Bible is recorded as an audio bible in the local tribal language. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The tribe had shared the question with Lucas if there would be structural missionaries again.\u00a0In the past, missionaries lived among them who learned the tribal language and translated the New Testament into writing for them.\u00a0The Old Testament is not yet in the tribal language.\u00a0Although they can speak the Portuguese language, the Portuguese Bible is too difficult to understand.\u00a0Nor is it their native language and so the Bible stays far away.\u00a0The question is whether we can help them explain the Bible.\u00a0Since it is possible, even asked, to live (periodically) among them, it is also possible to learn the tribal language.\u00a0They are very excited that we have a desire to learn their language and would like to help us with it!\u00a0We are grateful that God let us walk step by step in His plan.\u00a0Thankfully we are allowed to serve this indigenous population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
