Instead of preparing this course in Spanish or in English and then later translating it into Quechua, we have prepared it entirely in Quechua from the ground up, employing natural language and thought patterns so that it might be readily understandable to Quechua speakers. Our hope is that they might not only learn the material in their own language, but also familiarize themselves with how to speak about the Bible in their mother tongue.
