Again it was English to Lingala.  Reuben looked at the origins of tribes and different languages going back to Genesis 11.  He ended up using several different scriptures.  It was a workout because he is also an evangelist and once he got going he was not going to slow down!  I had a couple people comment that they had never seen me so animated, even saying that \u201cPeter was becoming an African today.\u201d  Guess I was a bit out of character.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1073\" style=\"width: 442px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2011\/01\/Reuben-Pete-making-point.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1073\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1073  \" title=\"Reuben, Pete making point\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2011\/01\/Reuben-Pete-making-point.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reuben &amp; Pete working together to make a point<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It was actually fun to follow his actions and movements.  FYI: Reuben is from Nigeria, the head of the Nigerian Evangelical Missions Association (NEMA) and the coordinator for the Movement of African National Initiatives (MANI).<\/p>\n<p>Add to the above, in the afternoon I translated another session with Reuben.  This time he talked about the dangers of intellectualism and higher education in the church.  This was into French for the pastors who were university &amp; seminary graduates.  It was tough at times because of the concepts he used and because I hadn\u2019t spoken that much French for quite a while.  I\u2019m grateful for God\u2019s grace through this all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/ekstrand?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=1064&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cindy and I got a real workout with translation today.
