Daily Prayer: the Noon people of Senegal
The Noon people place great value on the Scriptures, but the Catholic Church has traditionally used only the French and Wolof languages in its services. As a result, Christians remain very limited in their knowledge of the Bible. The Catholic priests, especially those with a Noon background, have been encouraging translation efforts. Francois Ndione, one of two known evangelical Christians among the Noon people, serves as the primary translator for this project
- The Noon team is nearing the end of drafting New Testament books—only a handful remains. Pray that God will enable the team to draft the rest of the NT.
- Pray for the team as they revise Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon
- The team was happy to welcome field coordinator from The Seed Company on his visit to the Noon language area. They found his visit to be a great encouragement, particularly as the end of the project is approaching with a target year of 2009.
- Pray for strength for the team to keep on a straight line as they head down the homestretch.
