“I’m telling you man, there’s no kick like the one you get when you tell these stories to those who’ve never heard.” That’s what Jerry Robertson said to me as he and his wife Carol worked on translating Scripture into the Nafana language.

Crossing the Border
There has been a feud between Soko, Cote d’Ivoire and Sampa, Ghana since earlier this year when a Ghanaian taxi driver hit a young boy and ran from the scene.
