Is Bible Translation like preparing a well?
Yesterday morning we went out to fetch some water. At the first house we didn't get water. In the second we got some. My colleague (in the picture below) told the owner of the well that we have just begin translating the Bible in Ngiembɔɔn (their language). Then they talked about the well, when and how to fix it so that it will give water. As I listened to them, I was reflecting on wells and Bible times. Then it dawned on me that the work we do should be like preparing a good well so that every time people open the word of God, life giving water should always flow from it to refresh them.
