Last year at this time we were looking ahead to the Kuna literacy training as a huge step of faith with a whole lot of work needing to be accomplished. Here we are looking back on the pictures of the literacy training held in Panama a few weeks ago, thanking God for His provision and wisdom! Many of you were part of the team through your prayers and gifts toward the project.
More than 110 people from 42 different Kuna villages or churches attended the literacy training. The joy and energy was fueled by their enthusiasm for teaching people to read in preparation for the whole Bible in Kuna! Who can’t get hyped to think that soon the Kuna people will be able to read the Psalms, Proverbs, and all those beloved Old Testament stories?
The Kuna churches decided to all begin literacy classes together in “Iguana Month” (that’s February). This will give the literacy teachers time to read all the manuals and be practiced and ready to go! God has also raised up a Kuna man, Hernan, who will be the supervisor of the Kuna literacy program. He is putting together a team to work with him on traveling out to the different locations to give support, continued teacher training, and accountability.
