Pray for the Tigak People in Papua New Guinea

Pray for a good time of fellowship and collaboration. Pray that the church leaders will leave the meeting refreshed and that they will have concrete strategies for how to shepherd the churches. Pray that in addition to their spiritual needs, God will provide for the churches’ physical needs too — especially for rain during this drought.

Papua New Guinea: After 15 Years of Waiting, ...

Pray for the team — including the LeBlancs, Jonathan and Devon Ames, and Jacob and Katie DeValve — as they prepare to teach, that God would give them peace, clarity and wisdom. The team is previewing the Bible lessons with three Kuyu friends: Augustine, Thadeus and Vincent. Pray that they will understand the gospel and become some of the first Kuyu believers.

Papua New Guinea: Ten Years of Discipleship ...

Bill Michaud attended a week of fellowship between the Pawaian and Gimi churches — two people groups who have been growing closer together as the Gimi church leaders have discipled the Pawaian believers for 10 years. During this celebration, “the responsibility for leading the 12 Pawaian churches was transferred from the Gimi men to the Pawaian men. … Keep the groups in your prayers for the Pawaians to be faithful and for the Gimis as they have already identified another group that needs to be discipled.”

Making Foreign Biblical Concepts Clear

Kirk and his translation helper translated the book of Romans quite a while back, but the translated draft needs to be put through several checks before we can be confident that it truly meets our high standard for accuracy, clarity, and naturalness.

Thank God, we have had the opportunity to learn to read and write. The proof of that is that you are currently reading our newsletter. Sadly, there are a lot of people who still do not have the ability to read and write.

What Do You Mean — Heart Language?

These past months we have been focusing our attention on heart language ministries around the world. But what do we really mean? Don’t we use our brains to reach others? Don’t we use our logical side when we discuss the work of Christ for mankind?

Celebrating the First Scriptures in Their Language!

Not every people group has the privilege of having a Bible in their language. So, when a Bible translation is completed in a new language, it is understandably a time for celebration.

I Can't Believe He Read the Whole Thing

In the first three months of having the Bible in his own language, Molesse read Genesis, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, Daniel, Jonah, Malachi and the whole New Testament. And since at this point the Bible in Lolo consists of the New Testament and selected portions of the Old Testament, that was the whole thing. In three months.

Growing Pains in the Church

Anyone have kids that wake you up at night with aching knees and legs? Growing pains, we call it.

We also have kids that are waking us up at night. No, not our teens. The “middle-of-the-night-wake-up-and-pray” call is coming from our spiritual kids, the Pal church.

The Gifts of Involvement, Growth and Community

Why does God refer to missionaries as “gifts” to the church (Ephesians 4:11-12)?

When I visited Community Baptist Church in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, this summer, I found some great answers.

How God Used a Landslide to Make His Name Known

There are still several more lessons on the life, words and ministry of Jesus that the guys will teach before they reach the point of discussing Jesus' death and resurrection.
