Funds from the ELCA and the
Eastern North Dakota, Western North Dakota and Texas Louisiana-Gulf Coast synods are helping pay for the project. Eventually the two churches hope
to offer the materials to other French- speaking Lutheran church bodies.
Focusing on literacy In an area where civil conflict has kept many youth from attending school, the CAR church’s commitment to educa- tion is strong. The church operates schools in 20 villages where there is no government school. Eighteen of the 20 remained open throughout the three- year civil war. To help reach children who may
have missed schooling, the translation team hired local artists to draw two pictures for each Bible story in the series, setting them in the Central African context. While both churches are growing,
“too many are converted in their mouths but not their hearts,” Ngah said. Kemane added, “Without
instructional materials, the young cannot grow in their faith. The Sunday school teachers will also increase their biblical knowledge and, hopefully, their faith as well.”
