Saudamini, whose son, Pastor Daniel, is working to translate the entire Bible into Sambalpuri, had never seen the Bible in her heart language or even heard the Scripture in her language. But now she has distributed nearly 5,000 copies of the Book of Matthew to reach her people.
“Now my people will see the light … I believe it will be a turning point,” Saudamini says of a language group with more than 18 million people. “At last my people, who do not understand any other language than Sambalpuri, will have the privilege not only to have the Word of God, but will know Jesus.”
