<\/a>My office hours are filled with preparing training materials for the NTM equipping program in Africa. Actually, my first project involves transcribing a recorded set of lectures in French, to be put into lesson format for the African candidates who want to know what is involved in cross-cultural church-planting. Then I am translating these lectures into English (for use in Zimbabwe and South Africa), for re-translation into Swahili (for Tanzania) and translation into Portuguese (for use in Mozambique).<\/p>\n
Our personal cross-cultural ministry has included preaching at a home for mentally-challenged residents, and preaching in Creole to a Haitian Baptist Church here in Albertville, Alabama. (Who would have thought that our 3 years in Haiti would bear fruit here in the middle of the southern States?) We also enjoy our outreach within the Celebrate Recovery program of our home church here in Rainsville.<\/p>\n
May this season of celebrating Christ\u2019s birth motivate each of us.<\/p>\n
Praise God with us for:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Opportunities to share the Good News to those around us;<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Joy in caring for my mom in our home \u2013 she is adjusting well to Alabama;<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His enabling in the tediousness of translation challenges.<\/p>\n
Continue praying with us, for:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Inspiration and persistence in working from home;<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The African candidates who are being equipped for cross-cultural church-planting;<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More laborers to reach language groups that still haven\u2019t heard the Christmas story.<\/p>\n
Gladly serving Christ, the King of Kings,<\/p>\n
