God’s Word Being Used

HOW TRANSLATORS GET ENCOURAGED

As you know, the reason we are here is to give the Palawanos God’s Word. Of course, we have to translate it first. Not just a minor detail! But the biggest blessing for us is when we see the translated portions being used and affecting lives.
Just today in church, Arturo got up and shared. He has been Bill’s best friend since 1982 and one of his main translation helpers over the years. He read from his brand-new copy of the book of Acts and taught on how we must “go through many trials” in this life before we reach God’s Kingdom. It gets worse before it gets better. But oh, when the Lord returns, how much better it’s going to be! His message was both a challenge and an encouragement to the body to trust the Lord and to live for him. To seek to win others.
We’ve seen this over and over. Each time a new portion of Scripture is distributed in the Palawano language, there is a surge of growth as God’s Word does its work!
Thanks to all who prayed to see the book of Acts (all 1,007 verses of it… whew!) translated, printed and distributed.
Now please keep praying with us that God will continue to give us wisdom and endurance as we are translating Ephesians, 1 Peter and Luke. We can’t wait to see how God will use those books in here!
Thanks again for partnering with us in Reaching the Palawanos!
