My dear brother the Rev. Joel Kavala
and Johnny preaching a Christmas
message for his congregation of the
Africa Evangelical Presbyterian Church in
Ongata Rongai, Kenya.  Joel translated
into Swahili for the non-English
speakers...

"The Old Testament saint's sins were put
on Jesus's VISA card, and on the cross,
the bill was paid in full - for them and for
us!"

"For this reason He is the mediator of a
new covenant, so that, since a death has
taken place for the redemption of the
transgressions that were committed under
the first covenant, those who have been
called may receive the promise of the
eternal inheritance."
 - Hebrews 9:15















"The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,
nor a lawgiver from between his feet until
Shiloh comes, and to Him shall the
obedience of the people be."
- Genesis 49:10

A translation was begun in January 2008 but
it was determined that, as the course
was written at the high-school/university
level, that a new course designed for
a rural setting should be produced in a
joint effort by SIL and MTW.

PROJECT ON-HOLD pending our
finding a "champion" to lead it on-
