A Nation within a Nation

A Nation within a Nation

What about a dying Native American language? Should it be recorded? Who would listen?
Those are some of the questions raised in one of our newer projects. But consider this... until recently, many of these now dying Native American languages didn’t even have the Bible translated into their heart language.  How long has it taken the church to reach our own Native American population with Scriptures in their heart language?

Will people listen?  Yes. And in this specific case, the tribal group has been unusually resistant to any presentation of God’s Word.  An isolated, threatened, nation within a nation, will now hear God’s Word in their heart language. It could make all the difference.
