In August, our team journeyed to the Samburu community in Mabati location to introduce the Audio Bible and establish Bible Listening Groups.
We soon discovered the depth and beauty of Samburu traditions, where men and women do not mix freely during communal gatherings or celebrations. The women are the voices of song and prayer as they often climb the nearby mountains to praise God and plead for rain. The men, guided by their elders, perform blessings, sacrifices, and rituals that safeguard and sustain the community.
The morans, traditionally known as warani (warriors), are often isolated from the rest of the community, charged with guarding their people and traveling long distances in search of pasture for livestock. Because of their nomadic life, they rarely have the opportunity to gather for worship or hear the Word of God.
The Audio Bible is now bridging those divides. The Good News, or “Lomon Supati” in Samburu, found a voice that reached every corner of the community.
Men who attended the Bible listening training shared their joy, saying, “We had longed for a Bible school teacher, but now the audio Bible has become our teacher—speaking to us in our own language.”
