Working with deaf people
Each country has its own sign language, a fully-fledged language. Deaf and hard-of-hearing people form the largest group not yet reached by the Gospel. We love contributing through our work so they can discover the Word of God in their heart language.

Bible translation touches hearts
During a review of Genesis with the Koo-Poleo team, a church leader read aloud a passage translated into his language. After a few minutes, tears rolled down his cheeks. Moved, he explained: "For the first time, I understand every word I read, without having to ask for the meaning of expressions."

Going on mission as a family
Moving to Cameroon with our three young children was a challenge, but we don't regret our choice! We are able to work part-time, enjoy precious family moments, and work closely with local teams. The community we form with other families supports us on a daily basis and gives our children playmates.

Discovering the value of the written language
During a visit to Saluan villages, the inhabitants warmly and emotionally welcomed illustrated traditional stories printed in their language. Upon hearing them read aloud, many could not hold back their tears. Seeing their language written in a book was a major discovery. We hope these readings will pave the way for the future Bible translation.

Collaborating from Switzerland with an African team
These three weeks of workshops in Africa motivate me all year long in my office work. I will never forget the pride of local translators discovering a document printed in their language, nor the emotion generated by the Jesus film. Their passion to make the Bible accessible to their community is contagious!
