(mah-POO-too) – One Southern Mozambique Team member works with women at a church plant about an hour away from the capital city. She sees that more women from the central part of the country have moved to the neighborhood, and these women don’t have a Bible in their own language of Chuabo. While there are some translations available, such as a possible Catholic version or even one translation in a broken dialect meant for missionaries, these women still have no Bible in their homes. Team members are working with Mozambican pastors to get any portion of the Bible that has been translated to them in hopes of doing recordings that they can listen to in their own homes or be read by another family member. Many people, even in the city and the outskirts, still speak a dialect that is rarely written down, and even if it were written, there are few women who can read it. Pray for God to continue the work of Bible translation in Mozambique so that all people will be able to hear and/or read God’s Word in their heart language. Intercede also for the right resources to use so they can have access to the Bible.
