TRANSLATION UPDATE…
Thanks to the Lord, we were able to finish the comprehension check of the book of Luke with even a little time to spare! God graciously got Bill over his respiratory infection, and our two translation helpers, Nursalyn and Arlyn really put in the effort with hours of mentally taxing work so we could finish after losing two days due to sickness. We even had electricity all week long… praise God.
The book checked out well, too. No major understanding problems found.
Now we can relax a bit and think about Christmas, and joyfully ponder the Christ of Luke who in the space of those 24 chapters went from eternity past, to the manger, to the streets of the poor and needy, to the cross, to the tomb, to the right hand of the Father and the hearts of those who love him.
Looking ahead, please keep us and the Palawanos in your prayers as we partner together Reaching Palawanos in 2010.
