Merry Christmas to the Isenye and Ngoreme people of Tanzania!

We're so thankful that the Isenye people of Tanzania now have the book of Matthew in their own language.
AND...

The Ngoreme people have the book of Luke in their own language!

Ben had the privilege of typesetting both of those books and overseeing their publication. It was a special project for him because exactly one year ago, he typeset the Christmas stories in these languages. He typeset the Christmas story from Matthew in Isenye, and he typeset the Christmas story from Luke in Ngoreme. People loved reading and hearing about the birth of Jesus in their own language.

Since then, more and more people are learning how to read, and people are excited to have more Scripture published in their language. So it was a huge blessing for Ben to be able to typeset these complete books of the Bible in these languages. Now the books have been printed and delivered just in time for Christmas this year. Now the Isenye people and the Ngoreme people can read the rest of the story about Jesus. He's not only God who took on flesh and was born as a baby. He's also the King and Savior who died on the cross and rose again from the dead to rescue us from our sins and reconcile us to a right relationship with God.

Please pray that the Isenye and Ngoreme people will be transformed when they read God's Word in their own language.

For those of you who are partnering with us in this ministry, God is using you to bring his Word to the people of Tanzania. Thank you for your partnership in the gospel. We appreciate you!

Love,
Ben and Jeannette
