When we were training missionary candidates in Colombia, they were attending a little church plant that our team had started in the town of Fusa. Soon, they also wanted to have a part in sharing the gospel with those who have never heard. This young blue-collar family with three small children and no college education stepped out in faith, walking away from a secure job to serve God full time.<\/p>\n<p>To make a long story short, it has not been an easy road, but they have built great relationship with the Nukak, a hunter-gatherer people group, and <strong>they are now on the verge of being fluent enough<\/strong> in the language to share the life-giving message of the Gospel with them. They&#8217;re already developing materials to teach them how to read and write their own language.<\/p>\n<p>By supporting us and the Spanish Language Resources team, YOU are supplying the resource material in Spanish to make it possible for a godly man who worked on a chicken farm, and his wife, to become cross-cultural church planters. Please keep them in your prayers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/e4b1b358cd6ff178304e1306a\/images\/3555f559-7ff8-419f-9dc3-a3d14db93f80.jpg\" width=\"428\" height=\"362\" align=\"none\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/e4b1b358cd6ff178304e1306a\/images\/7ab1438f-8762-4d58-a58e-a9690ced7b04.jpg\" width=\"592\" height=\"341\" align=\"none\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Just a couple of prayer and praise notes from around the world:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lightspeed\u00a0 Aviation Foundation continues to award annual grants to top vote-getters at their website. NTM Aviation has come in second for the last two years, which has meant $8000 each time for the flight program that serves our missionaries in the bush. So\u00a0we&#8217;re asking once more (<em>and probably will do so again next year!<\/em>). The voting deadline is coming up in a couple of weeks (Oct 15).<\/li>\n<li>Your vote for NTM Aviation will provide up to $10,000 toward a helicopter to help us reach people in the Philippines! Please use this link to vote: <a href=\"http:\/\/ntm.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4f2a29f01adc525f091b8d830&amp;id=1a1772f271&amp;e=78eacbaa1f\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/go.ntm.org\/vote-grant-2015 <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Please pray for the <strong>Nagi <\/strong>and <strong>Kora<\/strong> people groups in Asia Pacific who will be hearing about the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord (the climax of the Gospel story) in the next weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Also pray for the church planters who have been teaching this same story of redemption,\u00a0starting from Genesis 1:1, to the <strong>Yao <\/strong>of Mozambique, Africa, and the <strong>Manobo <\/strong>of the Philippines, and are now presenting the life of Christ, the Savior promised to Adam and Eve in Gen. 3:15.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The translation of the New Testament into the language of the <strong>Budik <\/strong>people of Senegal will be presented to the Budik church and dedicated on the last Sunday of this month (Sept. 27th). It&#8217;s hard to convey to you how much work this represents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may be thinking, &#8220;That&#8217;s very interesting, but what is Steve doing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, <strong>thanks for asking! <\/strong>I&#8217;ve been working on materials for the Literacy Consultant Team that serves our missionaries around the world. These documents include a job description for Field Literacy Consultants, a guide for Socio-Linguistic Research and ideas for developing reading materials for the tribal people who have been taught to read and write their own language. We also translated a very interesting article by Gregory Koukl called &#8220;Never read a verse&#8221; emphasizing the importance of context to understanding Scripture. It makes some very cogent arguments and will be a great resource for teaching Bible translators.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much for your interest and your support in prayer and giving. We realize that it takes a more than superficial understanding of missions to appreciate the value of this ministry. It&#8217;s a long-term investment in the Spanish-speaking church, which consists of thousands of congregations, equipping them to plant churches in the unreached people groups of the world.<\/p>\n<p>In Christ&#8217;s love and for His Kingdom,<\/p>\n<p><em>Steve &amp; Eida Irwin<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ntm.org\" target=\"_blank\">New Tribes Mission<\/a><br \/>\nSpanish Language Resources<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/steve_irwin@ntm.org\" target=\"_blank\">steve_irwin@ntm.org<\/a><br \/>\nVoice &amp; Text: 408-515-1721<br \/>\nMail: 1732 Night Hawk Dr., El Paso TX 79912<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faithful messengers We have great respect and admiration for our good friends, Luis and Elizabeth Trujillo.
