Masai Warrior Becomes Bible Tranlator

There ia apparently a new approach for Bible translators in Africa. Rather than bringing in Europeans or Americans to do the translating, they are training Africans to do the job on the ground. One such example is a Masai warrior, who has come to Christ, and is now looking to translate the Bible into local languages.

"It is the tradition of the Masai. You grow up to be a warrior, always ready to fight," says Kirisuah, who last Sunday was making the first of three appearances in Calgary to talk about how he became a Christian Bible translator.
"We were brought up in a spirit of excellence, of tremendous pride. To us, Christians looked like weaklings, always ready to cry."
Kirisuah, 51, now works in Nairobi, Kenya, for Bible Translation and Literacy, an African partner of Wycliffe Bible Translators of Canada.

Is is interesting to see all the different ways that God is working to spread His Word.
