He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”

--- Matt. 13:31-33 NIV

Here is a baby palm tree.

The Igala proverb:
Ebune kpokpe, i mu d'ayiko.

Translation:
After a while, the baby chick becomes a rooster.

The meaning:
Given time, the small will grow.

For fluency and comprehension in reading the Igala Bible,
Esther Nordman

Here is a full-grown palm tree.

Please pray that in God's good time, all our efforts will grow into a wonderful curriculum, many books on different reading levels, and more and more people becoming fluent readers of the Bible in their own language.
