Back to work after a wonderful vacation!

April 11, 2009 by Lance and Laura Ostman

Jason and Lance watching the printer as the 1st copy of the Tala-Andig New Testament is printed!

The Lord brought us safely back “home” to our village on Thursday.

We had a good time with our friends who were visiting from Hawaii, plus we got to surprise our coworkers, the Harts, when they got back into the country at the end of March!

We visited three islands that we’d never been to before and enjoyed the beauty of God’s creation anew. Thank you for praying for us over the past couple of weeks while we traveled.

Lance was able to finish up his part of the last check through the Higaunon New Testament.  Our coworker Ron wasn’t able to finish up his part yet, due to a previous commitment to help a fellow missionary who is here for a few days to get his own New Testament ready for print.

We are going to do the printing of Jason & Shirley Birkin’s Tala-Andig New Testament here with our big printer, God willing!  They want 100 copies initially. Upon printing the first copy this morning of the Tala-Andig New Testament Jason said, “It will be such a blessing to have the New Testament in one book for the Tala-Andig Church to study from!”

We would appreciate prayer for this project to go smoothly, as well as the finishing up of the Higaunon Scriptures so it can get sent to the printer soon. We appreciate your part in our lives and the ministry to the Higaunon people.

Have a blessed Resurrection Day!

Secure in Christ alone,

Laura & Lance
