Talking About God

Albert Tiwekuri--Taupota

“When we were consultant checking portions of both the Old and New Testaments in the Taupota language, we invited two people to work on the check with us. These people were believers, but they were not that committed. During our consultant check God did a very big thing in their lives. All the time after work when we would get together before sleeping, they talked about God and what God was doing during our consultant check. The way they were talking about God really encouraged us—like our faith in God and how it grows.

“The people in our community are also talking about these two people--that wherever they go, whatever they do, they are talking about God. It is wonderful to see them telling how God changed their lives. These very people are now behind us, supporting us with everything. Sometimes, when we are down with our work, their very presence encourages us. I praise God for all that He is doing in our lives and in the lives of our fellow translators and the people in our communities.”
