Last Sunday Joel drove down with Ethan to a village about 10 hours away from where we live. \u00a0He was there for a huge celebration – it was a celebration of the completion of the New Testament in the Budik language. \u00a0It was a joy to celebrate with this church as they now have a printed copy of God’s word in their hands. \u00a0It was a joy to celebrate with our missionaries all the work that God had done over their many faithful years of service. \u00a0It was a joy to celebrate what God is going to continue to do in and through this church.<\/p>\n
