Paratext workshop this week in Buea

It gets very scary on the Yaounde - Douala highway especially when everyone wants to get there very fast. With this scene, you cannot forget to thank God for helping you to arrive safely in your final destination. This week was very encouraging to see and hear from translators and CITs working with the Sawa languages. Their computer use skills are greatly improving making them enjoy the task of Bible translation that they have committed their lives to.

Eastern Bantu Paratext training

These brothers were so excited to learn how to use computers and especially to type the Scriptures they had earlier drafted in their computers using Paratext software. One night I gave them an assignment to practice typing some drafts in the gospel of Luke and the following morning, they showed me how they had made progress and typed several verses. It was encouraging to see their enthusiasm and progress. To learn or teach how to use computers in an adult class requires a fair amount of patience from both the learner and trainer. It has lots of fun too.
