Sunday June 29
We met Judy and Ken Hollingworth (Bible translators from the northern most part of Cameroon) when we first arrived at the SIL property, he welcomed us at 10 PM and got us set up in the guest house. Then the next morning I met Judy as we waited for 10 AM coffee break and she thought my clothes were too hot for Cameroon so lent me two of her cotton dresses to wear while we are here (now everyone thinks I’m Judy when they see me in her dresses!).
The dedication of their New Testament for the Mofou-gudur people was fantastic, several hundred people gathered in a large Presbyterian Church here in Yaound. Special yellow printed cloth material for their matching outfits, men, women and children. Four choirs sang, played local flutes and drums and held their new red translations high as they sang. We had to leave for another meeting after 3 hours and it was still going strong (that’s the African way I’m learning). Pictured here are Ken and Judy, Ken with the Sultan in their village area, the Chief’s guard, church where the dedication was held, drummers for the singers, flute players, far view of the church and balcony with Dan in foreground, and then Georgia with one of the Mofou ladies holding her new Bible.
