Monday Proverb

(note from Thom: Proverbs have tremendous cultural value here and matching local proverbs with key scriptures is a wonderful tool to starting a conversation about the Gospel.)

Wolof proverb:

Gàcce ak xamadi, laajul a ko indi.

(translation) Failing to ask brings shame and ignorance.

“You do not have, because you do not ask God.” James 4:2 NIV
