Missionaries and Power

Rachel Issa Djesa

Resume:

Since 1949, Maïdawa Thomas had the vision that his people, the Dii, would one day have the Word of God in their mother tongue. Since then, he dedicated all his life to translating the Holy Scripture. He translated the entire Bible, but instead of having a Bible in the Dii language, he remains rather with this declaration: "The work was well done, but, the application of this masterpiece is not for our times, it is for years to come".
