While I was at Timothy's place for the workshop, the Cabecar team began planning the logistics for the dedication of the revised New Testament they had been working on since shortly after they realized that the New Testament his father worked so many years to produce contained grievous errors, not the least of which was the use of a name for God that would imply to the uninitiated that God's character was unholy.
David kindly sent me photos of the event:
Someday there may be a full Cabecar Bible and a Ngäbe New Testament dedicated in much the same way, in part because so many people sent me down to help with the process. Thanks and blessings to my Costa Rica team!
