As we know, there are little chances that a church movement would survive if God’s Word was not available in a format the people can understand. 

Part of our engagement with UUPG’s is providing audio translations of God’s Word in their own language. We focus on audio translations because a vast majority of UUPG’s are oral communities; they live and learn primarily through verbalization, such as storytelling. Many of these types of communities are actually not familiar with writing and print. 

It makes a great difference in the peoples’ lives when Scripture is available in their own heart language. Many of these people are aware that God’s Word is available in their country’s main trade language, but they don’t believe that such a Big God would also speak their tribal language.  When they finally hear God speaking their own language in audio form, there is a much greater response from the individuals as they immerse themselves into the stories.
