As we did recently in Colombia, we\u2019ll begin by equipping a group of people arriving from several countries in Africa so that they will be able to help their fields with literacy. Then teams from 3 language groups in Mozambique join us with speakers from their villages and we\u2019ll put it all into practice as we write literacy materials in these languages.<\/p>\n<p>What an opportunity to see God\u2019s Word impact people in Mozambique! One of the languages, the Yao has more than 2 million speakers and spans three countries, Mozambique, Malawi, and Tanzania. The Gospel has had very little entrance into this group and literacy levels in Yao are extremely low, like 1%! A Bible translation is being done right now. So it\u2019s the perfect time for God to prepare the way for His Word.<\/p>\n<p>The other 2 languages are also fairly large groups of people where God\u2019s Word has had very limited access. So as we run, will you stand with us in prayer? Please pray for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wisdom as we dissect these languages and write excellent materials that people will be able to learn to read<\/li>\n<li>Strength and stamina for us and the team that will be working on this project. We have a lot of laughs and great times, but a lot of very long days with our brains getting pretty worn out!<\/li>\n<li>Good health and protection from malaria and dengue fever<\/li>\n<li>Good rest at night (different beds, different time zone)<\/li>\n<li>That God will be honored in every way through this time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are about ready to head to Mozambique.
