Translation Progress Update May 31, 2016 + Plotting the Course Ahead

Well another month has flown by so quickly and God enabled us to exceed our goals and to get up to and including Revelation 5:5 completed. What an encouragement to see the Lord giving us such progress!!!

This month of June we are increasing our goals a little and by the end of June we are working towards having up to and including Rev 14:10 completed.

Where to from here (Left to do still):
-By early August this year we are hoping to have Revelation completed.
-We need to spend a few weeks reviewing the book of James which we will do towards the end of this year.
-We then need to complete Matthew and John – We will (Lord Willing) begin John later this year and then we are praying that we can complete these 2 gospels in 2017.
-Then our translation of the NT will be complete – Thanks Lord!
-Once the translation is complete we need to spend time making up book introductions, a glossary, maps, formatting etc. in preparation for printing. We hope that this will all be completed and that we will be able to print in 2018. The time will come quickly. Pray with us that this will be a reality in the first ½ of 2018.

-Deb, Jubab and I are going to leave Australia on Jan 1, 2017 (at least that is our plan) to take Jubab to Bible College in the USA, and while there to visit Deb’s Grandpa who is not doing too well these days – he is 95, and also to visit other relatives and friends and then we will return to serve full time in Mindanao. We are excited about the direction the Lord is giving us.
