Kobas of Southeast Asia

The Kobas people need more of the Scriptures to understand God’s power over evil spirits. The believers—about 40% of the population—are trapped in a legalistic form of Christianity, and need a clear translation of the Word to shatter that bondage and allow them to live in the freedom of God’s grace. Most pastors have only very basic Bible school training. As a result, they are heavily reliant on the translated Scriptures.

The plan is to translate the New Testament and portions of the Old Testament by 2014, after starting in 2008.

  • Pray for spiritual growth in a man who publicly confessed his sins after reading translated portions of God’s Word.

  • Praise God that Luke’s Gospel is now available in the Kobas language!

  • Pray that God will raise up another person to join the translation team by mid-2011.
