In the small village of Cabracancha, nestled in the Andes Mountains of Peru, a woman reclined on a hillside as she listened to her son read a children’s book. Friends and family gathered around, relaxing in the shade of their church building after an afternoon meal.
The boy sounded out words in his language, diligently working his way through the story of Noah and the ark. Some of the people, especially those in the older generation, have never been able to read Quechua. It’s a treat to hear a young person read it to them.
The boy’s mother, Viani Estrada, nodded along word by word.
“It used to be that parents would not allow their children to speak Quechua, and they’d force them to speak Spanish even though none of them really spoke Spanish very well. Since the arrival of the Wanca New Testament, they’ve valued Wanca much more and have begun reading it as a family.”
Read the rest of the article, which includes stories from several other countries. So encouraging to hear about people encountering Jesus through the Word of God in their languages.
