These people have no Scriptures in their own language, and while they speak Spanish, Quechua is their heart language. Oscar and Janet praise God that recently the Cajatambo people received experimental copies of a dramatic recording of selections of Genesis 1-22 along with written copies. This is the first material that they have been able to prepare for the people and they pray that God will work in their hearts to crave more.
