We have also started working on a Swahili Worship CD. The motivation for
this CD is to provide a resource to missionaries and other non-Swahili
speakers.
One thing that those of us who are not native Swahili speakers often
sacrifice is the privilege of worshiping in a language that we not only
understand but have grown to a point that we truly worship as we sing. This
CD will contain common songs that are sung everywhere.
There will be an accompanying booklet that will contain the Swahili words,
their English translations, a glossary of common words, and an article on
worship and suggestions for worshiping in this culture. [Locals] James and
Nthenya are working with me on this project.
I have dreamed of this worship CD since 2003. We are very excited about
this project. By learning the songs on the CD and its vocabulary, the vision is
that they will have more freedom in worship as they now understand the
language.
Please continue to pray for Linda and her ministry as she connects this part of the
world with Christ!
