Dena wrote the first half of NTM@work by herself, with lots of help from her fellow writers in editing and correcting and revising. Boy, there were about a dozen “versions” saved in her documents file.
She told the story of the Budik tribe in Senegal, West Africa. She started with the early days, 20 years ago when the first baptism took place and traveled through the slow, hard, seemingly fruitless years when very little happened. The real joy was writing about today and how the church is functioning in all the spiritual gifts and is reaching out to others.
It was a great story and Dena was able to do interviews when we visited Senegal in November. We spent three days in the Budik village talking to missionaries and Budiks, getting the lowdown.
The long story is an excellent example of most tribal works, slow, discouraging, difficult but tremendously rewarding when God brings things together.
