FLEx workshop in Yaounde

During the second week of November, we had a Fieldworks Language Explorer (FLEx) workshop in the center region bringing together six participants from 3 communities. It was a great time to work with these great guys training them to use FLEx - A dictionary making software that linguist use for their work. Pray for these teams as they will be putting into practice all what they have learned from during this workshop.







ParaTExt workshop

In October, I had the privilege to work with Bible Translators training them on a software application called ParaTExt, this involved setting up their computer and getting the resources that they need to do Bible Translation work. These translators came with various translation drafts and as they learned how to use the software, they were so excited to use it that one participant could hardly go on break. It was so good to see the joy that filled their hearts as they begin to use computers to do their work.










App Builder Workshop

During the week of August 26, I spend time with my colleagues in Yaounde training them on how to build Android Apps. This was very exciting to see the smiles on their faces as little by little, they could build apps on their computers and transfer unto their phones, install and use them. The beautiful part was for those who could understand the language as they really enjoyed especially seeing that they can have the gospel right there on their Android device. These people have some great ideas and questions as to how to go about distributing these apps to those who need them. It was also a time to share from the word of God every morning. We enjoyed sharing the La Red - GEI principles for our morning devotions.
