Caption: Hekpobaa Afua, who speaks Deg, reads from a Deg New Testament in her literacy class held in the Jama community in the Brong Ahafo Region of central Ghana. This Deg literacy class is being taught by Banewel Mark (not pictured) who is a literacy facilitator with Ghana Institute of Linguistics, Literacy and Bible Translation’s (GILLBT). As an interesting side note, Hekpobaa is currently Muslim but is very interested in the Bible’s teaching. So much so that she left her husband due to religious differences.
