I’m in Cameroon now! Sorry for the lack of updates, but Internet access is hard to come by. We’ve been busy traveling all over the country and seeing the many Bible translation and literacy projects. So far, we’ve been to the Bakossi, Bambalang, Bamunka, Bafanji, and Babanki projects.
I’ve been very impressed by the dedication and enthusiasm of the translators and literacy teachers. What’s really exciting is that many of these projects are being led by Africans, not people who have come over from other countries. These communities have really been blessed with some highly talented people.
Bolt, Alan, and I have been interviewing, videoing, and photographing like crazy, and there’s still now way that we’ll be able to truly capture everything that’s happening here. Not that we won’t try. :-)
I’ve been shooting a lot of video, which is something new to both me and Bolt. It’s been fun, and I’ve also enjoyed doing some of the editing. If you’d like to see the fruits of our labor, we’re trying to post regular video updates on Bolt’s blog: The Translation Beat.
I hope to get a longer update put together some time in the next week or so.
