It\u2019s always a thrill to be able to reconnect with our Kuna friends, study God\u2019s Word together, sing and hear reports of how God is working in the churches. But the thing that touched our hearts the most was something that they carried back to their villages.<\/p>\n<p>Our Kuna friends received the first copies of the newly translated books of Psalms, Proverbs and Exodus. Let that soak into your mind for a moment\u2026Makes us want to shout each time we think about it!!!<\/p>\n<p>Most of us grew up hearing \u201cthe Lord is my Shepherd\u2026\u201d We have had free access to God\u2019s whole Word through multiple translations in our language (often sitting in dust on our bookshelves), digital copies if we prefer, and even apps that go wherever we are. Praise God that by 2013 the Kunas will have the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">whole<\/span> Bible in their language! Pray for the final steps necessary to get things finished up and off to the printers.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A part of preparing for the Kuna Bible is literacy training. The printed Kuna Bible will be wonderful, but how will it change lives if people cannot read with understanding? Next year we will be working hard to get this important step completed. We invite you to participate by giving to the project. Together our small gifts add up. God has provided 64% of the funds!
