Maasai?

Have you ever heard the word Massai? Do you know what it is about?

How would it feel if you or I could put a Bible into the hands of a pastor, who has never had a Bible, in another country?

Back to the first question...
The Maasai are a people group who live in Tanzania and Kenya, in east Africa. They live in the Maasailand and speak Maasai.




Now, back to the Bible question...
What would it be like to place a Bible into the hands of a Maasai pastor, in his own language? Or what would it be like to be part of that process of getting it there? That's what I want to find out. A complete Bible cost $4.50* (US). So, for about what it costs to get a Starbucks coffee drink, you or I could provide a complete Bible in Maasai to place into the hands of a Maasai pastor. What a great thought! =)

Children are very important to me, so this sounds amazing to me as well...think about this...
Imagine placing a Maasai New Testament Bible into the hands of a child. The child could then learn at a young age about Jesus Christ and live a full life with a relationship with Him- not caught up in things in this life that don't satisfy. Well, a New Testament in Maasai only cost $2.85* (US). How about that!

That sounds like something I want to be part of...how about you?
