Translation Finished – February 2016

The Translation for the dear P Nation is now off to the Publishers!!

A big PRAISE to the Lord for His great strength and guidance and wisdom and perseverance as HE has allowed us to cross the finish line on this long project. We are most thankful indeed. And so thankful too for all of you, for your love, your words of encouragement, your prayers, your partnering with us, and so much more. Thanks so much for being such a great team!!

The Holy Scriptures

The powerful truths of the Word of God were first introduced to these dear people back in 1983 when we began to teach them. And right along with that teaching was the translation of Scripture, first just for me since they hadn’t learn to read yet, and then for more and more of them as they learned. So these folks have had portions of Scripture in their hands for years now. The first book they got was of course Genesis, and then Exodus, but then soon it was material from the NT. Well, what a privilege now to give them the whole New Testament, and also many portions from the Old Testament. And as these precious books are distributed, how we praise God that His Word is not chained, or bound up, but rather alive and powerful, accomplishing that which God purposes. And how we thank God for the huge team that has been working together down through the years with us. We have had many dear coworkers, and of course the different consultants and software technicians and pilots and many others who have labored behind the scenes to bring this all to pass. How we praise God for each one!! And as we anticipate the disbursement of the Scriptures among these dear people, how we praise God that His Word is not chained or bound up or boxed in, but rather alive and powerful and very sharp, bringing deep conviction and repentance, accomplishing mighty things according to God’s purposes. No, it will not return unto Him void!!

Praise and Prayer

• for printing, shipping, the Presentation of the Scriptures, and the distribution….and that the Lord will protect the books from falling into the wrong hands
• for our trip down as we leave shortly, that God will be wonderfully glorified in all things
• for a wonderful time of hanging out with the P brethren and that we all learn great new things about our Dad and His wonderful truths
• for health and strength during this very busy time with the saints and renewing paper work
• praise God for doors that are still cracked open for ministry in our Host Country….and pray that they will continue to be that way, even with all the upheaval, turmoil and violence that abounds
• for continued prayer for many ladies to learn to read well and not be too embarrassed to read to one another and their kids
• for God Almighty to continue to grow the P church, and that He would do the above and beyond stuff….and really give us many grand surprises…for HE IS SO ABLE

Thanks again so very much for your partnering with us. We are indeed filled with praise and thankfulness to our Lord who has enabled us to finish the Translation Project…and we look forward to starting the next projects.
