Author: No matter what you call it, I have finished seven of them. The radio station is scheduled to cycle through the set playing one at 7am and one at 7pm everyday for a month starting today. Here’s a summary of what you can hear in the ads posted below:
1-6 sec : Language specific translation of Jonah 2:2
7-29 sec : Swahili describing our need for full-time scripture use & literacy workers to be based in each respective language area.

Below is my tentative schedule for the recording of Ruth & Jonah in the MICP languages.
2008
Sep 29 – Oct 3: Sangu
Oct 20 – Oct 24: Kinga
Dec 8 – Dec 12: Nyakyusa
2009
Jan 12 – Jan 16: Bena
Feb 9 – Feb 13: Safwa
Mar 16 – Mar 20: Malila
Apr 13 – Apr 17: Vwanji
May 11 – May 15: Ndali
June 8 – June 12: Nyiha
If you’re keeping up with all of the langauge groups with which we are working, you’ll notice one is missing from that list… Bungu. That is because Ruth & Jonah are not finished in that language due to a lack of translators. Although we aren’t able to move forward with the Bible translation, we have offered to help in Bible storying & songs.
