workshop with 8 participants from 4 language groups in the Mfumte cluster in North West Cameroon. These teams have been translating the word of God and had some needs IT needs as well as how to use ParaTExt tools well. I sent my colleague Kengo Eliot there sometimes last year to train them on basic computer skills. This time we needed to get them out of the community for this workshop to be done properly because we needed access to the Internet.
The Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary (CBTS) gladly opened their doors for this workshop for which we are so thankful. There were also two translation degree students from Akwaya who just finished their course work and could not return quickly due to the crisis in their region so they took part in this workshop.
The translation degree coordinator was also very happy to be part of this workshop and I needed to setup Translators Worksplace (Logos) software on his laptop. This was a very good work as we stayed together in the same apartment, ate together and had sometime to watch an evangelism series "Walking with Jesus" by Campus for Christ.
This week was very eventful and very rewarding too.
