Quick Update from Bill & Donna

Flipping pages…

Thank you for praying. So far, Donna has caught 30 errors in the Palawano New Testament proof copy:

  • 20 crooked pages
  • 4 blurred or smudged pages
  • 1 missing page, and
  • 4 sets of pages in reverse order (e.g. pg. 116 coming after pg. 117)

So we’re going to give it a few more really careful checks before sending it back to the printers.

We assume (but aren’t sure) that they have to correct the mistakes and send us another copy to approve before actual printing begins.

ICLL…
Bill continues to work on his workshop presentations, and to communicate with the other members of the steering committee as they finalize ICLL plans.

Bill will be sharing about the “Top Ten Mistakes Language Learners Make (And How To Avoid Them!)” and a session about the need for learners to focus on language, culture and relationships (not just language). He may also be involved in some panel discussions, plus all the networking and brainstorming over meals.

67 attendees from 30 different mission agencies and schools have signed up for the ICLL. Each of these is involved in helping many missionaries to communicate the gospel clearly in another language. We’re excited about the potential the ICLL has to speed up the work of reaching the unreached.

Praise the Lord with us…
 that we’re finding the errors in the Palawano New Testament!
– for provision for nearly all the cost of attending ICLL
– for opportunities to share about our ministry in local churches

Please pray with us…
– that we would find all the rest of the errors in the proof copy
– for Bill’s sessions at the ICLL to be clear and helpful
– that we would be a blessing to those around us

Reaching Palawanos (and the world!) together with you,

– Bill and Donna
