One of the things we do every year in our Passport Adventure Club is learn John 3:16 in one of the primary languages of the region we are studying.  For Africa, we chose Swahili – we’ll save the Arabic of Northern Africa for another year!  🙂

Here is the written version:

John 3:16  (Yohana tatu kumina sita)

Kwa maana jinsi hii Mungu aliumtoa mwanawe wa pekee, ili kila mtu amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele.

Follow along as you listen to a native speaker saying this verse:

 

Don’t be intimidated.  You’ve got this!
