\"Checking<\/a><\/p>\n

While traveling in the US this past year, Lance put in 100 hours of translation work on Exodus. That’s not a whole lot but in between the 22,000 miles we traveled,<\/span> he was glad to find the time to get that much done.<\/p>\n

Now though, the priority is getting lesson materials for 1 Corinthians completed.<\/span> He had two sessions with the language assistants this past week. That went very well!<\/p>\n

Please pray with us for our language helpers<\/span> that God would give them the discernment they need to do their job.<\/p>\n

Now, about those visits!<\/span>  Here are just a few.<\/p>\n

Pogong<\/span> \"Pogong<\/a> is one of the Bible teachers in a village quite some distance from here. Since he was diagnosed with TB, he has been living here, faithfully taking his medications while others minister in his place. We had a nice visit with him the other day.<\/p>\n

 He said, "I so badly want to return to my ministry, but I know I need rest and continue my medication for a while yet." Please pray for Pogong and his family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tadha<\/span> \"Tadha<\/a> is one of the deacons; he also stopped by for a visit the other day. We had heard he’d been bitten by a poisonous snake a few days earlier, so we asked him how he was doing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He showed us the affected area and we were praising the Lord that he is ok<\/span> and doesn’t have any ill effects from it.<\/p>\n

Finally, we were recently able to visit with Robert & Ean<\/span> over the internet!  It was so good to hear their voices and we got to sing Ean a song! We praise the Lord for the technology that allows us to communicate! Thank you for praying for our children and grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you again for your partnership with us in this ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secure in Christ’s wonderful love,<\/p>\n

Lance & Laura<\/p>\n
