To finish off a very eventful Monday, we were priveleged to have a Kriol Baibul Study at our house. This time, instead of three women coming, it turned out to be five. It is such an amazing blessing to be able to sit and listen as these women read God's Word in Kriol. We continued in 1 John 2 last night. Something I will not forget is the comment one of the olgamen(older ladies). "Isn't it wonderful to have the Bible in Kriol? Everything is so clear, and we can hear God speak to us." When they read the Kriol Baibul, it is "brabli gudbinji"--a very good feeling in their stomach. That's a phrase I won't forget. It's a deep down contentment/happiness.
Something that truly encouraged me about last night, was the simple fact that we did very little of the leading. One of the women lead the praise music, and another lead the Baibul Study time. It was nearly ALL in Kriol. (except for a King James Version English Bible one of the ladies brought...)
A couple of the ladies commented about the fact that the Bible seems to speak directly to them.
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
"Wal wi garra bilib langa God wed brabliwei, dumaji det wed im trubala, en im wek langa wi laif. Det wed im jis laiga bigwan naif garram dubala shapwan said, en im gowin rait insaid langa wi weya det filing blanga we jidan, en im meigim wi sabi weya wi rong, dumaji im jadjim wi blanga ebrijing weya wi oldei jinggabat en wandim." Hibrus 4:12
