This past week (first week of April), I had the privilege of being part of the first-ever Tobo translation course.
Good news, new life, and a visitor!
New life is a blessing to see and it is such a joy to be a part of it! Our new Tobo believers continue to enjoy their new life in Christ...
New Believers In the Tobo Tribe!
Have you ever been around a group of new believers??
The excitement is contagious.
The excitement is contagious.
“Thank you, Yesu!!!!”
Yesterday the 16th of January, 2007 was a historic day for the Tobo people!
3 Days to Go!!!
Anjere- “So you’re saying that to get eternal life, we are simply to believe in Jesus? What about following all of God’s other rules, doing good things, helping other people? What you’re telling us is too easy!”
New Year; Dividing 2 ways
“Don’t judge me!”
“I am a sinner.”
“I’ve been a part of this group for years, and God hasn’t punished me!”
“God’s Word is not in me. I’ve been thinking wrong on these things.”
“These prophecies will come true, if I believe strong in them. We will have the ‘good life’ on this earth.”
“How can a bad tree produce good fruit? How can we leave our sins?”
As you can see from these quotes, since we started teaching in October, and especially in the last several weeks, there have been 2 lines of thinking at work among the Tobo people here.
