Hewers of wood

‘For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake’ 2 Corinthians 4:5

On Sunday we heard from Philip and Judy Hewer who are heading back to Africa on Thursday to continue their work with the Kasena people of northern Ghana. 

Working in the Kasem language, Philip will be translation-checking Old Testament books Isaiah and Chronicles in preparation for publication of the full Kasem Bible next year.  The Kasem New Testament was published in 1988.  

 

The Hewers have been involved in this work for many years, last permanently based in Tamale from 2000-2006.  Please pray for safe travel and readjustment to the culture and conditions over the next few weeks.

You can follow their progress on Philip's blog.
