Central African Republic is about 50% Christian (Catholic and Protestant), 35% native religions and 15% Muslim. The new president who siezed power a few months ago is a Muslim communist who lived in the USSR for 10 years. The French have about 500 men in the country to protect their interests (former colony). The South Africans pulled out their troops after 24 were killed during the fighting trying to prop up the former president.

Another upcoming slaughter that Susan Rice can ignore.

I live next to the JAARS Wycliffe facility in Waxhaw, NC and have met many of the guys that make it happen.

God bless them.

Muslim communist? Do you mean they have another Barack Obama there?

Every written language has the scriptures in it today. What the translators do is find small tribes of a few hundred or so without a written language, invent a written language for them, translate the Bible into that language and then teach the small group how to read the language they just invented and then how to read the Bible.

What I have never understood is why its not better to teach an illiterate group to read a language far more widely written.

Bring back Bokassa!
