Helping to Train Helpers…
During this interim while Donna is in the USA and we are waiting for our shipment to arrive here on Palawan, Bill has been busy with consultant ministry. Just like old times… kinda.
He has already had the chance to work with 7 different missionaries, evaluating their progress in learning language and culture. At the same time–and more importantly–he has been training two others to do this type of consultant ministry. This is important, since we have told the field that we want to focus on translation this term. Bill had already said that he did not want to take back all his previous consultant responsibilities, but that he was willing to give some time initially to training others to take over.
One other consultant trip had to be cancelled when Bill got sick and the pilot was stranded in another town because of massive flooding from heavy rains.
