We rejoice also in the family he has given us \u2013 we are proud of our kids, grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

We are looking forward to seeing the glaciers, fjords, mountains and wildlife that are unique to that corner of the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last few months, Bob has completed three more typesetting projects of Bibles from Papua New Guinea, and those are now being printed. Also, last September &nbsp;he &nbsp;finished &nbsp;typesetting &nbsp;another &nbsp;recently translated Bible for a people group in west Africa. That Bible has now been printed and is in the hands of the native speakers. Our nephew, Alan McDole, had the privilege of attending that dedication as a videographer to record the occasion for our mission. We praise the Lord that his Word continues to spread to unreached people groups around the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1.png 480w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-125x83.png 125w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-250x166.png 250w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-450x300.png 450w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-381x253.png 381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bible Dedication in Africa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We appreciate your support of our ministry through prayers and finances more than we can express!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Because of Calvary,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bob &amp; Debbie Clark<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"195\" height=\"172\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-2.png 195w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/bob-clark\/files\/2026\/08\/image-2-125x110.png 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Start of our Journey&#8230; It seems impossible, but May 31st marked 40 years since Debbie and I began our lives together as newlyweds!
