Joy as Pokot will be reading Bible in own tongue

NAIROBI, Kenya -Translation of the Bible into a vernacular language that began over 30 years ago has been completed, and now the Pokot people can read the Word of God in their own mother-tongue.
The Pokot are still largely a pastoralist community, inhabiting the dry, remote and marginalized plains of north-western Kenya and spreading out into Uganda. According to the Bible Society of Kenya, the entire Bible is available in only 17 Kenyan languages. There are another 15 language groups with only the New Testament and another three with just a portion of the Scriptures.
