\"Cover-Photo-Pacific-Sunset\"As we presented missions to a group of kids at a VBS recently we got confronted with an interesting question from one of the kids: \u201cHow can the tribal people not know about God?\u201d Good question! They are descendants of Adam and Eve and of Noah. Somewhere, somehow lies started replacing truth. <\/em><\/p>\n

The light goes out.\u00a0 You don\u2019t know how.\u00a0 You don\u2019t know why.\u00a0 You just can\u2019t see anymore.\u00a0 You feel your way around. \u00a0What are you going to do?\u00a0 It never comes back on.\u00a0 Life is much harder now and over time you\u00a0begin to lose hope.\u00a0 After a while, you forget what it was like to\u00a0have light.\u00a0 Your children never experience light and only know of it from your description.\u00a0 After a few generations, light is just a myth and darkness is normal reality.<\/p>\n

Hundreds or thousands of years pass.\u00a0 Rumors of light in other places swirl around, but you never get a glimpse of it.\u00a0 Until one day, a spark of hope arrives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nagi people are experiencing the dawning of the light right now.\u00a0 They have been living in a Christless darkness. They and other people groups are being exposed to the light, as missionaries teach foundationally through the Bible, with many more still in need.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the weekdays Dennis is in Oklahoma with his students now.\u00a0 The students are investigating the Cherokee language as part of their preparation for language analysis overseas<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In November Dennis and the other linguistics teachers will be putting on a workshop for the Literacy consultants from many different countries.\u00a0 Literacy consultants help the missionaries with the preparation of literacy materials and give advice for the literacy work in the tribe. The workshop will be used to discuss how to create good alphabets for the languages that our missionaries are working with.\u00a0 Much preparation still has to be made for this workshop. Pray the literacy consultants, which are traveling to this workshop from many countries, will be blessed, encouraged and helped during this time.<\/em><\/p>\n
