Ruben is working with Bible Society to translate Scripture into Kabiye. ‘The word of God is the light for my life,’ he says. ‘It’s the guide for my life. It’s the daily leading code of everybody’s life.’
Kabiye is Togo’s second national language. Christians among the million Kabiye-speakers might study the Bible in the country’s other national language, Ewe, or its official language of French. This sort of second-hand learning is frustrating for Ruben, who wants people to know God in their own language.
‘It has been difficult to translate and transmit the Bible’s message in Kabiye,’ Ruben says. ‘It’s very complicated. But with the translation, it will be easy. For example, it can be difficult to explain what funerals are. It’s hard to explain certain traditions and why as Christians we shouldn’t do certain things.’
Supporters here in England and Wales are standing with Ruben to drive forward this urgently needed translation. Forty-eight people have taken the step of twinning their own Bibles with the Kabiye Bible. Each has made an investment of at least £60, helping translate multiple verses and bringing God’s word closer to Kabiye speakers.?
The full Bible in the Kabiye language will revolutionise the faith of struggling believers and open up the Bible for those yet to believe.
Ruben says: ‘When the Bible is translated it will be easy to help Kabiye people understand how to live out their new lives in Christ for the glory of God.’?
TO WATCH
Ruben’s colleague, Pastor Tchamié Essokilina, discuss his passion to complete the translation of the Bible into Kabiye.

My Bible
Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
Yesterday, I became aware that I wasn’t really trusting God and his promises. It’s the everyday things that preoccupy me: financial worries, an elderly mother. Also, I have been ill in the past and I know that I need to trust God for the future. Having been ill has made me think about my own mortality and frailty. Now, I have peace about that, but there was lots of turmoil before. ?
‘So yesterday, I read the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. I read it over and over. It was a balm for my soul. It brought me peace. I had a beautiful, peaceful night’s sleep after that!
‘It’s such a beautiful thing. It’s so simple, but it tells you how to live. It’s so well-known that it’s easy to forget it, but I know now that I will start every time of prayer with the Lord’s Prayer. It’s given me a fresh way of thinking, which is a surprise for something that I know as well as all that.’?

Please keep the precious children who received your shoeboxes in your prayers.
May they have studied the Greatest Gift book and volunteered for The Greatest Journey course. May they have a true sense of God's love and know that we care for them.

SCRIPTURE
Matthew 10: 42
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
To give a cup of cold water, even just a drink, to one of the least of Jesus’ followers, is to be blessed, to receive a reward.
PRAYER
That’s what Jesus told his fledgling disciples. He was telling them how rewarding giving can be.
Help us never to take clean water for granted.
