This is the story of the Apal community’s commitment to translating God’s Word into their own language. God blessed their prayers and perseverance, and turned them into understanding and joy. This is a celebration of a journey filled with challenges, victories, and the goodness of God, with a once Bibleless people expressing gratitude for finally having the Bible in their own language.
