WE CAUGHT OUR BREATH…
The consultant check of Mark went well. We’re thankful for that. Since then we’ve been busy. We took a deep breath, and then starting preparing for…
THE MOTHER OF ALL CONSULTANT CHECKS…
Next week we will start a two-week marathon consultant check of 8 books:
- 1 Corinthians
- Philemon
- Hebrews
- 2 Peter
- 2 John
- 3 John
- Jude
- Revelation
Some of those books are small. Some are fairly long. Some are simple (Philemon), while others have very complex truths to communicate (e.g. Hebrews).
Many people think that Revelation would be the most difficult book. Surprisingly, it’s not! Since most of the book is narrative and symbolic, it’s much easier to translate than a complicated doctrinal book such as 2 Corinthians which contains sarcasm, etc. Or, don’t forget Hebrews, which was a challenge because the original recipients had such a deep understanding of the Mosaic Covenant, which the Palawanos lack.
Many of these books have been “in the pipe” for a few years. This is the final, permission-to-print check. So it’s a major milestone, and very important. We’re praying that everything goes well and the books check out as being comprehended very well. At the same time, we’re praying that anything that needs to be changed to make them more clearly understood will be discovered so we can change it!
5… 4… 3… 2…
We’re also excited because this is our next to last check! One more check like this in July, and that’s it. Rejoice with us about this!
As we’re said before, these checks are important, and can be mentally tiring for all involved. And there are logistical needs.
See our specific requests below.
PLEASE PRAY WITH US
- Clear thinking and STAMINA for the check (for us, and for the Palawanos helping)
- NO ELECTRIC POWER OUTAGES during the two weeks of checking
- That all the books would check out well
- That any needed revisions will be discovered
And continue to pray for God’s protection from…
- Break-ins, theft or failure of our computers, etc.
- Distracting family or financial problems for our TAs
God’s Word is getting closer to being in Palawano hands. Thanks again for your part in this ministry!
Reaching Palawanos together with you,
-Bill and Donna
