\"Mike<\/a>
Mike Wild with some of his Wano friends<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be great to be known for your good works like Barnabas was? Acts 4:36 tells us his name was Joses, but he was known as the Son of Encouragement.<\/p>\n

You know how you get a name like that, right?<\/p>\n

You earn it.<\/p>\n

So I was impressed by the name the Wano people have given Mike Wild: \u201cHe who has compassion for the Wano people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike and his wife, Libby, and Tim and Rebecca Ingles are endeavoring to plant a church among the Wanos. They all have compassion for the Wanos, and I\u2019m sure each of them has moments in which they don\u2019t feel particularly compassionate as well.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s something the Wano people see in Mike that led them to name him, \u201cHe who has compassion for the Wano people.\u201d I think I\u2019d take that over some lame name like \u201cDances with wolves\u201d any day, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s really great is that pretty soon, Mike and his teammates are going to introduce the Wano people to the One who truly has compassion for them.<\/p>\n

The team has taught some of the Wanos to read and write in their own language. They\u2019ve learned a lot about the culture and the language. They\u2019ve translated Scripture portions, and prepared Bible lessons in the Wano language, which are now being checked by one of our co-workers here in Florida.<\/p>\n

And later this month, the missionary team to the Wanos plans to begin telling the story of Jesus where it begins: Creation.<\/p>\n

Will you please pray?<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Pray that the team is able to carefully translate the Scriptures needed to teach about key passages of the Bible that lay the foundation for understanding Christ\u2019s ministry, and then the passages about His work.<\/li>\n
  • Pray that they are able to diligently prepare Bible lessons that clearly present the message God has for the Wano people.<\/li>\n
  • Pray that the Wanos will desire to come and learn, and ultimately meet the Savior and place their faith in Him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Thank you for the role you play in planting churches among the world\u2019s unreached people groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
