Treasure

Last week I went to a conference with other people who work with AIM in Kenya. This was a refreshing and relaxing time, and it was great to meet others and find out what God is doing in different parts of the country. 

I heard about how modern technology is being used to bring God’s message to the Gabra, another nomadic tribe in the north of Kenya. Few of the Gabra people have heard about the good news of Jesus, they can’t read and don’t have access to Bibles or churches. Yet the Bible in Gabra language has been recorded onto these easy-to-use solar-powered MP3 players which are then distributed to interested villagers. Up to about 20 people can listen to the recordings at a time, which they do at night until the battery runs out! The people have been excited to hear the message and often memorise passages and then pass on the Treasure.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Treasure indeed!
