Translation in Malawi

1. The publication of the two gospels has helped to revive the language and choirs can now compose and sing in their mother tongue.

2. John Kadalinga: "One lady saw me chatting with a friend outside our house. She asked me if had some gospels at home. I gave her one, not knowing that many would also want some and I ended up engaging myself into a simple distribution. A lady said this came at just the right time. To her it was like that Samaritan woman who met Jesus at the well."

In Malawi, The Word for the World creates a buzz throughout the Lambya people. Because of the Bible translation effort in this region (led by John Kadalinga), people have begun to understand Jesus’ love for them personally. Their language is experiencing a revival as choirs now can compose and sing in their mother tongue. Now they know that God speaks to them in their heart language!
