HOW WILL THEY HEAR?
Kuy people are not likely to read about it (most are functionally
illiterate) or see it on TV or visit a church service. Someone needs to
bring the good news in a way that they can understand. We believe that
Bible stories, told chronologically so as to present God's plan for the
nations in a clear way, are the solution. And these stories will be
best if told by their own people in their own language.
We have recorded a set of Bible stories translated from Khmer in Kuy.
They are a "first pass." They need to be refined. Now Tom is working
with two Kuy pastors to teach them to tell the stories in Kuy (rather
than translate them from Khmer). They have had a training seminar in
story telling. But, now they need help working it out. It is proving to
be a more difficult process than we expected. But they are getting it
and beginning to tell the stories to their families and in their
churches.
- Pray for Pastor Kon Koeun and Pastor Ky to
become good story tellers and to be highly
motivated to tell the stories.
- Pray that God will raise up more story tellers
among the Kuy and among Khmer people with a
heart for the Kuy people.
- Pray that the stories would be told in
villages like Rum Chek, which have no congregations of believers.
