Almost There!

Praise the Lord! I now only need $63 more per month by the end of this month (three weeks away!) in order to help the people in Papua New Guinea have God's Word in September. A big thank-you to everyone who has already joined with my Wycliffe ministry in serving in PNG! We are making ripples into eternity, my friends, all for God's glory.

And now an uplifting tale from the PNG blog: 

Yes!!

What give you reason to celebrate? A new shirt, maybe a new car, what about a new translation of the Bible that you can read? Some people think that once a Bible is translated, the work is done. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Languages change; not many of us still say 'groovy'. Many people don't even know what that means nowadays! So it is with the language used in translations and therefore why revisions are necessary. These guys are celebrating the revision of the Ono language. One of the greatest beneficiaries of a revision of a language are the younger generations. Old words become new and understanding occurs as the Scriptures become relevant. Pray for the many revisions occurring throughout Papua New Guinea that are making the Scriptures come alive to the younger generation.
