Beginning January 3, 2010, our language project will broadcast a weekly pre-recorded mother tongue radio program. The Christian station with whom we have a contract has a fairly new tower which reaches up to 100km radius. That means these radio programs can be heard in at least part of every one of the 10 languages [...]
I climbed out of bed at 5:52am this morning. We have had quite a day at the dedication ceremony up in the Vwanji language area mountains. We have lots of video and photos but I’m way tired so I’ll have to leave you with this one shot from today…
It is from just after they brought [...]
I kid you not, Scottie kicked in the warp speed around the time I started recording Mark in the Vwanji language. The ensuing months have blown by like streaks of light from passing stars. Today, he turned the switch back off. The Gospel of Mark in the Vwanji language now has 198 complete and ready-to-sell [...]
If you’ve been following my recent tweets, you’d know that I finished my first editing phase on Mark in the Vwanji language. What does that mean exactly? Glad you asked. Glad to answer.

I can say that right now is probably the most exciting time work-wise since I started in the language project well over a year ago.

Our project goal is to have both printed and audio versions of the book available for purchase that day. Currently, I’m over 90% done with the recording [...]

This was a CRAZY busy quarter in terms of all the things I’ve been able to do. Let me begin by addressing the preview items from last quarter’s newsletter.
The Nyakyusa recordings will be tested and distributed. We’re [...]
I had high hopes going into yesterday’s recording schedule. God exceeded them. Pastor/Translator Ahimidiwe arrived at the studio at 9:15am and we went straight to it. We only stopped for a couple of short breaks and lunch. By 4:06pm, we had finished ALL of the narrator’s parts of the text and [...]
In case you don’t know, Vwanji will be the first langauge to have The Gospel of Mark recorded in it. I’ve spent the last 4 days recording all but one of the characters for Ruth and Jonah in the language and now we’re gearing up for the ‘big show’. We plan to begin recording that [...]
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:
