The Lese people celebrated like never before when they heard the Christmas story for the first time in their own language. They celebrated because they thought this day would never come. They thought God didn’t know them, that God doesn’t know their language.
“People thought you couldn’t translate the Bible into our language, because God chose other languages,” says Rebecca Tabho. After following God’s call on her life for 17 years, she has had the joy of showing her community that they were wrong. God speaks Lese, too.
“People see it as a great miracle,” she says. It is a miracle she never imagined she would be part of.
