May 2026 Update

by

Dear PRAYing Family and Friends,

Greetings once again from our home in Sheridan, Wyoming! It’s been good to hear from so many that are praying for us and supporting us in our ministry. The Lord has provided so abundantly more than we can ask or think. Designated funds have come in for both travel and for bringing Semandang audio Bibles to the churches in Semandang. Thank you so much for praying and being a part.

I reached the ½ point of translating “back-into-English” for my consultant check of over 1300 verses of Old Testament Semandang scripture earlier this month and will continue to focus on that for the next month. Oke has been back into drafting the book of Ezra and recently finished chapter 5, so she is also ½ way through that book.

April is the month I normally focus on connecting with our teams in West Kalimantan for their annual literacy updates and needs. It was great to hear from most of the teams there this past month. There are some on-going literacy classes that are great to help low literacy level groups increase their fluency in reading and comprehension. This is a major step toward bringing people greater access to God’s Word in their heart language. I will be working more on Semandang literacy projects in the months ahead. Please pray that our church planting teams will know how to motivate people to be excited about reading.

The Embaloh church has just put in a request for getting the Luke gospel film in their language. This requires a week-long commitment on their behalf to re-record the Luke audio. Please pray that this project will be able to be completed soon and for God’s help as all the details get set up.

This is Gaing’s mother reading. She is an Embaloh believer and pillar in the church.

Join us this month in prayer and praise:

  1. PRAISE for reaching the ½ point in the back translation preparation for upcoming consultant check
  2. PRAISE for Oke making good progress on drafting Ezra.
  3. PRAISE for provision for my trip in September.
  4. PRAY for reading and comprehension fluency for the tribal churches.
  5. PRAY for the Embaloh church project of re-recording the gospel of Luke.
  6. PRAY for all the preparations for my up-coming trip to A-P in September.

Please continue to lift these prayer requests and praises to the Lord of the harvest. Thank you so much for being a prayer partner to see churches established and built up in their faith. It is a tremendous blessing to have a small part in seeing this happen.

Serving Him together,

Darcy and Ron and Nita Berglund
