Putting together Scripture programs for radio in Nyungwe

Since photos of me working tend to involve boring shots of a bunch of guys sitting around looking at computers, I decided to jazz things up with these bright yellow suns. Pretty!

	Welcome to the current Nyungwe office. It’s quite a nice little room although the sparrows chirping outside the window make it slightly noisy for making recordings.
	The Nyungwe translation team now has a nice new computer. In addition to translation they also store Scripture recordings which is what I’m working on here.
	The little silver gadget on the table is an audio recorder. These young men are translation reviewers and have been learning how to record Scripture readings and songs.
	Another silver gadget on the table is a Saber which is an audio player that can be powered by winding the crank. At this meeting I was showing the reviewers how to load audio from the computer onto the Saber.
	On my computer I’m showing them how to mix voice and music to make an introduction to a radio show. They are preparing radio programs with readings from the Nyungwe Bible.
	Nelson is holding a copy of the Gospel of Luke in Nyungwe. One of our goals is to record all translated Scripture so it can be played on the radio and gadgets like the Saber.

These guys are really sharp and excited to learn how to make recordings and edit them on the computer.

Here are some things to pray for:

• Pray that we can get Scripture readings on the radio in Tete at an affordable price.
• Pray for the six more Sabers that are coming to Tete to be used to play Scripture in churches.
• Pray that Nyungwe people would be changed through hearing the good news about Jesus.
