For almost a year, we have been making steady progress translating a book containing 50 Bible stories into Ludari, the Roma language spoken in our village. This isContinue reading ““He’s reading in our language!” (The Prices Write, October 2019)”

When is a story not a story, and a seed not a seed? (The Prices Write, May 2019, part 2)
The other day we translated the first draft of the 21st Bible story in the Ludari language. This story in the series is not actually a story but rather a lesson which bridges the gap between the 20 stories from the Old Testament and the 29 from the New Testament in order to explain howContinue reading “When is a story not a story, and a seed not a seed?
