Getting the Word Into the Hands of Believers & Seekers

Tenin Name (lt) and Mario Mbana (ctr) examine the New Testament volumes in our local language, Upper Guinea Creole. Afriend, Alasan looks on. Tenin & Mario serve on the Church Council.
A few years back I set down some of my life principles- things that essentially make me tick. The second on that list is what I call the ‘Can-do principle’. The section concludes with: “if in your heart you have the confidence God is opening doors for you, walk boldly through them in spite of the detractors.” That’s a polite way of saying- don’t take no for an answer and always have ‘plan B’ waiting in the wings.


I could tell numerous stories of how that principle has positioned me well in forging ahead with God’s Kingdom here in West Africa, a part of our world where the Enemy has long held sway. He thought he could impede the expansion of God’s Kingdom into his territory by making it difficult to us to have Bibles for seekers and those desiring to leave the darkness and move into the light.
