Bwisi

View of Bwamba from BundibugyoThe Bwisi area is mountainous and lush. (Uganda)
The Bwisi people live near the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Rebel activity in the area has made language work challenging. After many years of doing foundational linguistic work a Wycliffe family was able to pass the baton to two gifted Babwisi men. These men have caught the vision and are excited to complete the task of translating the Bible for their own people.

He explained to the ten extra pastors that he didn't have the budget for that many, but they could come if they were willing to contribute food to the workshop. The pastors responded that they didn't care about meals—they only wanted to be able to attend the sessions and get the training.
