"Brabli Strongwan Pramis!"

"I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts..."
"Brabli strongwan pramis!" 'John' told me as he pointed out each word to the passage in Jeremiah 31:33-34. There were tears in his eyes as he read the passage in the Kriol Baibul over again, and another time. I asked him, "What does it mean?" and he rapped on his chest, and said,(in Kriol) "He will write His laws on our hearts. We won't need to go to the surrounding communities and tell people about Jesus, because they will know!"
He then pointed to verse 34, one word at a time, "Nomo enibodi garra titjimbat im ronwan kantrimen hau blanga sabi YAWEI, dumaji ebribodi garra sabi mi, nomeda olabat lobala o powan o boswan..." As he read it, it was as if his heart was longing for the day when EVERYONE would know God. "Whether low, or poor, or rich..."
And then he continued to read, "Ai garra larramgo olabat fri brom olabat nogudbalawei, en ai kaan jinggabat ol detlot nogudwan ting weya olabat bin oldei dumbat. Mi na YAWEI bin tok dijan."
BIG smile.
"For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

Praise the Lord, He continues to speak through His Word to the hearts of His people! And praise the Lord that we get to be a part of this work. :) Thank you for your continued prayers and support for us, John, and all the Kriol believers who long to see the day when ALL believers are gathered together to praise God as a single Body!

Please pray for continued growth, and understanding of Scripture for the believers we are working alongside, and for our ability to share with them clearly in Kriol. Also, please pray they would continue to study God's Word even after the workshop is finished on the 12th, so they can continue to grow and learn.
