Penny Bakewell is working with SIM in northern Ghana on health education & Bible teaching among the Sisala people, particularly women. From her base in the town of Tumu Penny has established a wide-ranging ministry in the town and to outlying villages. A recent success is the rapid increase in the numbers of children attending the church in Tumu and Penny is planning to establish a children's service in response. With Penny's encouragement and support local women have started to come forward to lead devotions and Bible studies.
Tony & Carol Smith are working with Wycliffe translating the Bible into the Muyang language in Cameroon. This is really going well now with most of the New Testament translated apart from some minor epistles and Romans. The translation team are cracking on with this latter and chapters 1-6 are now ready for checking. They have also prepared some books of Old Testament Bible stories which should be printed over the next few months.
