“The Word of God has brought many benefits in my life. I no longer wake up with fear because of bad dreams. God has given me peace.” These are the words of Kukuye Muanduhuviliya, an artist and translator for the Camucuio Cluster. Joao Bartolomeu, who reported on this translation, confirmed that this translator’s family had noticed the difference at home, and the village were surprised at the difference that the Word of God had made in Muandhuviliya’s life. It has become a routine in the artist’s house to tell stories and pray before bed.

When Mukaa Mbengera Tjivaro received an MP3 player loaded with Bible passages in Himba, she listened to it day and night, driven by a deep thirst she didn’t understand. One day, she approached a visiting pastor to talk about it. He told her about Jesus and she immediately gave her life to Christ. “Since then,” she said, “I have joy in my heart that has never departed from me. I feel that I am one of the luckiest people to have this tool, because it has changed my life.”

Among many people that praise God for the Esaka Translation Program, is Adelino Warocha. He is a resident of Memba district in Nampula province, which is 300km from where Alua is located, but shares the same Esaka language. He came all the way, searching for the audio Bible. In his testimony he said: “I am amazed how we understand the Word of God which is translated into our mother tongue. [It] is clear and easy to understand. Before I always thought that the Bible is difficult to read and to understand. But since I heard this audio Bible radio I have come all the way to purchase one.’’
