Translation Update for April!

This is our team today (picture taken a few minutes ago), hard at work back in our office in Lapoc while we work on the ‘other side of the screen’ over here in our Ballina office!

Today we are laboring over the book of Jude, up to verse 12 right at this very moment as we write this while we wait for the team over in Lapoc to talk about their corrections on the draft.

PRAISE the Lord with us for enabling us and strengthening us to reach the April goals for the translation!!!!!  During the month of April, our goals were to finish 2 Peter 3, and translate the books of 1 John and 2 John up to verse 11. These goals were reached and even more!!!!

PLEASE PRAY WITH US FOR THIS MONTH OF MAY!  Our goals for this month are:

·       To finish 2 John (already finished as we’re ahead!)
·       To finish 3 John (already finished as we’re ahead!)
·       To finish Jude (already finished as we’re ahead!)
·       To start the book of Revelation and finish up to Rev 4:11.

Many prayers must have been pouring up to our Lord’s throne for us during the month of April, because in spite of many other things that the Lord brought our way - including a huge amount of work in helping with the food crisis – we were able to stick on schedule and even get ahead.

Thank you soooooo much for partnering with us in this way and keeping the Tala-Andig New Testament translation team in your prayers.

Next week – May 9th – please pray for national elections in the Philippines, and especially for our brothers and sisters, that they will be kept safe during this sometimes volatile time.
