Teaching Truth
As the first believer in the village, Mama Christy spent many years craving God’s Word because she couldn’t read. Even though she asked others to come and read the Bible aloud whenever they could, her spiritual hunger was never fully satisfied. Another disappointment came later, when the rest of her family decided to drop out of church after coming very close to knowing God. But through the hardships Mama Christy never lost faith.
Within a month of receiving a Proclaimer, her very traditional Maasai family (pictured in front of their protective thorn fence, or boma) was listening to the Audio New Testament constantly. One young grandson listens practically everywhere he goes, including at the nearby river. A granddaughter takes it home at night and listens to it with her kids. Not only is the family passing it around so all can hear, but they also listen regularly while gathered together.
“Now I am teaching my family that this is the truth.”
Mama Christy is so grateful – not only to have constant access to God’s Word, but to watch her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren enjoy its many blessings. They are all coming closer and closer to their own relationships with Jesus because, “Now,” she says, “I am teaching my family that this is the truth.”
