Any similarity is unintentional
Will it confuse them? Will they believe that God's Word confirms it? Will they believe that what they have been doing is right?
Very Rough . . .
Studying a language is like putting together a puzzle with more than a thousand pieces. You find the pieces all around, but even when you put them together, they're not always in the right order.
Making friends being sensitive
As we visit the neighbors, we chat, make jokes, introduce ourselves and get to know them; they communicate words to us in the language and reveal aspects of their culture, which we take into account by recording them and then analyzing the language to learn their way of seeing life and their explanation of how things work.
Why the laughter
While working with Fredy, I started playing with words, trying to translate from Spanish into ko'revaju a word he himself used, "father of the family." When I threw my translation into ko'revaju at Fredy (I thought), he laughed a little.
Easter in Korevaju
At the end of March we had the first opportunity to spend Holy Week in a Korevaju village.
Chu’u, an answer with deep meaning
But first I told them that they should be purchased by the Father through the blood of his Son and I asked if anyone wanted to be bought. The grandfather of the community, sitting in the front row answered "Chu'u!"
Making progress with the missionary house
With the purpose of living among the Koreguaje people and thus being able to advance faster in learning the language and culture, we are building this house.
Sown along the path?
The missionary work among the Koreguaje has received a lot of attention from different evangelical denominations. There are churches with indigenous pastors, there are social projects and even a new literacy program. The New Testament has already been translated and can be read from the cell phone and obtained in audio.
Would you take a moment to pray?
We thank God very much for your participation in this ministry. This time we want to share three prayer requests that we place before the Lord. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO PARTICIPATE in PRAYER!
Studying Paid Off
It is interesting that just a couple of months ago, this language was so mysterious to us that we could not understand a word that the Koreguaje people were saying.
