\u00a0SEPTEMBER 13!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please put this date on your calendars \u2013 it\u2019s the date we will be returning to the Philippines!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings from Alabama!<\/strong> We have been off your radar screens for much of the summer. Thank you for your prayers in the interim since you last heard from us. These have been a rather uncertain months for us as we have tried to decide when was the best time for us to return to the Philippines. Bob was diagnosed with extreme varicose vein disease but after three \u201cprocedures\u201d (as Bob likes to call them), he is doing very well! He will see the doctor a couple more times before we leave just to check and make sure all is healing well \u2013 and then he\u2019ll be as good as new\u2026\u2026..well, almost. \u201cProcedures\u201d don\u2019t reverse years, I\u2019m afraid! But taking all things into consideration, we are both doing well!<\/p>\n

Emails from our Kalanguya co-workers in the Philippines<\/strong> indicate that all is proceeding well there also in terms of getting the Kalanguya Bible ready for \"\"printing and they are looking forward to our return! A translation check on Acts with the neighboring Ibaloi team was just completed \u2013 a 1st<\/sup> revision for the Ibaloi Team and a final read-through for the Kalanguya team! Bob is working on Colossians today at his office at the Grace School of Theology and informed me he wouldn\u2019t be home tonight until it\u2019s finished! He\u2019s got a few more epistles to read in these next few weeks before our departure.<\/p>\n

FUNDRAISING for the printing of KALANGUYA BIBLE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Praise the Lord for what has come in so far. To date, over $40,000 has come in from all 3 sources.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 While our projection is that we will need over $100,000 to do all that is needed in regard to the printing process, we rest in the Lord\u2019s will for us and His direction to use wisely the funds that He does send us through you, His people. IF YOU CAN IN ANY WAY GIVE TOWARD OUR PROJECT, it will be most appreciated. Please LET OTHERS KNOW who you think might be interested in giving to the printing of a Bible, possibly even as a tax deduction for a business. You can still give in these three ways:<\/p>\n
