Another
Beautiful Verse - Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not My word
like fire?”
declares the Lord, “and like a hammer
which shatters a rock? ----- God’s Word
is so powerful and can shatter the hardest heart and draw a person to Himself.
Let’s pray for our loved ones and friends.
I had all
the intentions to put out an update at the end of March about how our
translation went. But then before we knew it we were in the Philippines and had
a God given amazingly wonderful time -- Deb will write a few updates over the coming weeks and we also have
some video clips that Jubab made which we will put up on the web before too
long. We will send out the links.
While in
the Philippines, the highlight for me was to be able to teach the book of 1
Timothy to the elders and pastors who God has raised up through the work over
the past 27 years. We taught them for 4 days and it was a tremendous time. All
up there were 70+ elders, pastors and evangelists present.
Now - -
- God enabled us to reach our translation goal in March and we completed
the book of 2 Timothy. We really praise God for the progress that He is giving
us in the translation and we really praise Him for the prayer that you have
offered up for us. He is sufficient.
The next
goal - - - on Monday (April 27) we are beginning to translate the books
of Titus, Philemon and 1 Corinthians. This project will take us (Lord Willing)
15 weeks. All up it is 20 chapters consisting of 480 verses. Please continue to
pray for us as we translate. For health, encouragement, strength and a close walk
with our beautiful Jesus.
Smaller
goal – by the end of May we are hoping to have completed Titus, Philemon and up
to and including 1 Corinthians 4.
