Summary

SummaryI’m a Mohawk speaker who grew up on rez in Quebec, and at 17 I heard my own language preached from the pulpit for the first timeβ€”my heart leapt! ❀️ That moment lit a fire in me to give God’s Word back to my people in our mother tongue. For over fifteen years, after long days in Montreal, I’d come home and spend hours translating the Bible into Mohawk 🌾. Night turned into morning, weekends blurred, but I couldn’t stopβ€”I was driven by the Holy Spirit’s strength. Along the way, I rediscovered the character of God: His love, forgiveness, and power to restore. Now, when someone opens the Mohawk Bible, they encounter Creator’s heart in every word πŸ“–. This work isn’t just a book; it’s a legacy for the next generation, ensuring our language and faith endure until Jesus returns. πŸ™Œ

Summary

In this inspiring interview, we follow the remarkable journey of a dedicated man who, driven by the desire to hear his native Mohawk spoken in church, spent over 15 years translating the entire Bible into the Mohawk language. Raised in a community where his mother ensured that only Mohawk was spoken at home despite the oppressive legacy of residential schools, he was moved by the beauty and power of his language at the pulpit. Motivated by a childhood memory of longing for a Bible in his own tongue, he embraced the monumental task of translationβ€”working tirelessly day and night for years. His efforts not only preserve the sacred word for future generations but also reinforce the cultural heritage and spiritual identity of his people.
