Isaac's understanding of Jesus was transformed while watching the the "JESUS" film in his language, Kabras. He now helps the Kabras project team arrange showings in isolated villages where people like him have never understood church services held only in English and Swahili. Thank You, Father, for welcoming over 40 people who speak the Kabras language into Your family during the last few months. Kabras - Kenya 📍
