The Lord is at work in Paraguay.\u00a0 Dennis\u2019 2 weeks there were very profitable.\u00a0 It was good to see old friends and to hear how the Lord is meeting their needs and working through them.\u00a0 The missionaries were greatly encouraged by the help and tools they received from the advanced language workshop.\u00a0 This will enable them to move forward more quickly in their language learning and to improve their translation skills.<\/p>\n

Our students\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
The students from our last class are scattered around the world now.\u00a0 We enjoyed learning with them and are excited to see how the Lord will use them in the future.<\/p>\n
It is highly motivating for us to hear from any of our former students. Some are making good progress in learning the tribal language and hope to teach the Gospel soon and others are getting ready to move into a tribal work.<\/p>\n
An excerpt from a recent update by some former students:<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cHere in Papua New Guinea, New Tribes has implemented a new tool called People Group Assessment (PGA). \u00a0Tribal groups that are surveyed are evaluated in several different areas. Teams of missionaries looking for a tribal work can then study all the available evaluations to aid them in choosing a location. Our team began by looking at seven different tribes. We slowly narrowed those down and finally landed on our top choice, which was the highest on the need scale according to the PGA criteria. \u00a0It was very hard to study the information on each tribal group and know that we could pick only one! They are all so needy. Through this process, though, we have been reminded that in order to say \u201cyes\u201d to something, you have to say \u201cno\u201d to many other equally good things.We pray often for more laborers to join us here in PNG to help reach the many tribes that are still unreached.<\/p>\n
Will you pray with us?\u201d<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n
We enjoyed our stay in Germany and were able to spend time with our family and friends there.\u00a0 Unfortunately, we couldn\u2019t visit anybody for about two weeks due to a severe stomach bug going around in our family. It was an opportunity, however, to spend more time with Monika\u2019s parents which was a blessing.<\/p>\n
