YLI’s message all has to do with the heart. Intimacy with God, Love Evangelism, Spiritual Reproduction are not just learned conceptually but known experientially in the depth of our hearts, where God resides. Over the years, YLI’s ministry has gone out from more developed towns into the most remote of villages where we install clean water; places where English fluency is less common. The way into the heart of a people is through their “mother tongue” so we set off on a multi-year project to translate not just words, but vital truths into some of the languages of our Coaches. It’s been beautiful to witness. Just a few weeks ago in Bunjai, Ghana, while our contractor David was installing clean water, Coach Constant Adzomani was there to lead a Basic Training which was translated into local Gonja, Konkomba, and Akan. He later posted on WhatsApp:
“It was unlike any training I have ever attended. All glory to the LORD. 🙌🙌🙌”
And last week, in the upper West of Ghana, I attended a Basic Training where Intern Barnabas (below) led a training of 30 people in the local Waali language with translated student workbooks. It was incredible to hear the students responding to what they were learning in their own language.
