Ralph and Cindy Shead from LIterature and Teaching Ministries (LATM), based in Joplin, Missouri, speak at Town & Country Christian Church's Vacation Bible School this week. The couple were missionaries in Chile for 24 years before joining LATM. Now they work to provide religious books into the hands of people, such as the Maasai, who need Christian books written in their own languages. The Maasai are a semi-nomadic people living in parts of Kenya and Tanzania who speak the Maa language.
