Pastor Daniel Boe met with a church leader from the Lewo language from the #island of Epi, an island of #Vanuatu. The Lewo people have the New Testament #Bible in their #language, but are requesting help for the Old Testament to be translated. They are also asking for support in helping the local church see the importance of using the #heartlanguage in worship, evangelism, discipleship, youth ministry, and children's ministry #bibletranslation #bibleengagement #literacy image
