Monday Proverb

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

Tuareg proverb:
Ta n-ameri salah, ta n-amiksan sadsa.

(translation) The (word) of a friend makes you cry; the (word) of an enemy makes you laugh.

“Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts, but profuse are the kisses of an enemy.” Proverbs 27:6 NIV
