Hope you guys are all doing great today!
We are on our way back to the bush after an interesting end very beneficial translation workshop. At this moment we are also having consultants checking the books of Jonah and Acts. And we are thus thankful that soon these books will be in the hands of the Mengen people.
Please keep on praying for us as we continue with the work. This will be an interesting time for us as we are planning on only coming for a rest during our conference in June or maybe even later in July. So this will be a long and busy stretch of time. I am planning on visiting some villages in our language group with the purpose of surveying them for future outreaches. I hope to go the South coast in February for visits. There will also be an election taking place in the country of PNG which usually results in lots of trouble, also amongst the tribal people. Especially also pray for us for wisdom as a person will be visiting our village in order to do his research. This has in the past caused problems in other villages and may also do so in our village amongst unbelievers. I will continue with the regular teaching through Romans and the evangelical lessons to the unbelievers. Also pray for me as I start taking more responsibility in seeing our translation done.
Thank the Lord with us for my co worker who is now done with language and pray for us as we see him transition into the work and start taking responsibilities in teaching and discipleship.
Thanks again for the huge difference that you guys are making in seeing the Mengen people reached! And please remember that we cannot do this without you!
Blessings
Lourens for the Mengen church
