In today's final episode in their visit with the David Bonsell family, Craig and LaDonna dig into the details as to how this multi-generational family actually did the translation process. It's important to know that with David, Sr., and David, Jr., there are some difficult medical complications that provide major barriers to overcome in taking on such a huge project as the translation of a two hundred page plus book from English into Spanish. Thanks to both old fashioned hard work and the assistance of the modern generation's breakthrough technology, the project was finally completed in late 2024 and is now ready to go from TRM's online store out to a brand new audience living all over the world. Whether it be an actual printed copy of Fe Indigena, or an e-book version found on Amazon.com, etc., the over 1/2 billion Spanish speaking world can now understand how to live biblically healthy lives in the context of their cultures and tribal traditions. We trust the programs were as interesting to you listening as it was for LaDonna and Craig when they interviewed this amazing family in their home in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. Be sure to get your copy of either version, English or Spanish, if you don't have your own copy yet. Just go to the Smiths tribalrescue.com online store to order your copy. And don't forget to join us next week as we launch into a new episode of Indigenous Faith! We'll see you then!

In part two of this special edition of Indigenous Faith, Craig and Ladonna Smith continue in sharing not only the story, but the backstory of the translation of Craig's Indigenous Faith book into Spanish. The Smiths continue their visit with three generations of the David Bonsell family, the colleagues who devoted so much time and energy into this translation project. In today's episode, you'll hear from all three generations involved in the work, and hear each of their unique perspectives on both the process, and the work of God in each generation. It's a fascinating continuation of the Bonsell family story, and how their multi- generational knowledge was applied to the project, including modern technology of today, and the old fashioned process of a word by word scrutiny resulting in as accurate a translation as possible. Craig and LaDonna know that by the time this series is completed, you will come to love and appreciate the Bonsell family as much as they do. It's a great partnership between Native America and Hispanic America to reach every tribe, language, people and nation for the gospel and the glory of God! Now that's worth a listen, so, come on in!

Today the Smith's begin a three part series as they celebrate the translation of Craig's Indigenous Faith book into the Spanish language! That's right, this new version can now go into the over one half billion Spanish speaking world to help Indigenous believers in those cultures learn to live a biblically healthy life in the context of their tribal traditions and cultures. Today, the Smith's introduce you to the three generations of the David Bonsell family who took the time to meticulously go over the book's content, and translate it as close to what Craig wanted to convey when he wrote it in English. It also maintains a strong commitment to the Scriptures as the foundation for all Craig shares. You'll grow to love the Bonsell family, including the 84 year old patriarch, David, Sr., his wife, Anna, son David, Jr. and wife Michelle, and daughter Laura, who represents her two other sisters who were not able to join us on the day we recorded this inspirational and informational visit. Today, the Smiths introduce David and Anna, and you get to hear their story of faith and calling as Hispanic believers into the mission field of Mexico. You'll also hear of the great challenges David, Jr., has gone through, who, like Craig, lives his life confined to a wheelchair. You'll hear from Anna, who, as she read the book, realized just how important it is, and how she wished they had a book like Indigenous Faith when they served among animistic tribes in Mexico. This further affirms the validity of the book, in either language, as an important tool that uniquely addresses Christian faith and practice among former animistic people. In episodes to come you'll learn more about this wonderful family, and just how they undertook the huge process of translating this book into Spanish. There's some relevant and important things to listen to and learn from in today's and upcoming episodes of Indigenous Faith. Craig and LaDonna are thrilled to have you along once again for the journey! So let's go to the program for the first installment of Celebrating the Indigenous Faith's Book's Translation into Spanish series!
