New Bible Dedicated
The Alyawarr Mini-Bible is in the hands of Alyawarr-speaking Christians after a small ceremony in Central Australia last Sunday.
The Flying BibleMan joined an enthusiast group of travellers from Wycliffe's 'Kangaroo Ground' base who made the journey to Alice Springs in a Coaster bus.
From Alice they ventured north, turning off the Stuart Highway and bouncing along some 300kms of dirt road before abandoning the bus, crossing the river on foot and then hitching a ride to Irrultja community by 4WD vehicle.
A communion service preceeded the dedication. The moment that everyone was there for came around soon enough and the Bible was read in Alyawarr.
Phil gave a short speech commending the translators for their patient and painstaking work on behalf of the Bible Society in Australia.
The new Bible has been made available by the Bible Society at a subsidised price of just AU$18.
Pictures will be added to the photo gallery of this site soon.
