Stanley(the final voice recorded for the Luk DVD), and our team (L to R: Rachel, Karen, and Jared)After 4 weeks of recording, "It is finished." This past Friday was the final day of recording, and Thursday was the last day for recording parts for the Luk (Luke) DVD in Kriol. We had people from 5 different communities reading parts as well as checking other readers while they were recorded. Now, we wait for the editing, the quality check, and then the final production. We can't wait to see how it all turns out!

Sambo and me! I met Samson(Sambo) last year at Yangbala Kemp. It was great to have him join us in completing the Luk DVD. His father, Stanley(above), also played a part!
This project has been a lot of work for everyone involved. From the first translating and editting, to the final cuts and fixes( THANK YOU MARGARET!)... The Kriol Team (mainly Rachel and I) drove 1000's of kilometers picking up people to read different parts from different communities. We had 5 different communities involved in this recording: Beswick, Barunga, Weemol, Manyalaluk, and Minyerri. We had approximately 20 folks reading different parts for the movie, from Jesus and John the Baptist down to "Man 3" everyone put in a lot of work to read/repeat and record this movie. It has been a huge blessing. I'm glad we were able to include so many different communities, because hopefully that will help the film to be shown in their churches!
The Luke DVD is simply the book of Luke in a movie. It has been done in several different languages including Hebrew, and English (to name 2). It's a movie that will get people to think about God's Word, to think about Christ, and how they should respond to Him. As I was prompting/checking/ watching, it was really cool to see how many people were excited to see the movie. When their parts were being inserted in for dubbing in Kriol, they would watch the film, and if Jesus was speaking, they were just rapt in his words. They also enjoyed hearing their own voices on the movie as well! :)

At the same time, as I watched/read/prompted/checked readers, it felt as though I was right there, feeling the same emotions as the people when Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, and then when He fed the 5000 with just 5 loaves and 2 fish, how amazing! It was as if I was walking with him through his life, death and resurrection. It made me miss him, and want him to come back soon. And Lord willing He will be back soon. This movie made me so thankful for God's Word in my language, and so thankful that I can be a part of bringing Jesus to those who may not read Kriol yet! They can hear Jesus speak to them now, and perhaps as a result of this DVD they will come to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior. Pray for that with me!
Cheri was a big part of the team even though she wasn't in the recording booth. She regularly made dinner for 7 or more, (sometimes 10-15) and took care of the children when we were doing evening recording sessions. She is a HUGE BLESSING to me and an asset to our team. :)
With our part of the project finished, I also wanted to thank each of you who have been praying faithfully for us through the whole project. (Don't stop! :) ) Without your prayers, I'm convinced this wouldn't have happened. Thank you for fighting alongside us to bring God's Word to more and more Kriol speakers! Keeping serving with us; you are a huge blessing.
