Earlier today, we had the opportunity to interact with our Machakos partners and share our vision during a Partners’ Breakfast held in Machakos. The meeting brought together heads of schools, representatives from our partner learning institutions, church leaders, county government representatives, and corporate partners.

Led by our Executive Director, Mr. Samuel Kakui, we reflected on the milestones we have achieved together, highlighted the impactful work currently underway, and shared our focus and vision for the year ahead. We thank God to witness the enthusiasm and commitment from our partners, who reaffirmed their willingness to support us in the mission of reaching the unreached with God’s Word in their heart language.

As we look forward, we are excited about the upcoming Machakos Run for the Bibleless, scheduled for July 11, 2026.

A journey of transforming lives and strengthening the community: Upper Pokomo Audio Bible.

As the Upper Pokomo Literacy classes continue to flourish and are on the right track, a total of 120 learners are actively participating and taking advantage of the opportunity to gain knowledge and deepen their faith. This journey is transforming lives and strengthening the community in remarkable ways.

One of the most inspiring milestones is the progress made by the Audio Bible Listening Group leaders, who have now begun conducting Bible studies within their respective locations. This is a positive development, as many people previously lacked a culture of Bible study.

Even among those who desired to study Scripture, many lacked proper guidance on how to lead or participate effectively. Additionally, those who participated often lacked proper guidelines for conducting such studies. Thanks to this initiative, many individuals have been reintegrated into their respective churches through Oral Bible storytelling. They are happily serving and participating in church activities.

This milestone is a significant achievement for the Upper Pokomo community. The people can now confidently engage with God’s Word, apply it to their daily lives, and actively participate in Bible study groups for spiritual growth and transformation.

The Nyamusa Project:

This week marks an inspiring milestone for the Nyamusa community, as the Nyamusa staff engages with community members to review the Gospel of Luke. This follows the successful completion of the consultant checking process earlier this month.

We are grateful to the community members, whose ongoing support is helping to advance efforts in Bible translation, literacy, and language development. The Nyamusa project is among the communities we serve in South Sudan.

The Gichuka New Testament is now available on the Audio Bible App, along with five Old Testament books. This accomplishment marks a significant advancement in making God’s Word more accessible to a wider audience.

This is a significant transformation! It serves the current generation and will greatly impact future generations as well. People can now hear and understand Scripture in the language closest to their hearts.

Let us continue to pray for the ongoing work of translating the Old Testament.
