Our coworker with the tribal people, José, has known Piri for some time. But just a couple of months ago, out of the blue, Piri asked José what pecado meant.
“Pecado is the Portuguese word for when you don’t do what God wants you to do,” José tried to explain in Portuguese.
José could tell that Piri wasn’t fully grasping what he was telling him. Piri is one of the better Portuguese speakers in the village but still has trouble communicating in the national language.
“Wait, Piri. The day will come when we will be able to speak your language and teach you and your people about sin,” José told his friend.
Please continue to pray with us that soon Piri and and his people will be able to hear what God’s Word says about sin in their own language.
