Elvis is alive and well and translating the Bible in Central African Republic!
And Elvis was an atheist!
Sorry, not this Elvis, the Elvis of the album cover, but Elvis Guenekean! Elvis, from Central African Republic, was an eager student of humanistic philosophy and dead set against the Christian faith. But as he got involved in translating the Scriptures into his own language and, as his Christian wife persistently prayed for him, God’s Word brought Elvis into a relationship with Jesus. That’s why Wycliffe Bible Translators do what we do!
There are lots of great stories around the Wycliffe Bible Translators websites and blogs at the moment, but I really enjoyed this one about Elvis Guenekean from the Central African Republic.
Wycliffe colleagues working on this project have come home to UK and Elvis is now leading the project!
