Daily Prayer: the Denya people of Cameroon
20,000 isolated forest dwellers, many still tied to traditional spirit practices. The Anyang people are interested and waiting for God's Word in their own language. As the Denya New Testament draws near to completion with a target date of September 2009, checking it for accuracy, comprehensibility and naturalness has been the team’s focus.
- Pray that the Denya team will be alert and careful to make needed improvements to the New Testament translation to have it in people’s hands by September 2009.
- The theme for this year’s International Literacy Day celebration was Literacy: the key to health and well-being. Praise God that mother-tongue literacy is becoming a cultural value among the Anyang people
- Traditional religion is still strong and illnesses are treated in superstitious ways. Pray that the Denya Christians will share with people that Christ can heal both their body and their soul.
