Bibles for Africa

Search·Home·Tracking

The Maasai language is very different from Swahili. We are able to purchase Bibles for the Maasai people in their language. These cost approximately $5.75 if we buy 500 at a time, or about $9.00 for 100 or more.

Daniel from the Maasai area, said that a man was walking on the road, and found a "Earth's Final Warning" magazine, (in Swahili language) lying n the mud. He picked it up, dusted it off as well as he could, and read it. He is now attending church each week. "Earth's Final Warning", and "Behold He Cometh" were shipped in a 40' container to Kenya. These were provided by Cornerstone Publishing in Washington.

This is a group of Maasai people that are receiving Bibles. They are meeting under a shelter, and are waiting for a church to be built. The chief of the area has donated land for the church.

Most of the Maasai are nomadic throughout the year. They live in kraals - small clusters of cow-dung huts that are constructed by the women. Milk, either fresh or curdled, is the basic Maasai food. It is often mixed with blood, tapped from a cow's jugular. When these people accept the gospel, they make dramatic changes in the lives, in their way of eating, in their entire lifestyle.

The Maasai people almost always have some "red" in their dress. This is usually in the form of some type of wrap, or shawl. This represents the value they place on blood - "the life is in the blood". (See Leviticus 17:11-14) As we travel, the Maasai people are beside the road with their flocks. Many have very little clothes on, but they almost always have some type of a red garment. We want these people to know about the blood of Jesus, that was shed for them, and for each one of us.


	It will cost approximately $9500.00 - 10,000.00 to build the block church, as they are in a remote area and to transport the building materials will be costly.

	The Maasai people have a reputation for being a very fierce, primitive people. They also are very primitive in their spiritual lives. The Maasia people that we have met, have been very friendly and warm to us. They are asking for many more Maasai Bibles. When we started the work in Kenya 5+ years ago, we met approximately 10 people that were Christians. Now with the 2 Maasai groups that we work with, there are over 150 people that have become Christians. They in turn, are beginning to work in other Maasai areas to teach their people about Jesus Christ.
