<\/a><\/p>\nBecause of that, I’ve made a small calendar of prayer request for the months we may be out of communication.\u00a0 I’ve include things that I know will happen during a month, that\u00a0usually happen, or that we think might happen.\u00a0 =)\u00a0\u00a0Thanks for partnering with us to reach the Nahuatl and supporting us in prayer.<\/p>\n
June<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n We have a small team coming out to\u00a0set up a\u00a0water system for a small, nearby village.\u00a0 Pray for safety in travels and for the water system to provide the needs of the village.<\/p>\n We will be asking the village leaders permission to teach literacy classes.\u00a0 Pray for wisdom as we talk things out and make plans.<\/p>\n As soon as the rains begin, the men start planting their corn.\u00a0 If the rain does not continue steadily, it can hurt the people’s crops and food supply for the year.<\/p>\n The beginning of the rains also signals the Nahuatl to do their customary rain dance.\u00a0 Pray that the Holy Spirit would begin to raise questions in their minds about the old ways and pave the way for the truth.<\/p>\n July<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n We anticipate starting literacy classes with adult Nahuatl speakers.\u00a0 Pray for wisdom for us as we teach and that the people will learn to read\u00a0fluently in order to be prepared for the word of God.<\/p>\n During this month Rachel will be working on the translation of the book of Genesis.\u00a0 It is a labor-intensive process and she wants to have 500 verses completed before September.\u00a0 Pray that her helpers will come faithfully and that God will give her wisdom and energy for the task.<\/p>\n Liesl will be hard at work filling in some of the gaps in our team’s understanding of Nahuatl culture.\u00a0 She will interview the people we live and work with about their views of God, sin, death, and much more and file it all for easy reference.\u00a0 This understanding is crucial to helping us clearly communicate the gospel.<\/p>\n August<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Pete will be preparing the chronological Bible lessons to be taught when we return from furlough.\u00a0 He will need a thorough understanding of the people’s worldview in order to be clear in his teaching.\u00a0 Pray for wisdom for him and for the exposure his helpers will have to the truth as they work with him on getting ideas down clearly in Nahuatl.<\/p>\n\n
