One of the stories in our latest magazine was about the astonishing transformation God worked among the Pinai-Hagahai when the word of God came to them. The translated Scriptures were distributed on solar-powered media players. Read what happened when one family’s media player broke…
"Scriptures in my language"
‘What would you be willing to do to hear God’s Word in your language? Would you hike for half a day? Would you cross a rugged mountain? Would you navigate a vine bridge suspended over a raging river?
‘That’s what Wapena Mei did in order to obtain a small solar-powered device that has a recording of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts in the Pinai-Hagahai language. You see, Wapena knew it would be worth the trip because he had already been listening to the oral Scriptures for more than a year. But when his family’s player broke and they learned that 70 more would be distributed in a village across the mountain, his wife gave him the charge, “Go and get us another one of those MegaVoice units.”
‘Wapena was successful in his mission and he and his wife Makome will again be able to listen to the Pinai-Hagahai Scriptures in their small dwelling as they go to sleep at night. Wapena also uses it as a resource to prepare sermons for preaching in area churches.’ Account by Karen Weaver. Read more on thewordislife.net.

Pinai-Hagahai is a language of Papua New Guinea, the country with the greatest need for Bible translation in the world. Wapena Mei can hear God’s word in his language, but many more in his country and around the world have never heard even a single verse. Share God’s Story.
