Tuesday and Wednesday of this week we met in the village of Ipil to do a language evaluation for our Bogkalot partners. They have been living in Bicol and studying two of the Agta heart languages (Buhinon & In-Agta) since June. This evaluation allowed us to see how far they have progressed and showed them where they need to continue practicing and improving. They sat down with a native speaker and had a get-to-know-you conversation, described a process, told a story from their life, shared their testimony, summarized a story from the Bible, and explained the meaning of a Bible verse... ALL in their new language! It was so encouraging to see how much they have learned in the last 6 months, and an incredible blessing to hear the Gospel proclaimed in the heart languages of our people group. The rest of December will be full of trainings to get them ready to begin teaching the Word, in their new languages, starting in January. We are full of anticipation for all that the Lord will do in the coming months!
some people from the village joined us for worship in the morning
