After reading two chapters of Ruth, several of the non-Christians in the group spoke up. They said, "This is such a good story! We didn't know the Bible had good stories in it!"

Mussa answered that the Bible had many excellent stories in it, and that someday many of the stories will be translated into the Ikoma language, so they can read them all they like in their mother tongue. He had not planned on doing evangelism when he went out to the village to test the Ruth translation, but it seems a few small seeds of interest were planted that day.
