Week #2 in Mississippi

Priska and I have had various projects to keep us busy this week! We have worked with Laura Christel to help organize files/supplies in the CBTC office, and have begun to prepare materials for the upcoming Choctaw Indian Fair, which is one of the main opportunities for the CBTC to distribute materials and gather support.

Because there are some Choctaw elders who struggle to see, and other Choctaws who have not learned to read their language (although they do read English), the CBTC spends a good deal of time and effort putting out audio recordings of hymns and Scripture. In support of this endeavor, Priska and I have had the opportunity to work with some Choctaw pastors to begin recording short audio devotionals, which will eventually be produced on CD. Priska has also been working with Elijah to create an audio recording of the gospel of Matthew in the modern Choctaw translation. They have gotten through chapter 5, with more on the way! :)
