Cees and Mirjam serve in Kotido, Uganda, to engage the Karimojong people for Christ. In a recent newsletter, Cees and Mirjam shared this beautiful insight into how God is speaking to the Karimonjong people: Maria prays for the light of the Holy Spirit and presses the button on the Proclaimer (audio Bible). The words of Luke 19 ring out in clear Ngakarimojong. When the story of Zacchaeus is finished, Maria asks, “What did you hear?” There is a moment of silence. One answers, “A voice.” “Very good. What did the voice say?” “Something about a man who climbed a tree.” The whole group laughs. In the end, we listen to the same story five times, and each time we remember more. Then someone asks “Is that voice in that little box the voice of God?” Maria explains that God has given His words to people so they can get to know Him personally. “Does God speak Ngakarimojong, then?” asks a mother in surprise. Another observes, “Jesus went to visit Zacchaeus. (Pointing to the Proclaimer) I think He visited us today!”  It is moving to see a group of people encounter the words of the Living God for the very first time. Amazement, discomfort, joy, fear… I see a range of emotions in their eyes. Maria sets a date for their next listening session and concludes with prayer. Maria is one of 34 leaders who have started a Bible listening group. She cannot read or write. Praise God that this Proclaimer empowers her to bring Him close to her people, where there is no church. Ask that as more hear the Word, they will come to proclaim Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
