We work with a ton of amazing people here in Nigeria. Translating the Bible isn't the only thing we do, we try to help people learn to engage with it and use it in their daily lives. One of our teams host Scripture Songwriting workshops to help encourage churches to be using the langauges that God gave them, to praise Him.
Mr Sunday Timawus, Coordinator of Ga’anda Bible Translation project and Area Coordinator for the surrounding languages, reports on changes that have taken place amongst the Ga’anda people since the Scripture Songwriting workshop that took place in January of 2013:
`One of the things that attracts people in our area is songs, more than reading the Scripture actually.
`I’ve seen the testimony of the people in our village. Most of the people who don’t come to church say, `Now you are doing something!’ After the workshop we had a lot of revival in our church. Most of the time we see the elderly men and women staying at home since the services were not in the language, but since the workshop there’s been kind of a breakthrough in our place and language. Now, most of what’s happening is in the language so they can understand it and they have rededicated their lives to God. Now they are saying, `When can we have another workshop?’
