What a joy it has been for Debbie and I to be involved
in translation for this past 20+ years and even more so as we have been able to
be “totally immersed” this year. If the Lord allows, we are on track to complete
the “whole” New Testament by the end of 2017. Just over 2½ years from now. What
a tremendous joy it will be for each of us to see the Word of God in our Tala-Andig brother and sisters’ hands.
First of all thanks for praying for us this past
month. The work load has been mammoth but our dear Saviour has sustained and
encouraged us and we are doing just fine. Jubab is also doing just fine at
school. It encourages us greatly to see him doing so well.
Our goal at the beginning of February was to translate 1 Thessalonians 5:12 – 1 Timothy 3
(inclusive) during the month of Feb. The Lord enabled
us to exceed these goals and we finished up to the end of 1 Timothy 4.
For March we are praying to translate from 1
Timothy 5 – 2 Timothy 4 (inclusive) --- please pray with us. This may be a bit optimistic as we also have to plan
for our trip to the Philippines which we are doing in early April but …. let’s
pray that the Lord will give us the wherewithal to get these chapters done.
