awesome, receiving the gift of God in their own language ...first time, giving them joy to be in the presence the Lord Jesus. the Holy Spirit, let Him pour unto them that thirst for the Word. Hallelujah!!!
Americans and liberal Christians have gone away from the Bible as the expressed Word of God and in those churches a verse or two is mentioned in a sermon but it is not really taught ... a disturbing trend ... for quite a long while. When the Word is studied and hidden in the heart with belief ... what you see on this video is what happens. God's Word become a special treasure. Ask yourself my Christian friend, "What is it that they know that you don't?"
This brought tears to my eyes.Matthew 24:14 The Gospel must be preached throughout the whole world,then the end will come.The king of kings is 5 minutes away,satan your time is nearly up.
And yet while evangelicals in America are still being served milk from the Word and rarely crack their Bibles outside of Saturday night or Sunday morning, these people have and will be eating the solid food that can be digested by the spiritually mature. This should push American Christians to grow in spiritual maturity.
Praise the LORD!! Rev 5:9 !! I'm part of the Bibleless People Prayer Project and am praying for group in Indonesia (and also in Pakistan) to receive the Scriptures!
This is a wonderful thing, How would I start a project to get God's word (psalms) put to meter so that could also sing God's word. What a wonderful thing it would be to hear Psalm 100 sung to the Glory of God by these people which in fact I am sure many are His people.
PRAISE THE LORD FOR THIS SHOWING OF THE FAITH OF CHRISTIANS TRULY IN THE WORD! " HE DID NOT EXALT HIMSELF BUT BECAME A BONDSERVANT AND REMAINED OBEIDANT UNTO DEATH EVEN DEATH ON THE CROSS.THEREFORE GOD GAVE HIM THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME. THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH, AND EVERY TOUNGE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD TO THE GLORY OF THE FATHER" --PHILLIPIANS 2
PRASIE THE LORD!!!!!!! PRAAAAAAASIE THE LIVING JESUS!!!
It is my hope that their original traditions were also preserved. I hope that they weren't coerced into receiving these missionaries as a result of contact.
@CrashN2mi - You do understand that as nice as that sounds, if there are "original traditions" that are contrary to Christ's teachings, the two cannot co-exist, right? Either one chooses to believe and follow their own wisdom, or they choose to follow God's Wisdom. Christianity is not an inclusive message, nor is it meant to be. It is exclusive, providing that there is only one source for Truth.
That said, I hope they still preserve their heritage, just not false sources of truth. :)
@CrashN2mi I agree with you. I just saw a documentary about the same area that was covered 20 years ago. They were a freer people and the women had a more important role.
WOW! That really helps to put our priorities into perspective. I could tell just how important the Word of God is to them. This really humbled me. I have a love for His Word, but after seeing this video it makes my love be so much stronger! Bind the devil!!!! Jesus is alive!!!!
More than wonderful. Thank you to the translation team for transforming people's lives through giving them THE WORD in their language. Their faces say it all.
So touching, these people are blessed and this video has brought tears to my eyes, how they treasure the Word of God and how we , who have had it for a long time in our languages have taken God's Word for granted.Father i thank You for Your Word.
Halleluiah! Thank you Shirley Jones for sharing this praise report to glorify our LORD for His faithfulness & truths reaching out to the Kimyal tribe, the world is asking about these people & others they care if God is reaching them. Thanks be to our LORD His arm is not too short & His children lack nothing, & no good thing will God withhold to those that love Him. Bless the LORD o my soul with all that is within me bless His holy name amen!
Amazing. Totally amazing. This is how we ought to treat the word of God, the Bible, DAILY. Thank you for reminding us, people of Kimyal. God has already blessed you indeed! May God grant all of us hearts like yours.
VERY FEW THINGS CAN MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY. As I held my Bible to my heart, the scene of these precious people honoring God's Word brought praise and gratitude from my mouth and tears of joy to my eyes. Lord, thank you for the scriptures.

This is a very moving film. May I clarify dudeforherbs' comment, "Missionaries use the Bible, logic, and persuasion". Missionaries are people who depend on God to direct them to people and places where God uses them to usher Him into the lives of those who do not know Him! Missionaries use no logic other than God's and missionaries cannot persuade anyone, other than through the work of The Holy Spirit!
Crazy cultural imperialism? No. Imperialism is done using guns and bullets. Missionaries use the Bible, logic, and persuasion. And if a group of Saudi's go to Alabama and spread Islam, how is that different than what goes on everyday? We have freedom of religion in Alabama.

Thank xkrazy201x for those verses. I read them all! I also was thinking about Matthew 24.14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come"
So amazing! We have taken the Bible for granted! How many copies do we have in our homes? So happy and excited for these people! Thank you to all the folks that let God work through you to accomplish His purpose! Glory to God!
@sarainails Read these verses: Matthew 24:48-51, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5, Revelation 3:3, Joel 2:1, Ezekiel 33:1-9, and finally Genesis 7:4, 10-11 - He is coming sooner than most people think.
Many of the "first" WILL BE last and the "last" WILL BE first. The western world would view these folks as poverty-stricken, living out in the wilderness. But they are rich beyond comprehension. As one of the brothers from the Cross Movement said, "eternity is a real long time." These precious souls will rejoice in that "real long time" while those who rejected Yeshua's redemption will wail.
@evethezealot Amen Eve, my heart leaped with joy. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the Gospel. God's word is living! It's transcultural, trans-generational and eternal.
This is awesome. I never experienced anything like this. I hope to see them one day. Have seen, and had fellowship with the tribals in different areas. But this is unique. Wow. How much the translators worked, sacrificed. The joy of these precious saints... amazing. These are precious souls. Amen.
Of the Servant of the Lord, Jesus, God says “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations" Is. 42:6 The light has shown to the nations, including those created by God in Papua, Indonesia. Praise the Lord!!!
God has used the Kimyal pastors and teachers to embed a love for Jesus, the living Word of God, into the hearts of these people. It is an amazing privilege to hear God speak to them in their own language - something we have long taken for granted. Thank-you for this powerful reminder of the treasure I have, in the very Words of God spoken to me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You silly missionaries. These people are not the lost sheep of the house of Israel. They are the beasts of the field, heathen. You're wasting your time over there.
"I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and {men of every} language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed." Daniel 7:14
And this happened in 2010! God is great! His Word and Spirit still moves hearts! It reminds me of the Great Awakenings and Revivals that happened in America and other places in the world.
I have just been motivated to contribute to Bibles Unbound, a ministry of the Voice of the Martyrs, which sends Bibles to countries in their native languages and helps persecuted believers... God works in amazing ways!
Kimyalkidd, Mike and I have been priviledged to be part of the Bible Translation ministry in Papua for the last 15 years. We are thrilled to watch this video and it makes our hearts weep for joy and for the realization that there are people STILL WAITING. Thank you and Rosa for being on the front lines of this work. Thank you for sharing ti now. Mary
My wife Rosa and I consider our involvement with the Kimyal tribe the greatest privilege of our lives. As we reflect on the experience of the Bible Dedication, we are deeply humbled that the Lord allowed us to be a part of something so amazing. I am so thinkful we said, yes, when God called us to this ministry in 1972!!
These people are such an incredible witness to those of us who have so much and yet are so blind. "Our hearts are no longer heavy, they are light!" Thank you, Kimyal people!
The Kimyal people make me aware more than ever that the Word of God is a treasure that gives light and life to us. Because it has been so available to us, we treat it casually.
Blessed poor in the spirit.
