Hearing the Gospel in Their Heart Language for the First Time
Cole and Hannah Hinderager minister among the Northern Isnag people of the Philippines. The church finished the Old Testament teaching in July and is now studying the Gospels. “Pray our friends truly understand and believe [that] they cannot be good enough on their own and see Jesus as God's perfect solution to our problem. And pray for all the little conversations. We see this is an area [in which] we need the Lord's wisdom and courage ... knowing when to ask questions, when to press deeper, when to correct or clarify and when to remain quiet.
“Many other groups have taught in national languages or even English, but this is the first time our friends have heard God's Story in their heart language. ‘I'm able to understand this time’ is a phrase we've heard on repeat.”
This video tells the story of the Northern Isnag Bible translation. The Hinderagers are “church planting within this same language group, but in a different location that has not yet seen a maturing church established.”
