She had walked by her son\u2019s house every Sunday but somehow she found out that the lesson would be about <strong>Mary<\/strong>. To her surprise she didn\u2019t hear much about <strong>Mary<\/strong> who her church said was born without sin, but about her<strong> Son<\/strong> who knew no sin and could therefore be the <strong>Savior<\/strong> and <strong>Deliverer<\/strong>. She never walked by again. She never quit listening to the story of the P<strong>romised One<\/strong>. Praise God for <strong>Mary<\/strong> and praise the <strong>Lord<\/strong> for those who share this blessed message with those who have not as yet believed. Trusting in <strong>Jesus<\/strong> is so easy. He is the <strong>Holy One<\/strong> who died for each of us and rose again.<\/p>\n<p>This past year, our continuing work on the Cross-cultural Edition of the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Building on Firm Foundations- Creation to Christ<\/span> materials, has been quite full. Most recently we have recounted how the Lord has allowed us to finish translating close to 1140 pages in the first 4 volumes. (It takes about 900 pages to do a New Testament.) These lessons have been a big help to New Tribes Mission and about 200 other missions. Two hundred and fifty tribal languages have received these lessons and have hence been able to establish local churches. I pray regularly that the author, Trevor McIlwain, would be able to finish the series in good health. It would represent 12 volumes. Volume 10 should be done in 6 months. Our Portuguese translation team has already done some of the content of volumes 7 to 12.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/calvin-taylor\/files\/2014\/01\/9403-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-345\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/calvin-taylor\/files\/2014\/01\/9403-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Creation to Christ\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/calvin-taylor\/files\/2014\/01\/9403-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/calvin-taylor\/files\/2014\/01\/9403-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/calvin-taylor\/files\/2014\/01\/9403-1-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We thank you so much for partnering with us in this huge task.
