Thanksgiving...
Since it is the Thanksgiving season, I think I would be remiss to not let you know that I am thankful for you. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. Thank you for your financial
support. Thank you to those of you I get to serve the Lord with. It is an honor to work side by side with you for the sake of Bible Translation and seeing hearts all over the world changed because they have scripture they can read and/or
listen to in their own language. I am grateful for all of you!!
What’s Going on in Dallas, TX?
Besides traveling to Spain in August and Kansas City the last few months, I have been busy in Dallas. During the summer and fall we have dozens of High School and College students that volunteer on the Center to fulfill their Community Service and Service Learning requirements.
We also spend a lot of time preparing for the next “Volunteer Season.” Who is coming? When? What do they want to do? What projects are we going to be working on this year?
One of the projects we are working on is the Pioneer Bible Translation Building across the street. We hope to have some of our volunteers working on their new headquarters, so they can get out of the triple-wide trailer that has been serving as their offices for the last few years. They have been growing in leaps and bounds and have out-grown it. Just a side note: They had a youth group help build some of their walls. As you can see in the picture on the bottom right, they left some “notes.” The entire building is covered with verses and notes of encouragement. They have “left their mark” on Bible Translation. :-) See pics below!
1. Please pray for the volunteers traveling to Dallas, giving their time and resources to support Bible Translation with their gifts and talents.
2. For the team that leads the WA volunteers year-around, but especially during “volunteer season.” There are many projects and many people to match them with. Their names are: Randy (the boss), George, Denny, Janice, Dana, and me.
3. Financial supporters. I cannot do this alone. I rely totally upon
financial partners.
Praises:
1. The volunteers are coming in and enjoying their work. God is placing each one where they belong.
2. The Spain trip went well. It was a learning experience for all of us.
3. The team got along great the entire trip.
4. Experiencing Bible Translation up-close and personal; seeing first hand what the Lord is doing through Bible Translation; and being a part of it everyday.
