“We just now received word that they are extending our quarantine. We were completely expecting that… The challenge for us is just to keep our noses to the grindstone. Instead of focusing on what we can’t do, we need to stick with what we can do and just keep on doing it!”

Please pray that we will be able to continue making progress on the translation. We are currently focusing on 1 and 2 Corinthians.

Pray for the ministries that are reaching the unreached.

“We've talked about Kaje and how the gospel was heard for the first time there in December 2019. Many people believed. But now so many are asking questions and trying to figure out what this new life looks like.”

It’s been said that people don’t learn from experiences alone; they learn from reflecting on those experiences. Missionaries have a lot of new experiences and unexpected challenges that require time and space, along with a caring and listening ear, to adequately process and even grow from them.

“Our believing Nahuatl friends are learning that God alone is always enough.”

God graciously used us for 48 years working in church planting and Bible translation. In spite of civil unrest, sicknesses and now cancer, we give God the glory for allowing us to finish the translation project!

“A Nagi friend shared the other day how ‘last night it was dark, and there was a frog under my house…’.”

“We are preparing to hold four three-day Bible seminars with church leaders this coming year.”

“Once again it was really refreshing to sit with the believers and hear God’s Word taught in their language.”

A big milestone for Ryan and Abigail de Roos is that they have finally received their country assignment—the Philippines!

“Three months seems like plenty of time to pack up and prepare for our home assignment, but lots is happening in these months.”

"We feel like we need to start all over again! But many of the familiar words and sounds are quickly coming back to us.”

“God is Impressive. He has come through once again and we praise Him for it. We have officially reached 75% of our financial partnership goal!”

Please join us in praying that many Tepehuán people will learn to read the Bible in their own language and learn of the Saviour who died for them and rose again to bring them new life.
