By Adrķan Roca
This testimony is for you, brothers, you live across the sea. I am your
brother, Adrķan Roca Moye; I send this word for you. Even though I haven't seen
you, we who believe in God are brothers together before God's face, because
there is just one God, the one who lives in heaven and made this world and the
heavens and also everything we see.
I continue working for God making radio programs teaching God's Word so that
our relatives (fellow tribal members) continue hearing God's Word by radio. They
are for those who are already believers and also for those who are not yet
believers. I am very concerned for my own relatives, the Chimane people. I want
that they really understand God's Word, so they will grow in God. I am also very
concerned about those who are not yet believers so that they also hear God's
Word by radio and in their meetings. Then if they repent they can be saved.
Therefore I say "Thank you," to God for you because you help us by supplying
for the radio. We also thank God for our brother Bruce (Johnson). He works hard
with me recording God's Word so that our relatives (fellow tribal members) can
hear God's word in our own Chimane language. I hope you continue sending him
funds to our brother Bruce and we will continue working for God teaching our
relatives along with the other who work at the radio station.
We want to keep working for God because there are still many of our relatives
do not yet believe in God, because many of them live far away from here. The
radio station here, FM 105.5 truly helps our brothers who live far away so that
they can continue hearing God's Word.
I also always pray to God for you that God's work done by you and by us also
continues on.
Now the radio broadcasts are reaching out further; people who before couldn't
hear the broadcasts are now able to hear them. We don't know yet the exact
extent of the coverage but we know it is reaching out further than before.
Thanks to God he spoke to you therefore you helped the radio station and you
also gave your offerings for the operating costs of the radio. That comes out as
a great blessing for us in our work for God of giving the Word to our relatives.
This is my testimony for you brothers.

Horeb, July 26, 2004
A testimony for you our brothers who live across the sea:
First I greet all of you of the church (God's group) who follow Jesus Christ
and live across the sea. At the first, many years passed that our forefathers
didn't at all know God's Word, but then afterwards God's time arrive and you
sent the bringers of God's Word, those who knew God's Word.
At the first when they came there wasn't even one of our relatives (fellow
tribal people) who believed in God, neither man or woman, nor did they know how
to praise God nor pray to God. Then the missionaries arrived. First they studied
our language; then when they taught them God's Word. Also they taught them to
read; their thoughts were (plan was) so it wouldn't be hard for them to read
God's Word.
We thank you for helping the bringers of God's because at that time there was
none of it in our language. The missionaries would read in their language and
then tell us in our language. There was God's Word in Spanish but we couldn't
understand Spanish. After many years passed there were many of our relatives who
believed in God, men and women, they knew how to praise God and pray to God.
After a long time our relatives believed and then they themselves preached God's
Word and helped the missionaries.
Then there was progress and even though not all of God's Word was written in
our language in some of the villages there were teachers of the Word. After
awhile some of them stopped preaching because they weren't paid for their living
expenses. But some of us in the villages for many years taught the Word though
we weren't paid.
Now the Bible is in our language and also many Bible study lessons; there is
book with the beginning lessons, one with the second set of lessons, the third
and fourth set also but our relatives have not been taught all of these. There
are also lessons about how we are to work for God. We thank you for helping the
missionaries so they could prepare these. But there is still lots of work
lacking. There needs to be those who go to visit the villages to encourage the
preachers so they continue working.
When God's time arrived then some of us were chosen to work for God. We left
our work in the villages, our houses, our gardens and our relatives and we came
to live here and Horeb to work for God. We make radio programs of God's Word so
that our relatives, men and women, who are believers, and the ones who don't
believe yet can hear.
We are not learned ones, that is we haven't studied in the seminaries where
the Bible is studied. Even so we are believers in God and God's Spirit we
possess in our hearts and he helps us so that we continue studying God's Word so
we step by step know it. In this way God gives us wisdom for the programs we
make. We do not hide the wisdom that God gives us.
I, Rosauro Plata send this.
