Previously the elders among the Jalungas of Senegal rejected the Gospel message. However, several Jalunga men have asked to hear more about Jesus. One tribal man, Janji, and his wife, along with five others, are continuing to study God’s Word with the missionary. The translator, Penny Warner continues to translate the Scriptures into the Jalunga language. She has spent 30 years working with the Jalunga people. Recently she finished Romans, Ephesians and 1 Thessalonians and sent the transcripts to the printer. She is now working on the Gospel of John.
Pray that those Jalunga people who are listening to the chronological teaching will understand and accept the message that Christ died for them. Pray for Penny as she continues to translate the Scriptures; pray for the Hefner family as they build their home in the tribe and for Becki Brust, a new missionary to the work, that she will begin to build relationships as she studies the culture and language of the Jalungas.
