This is a report of THANKSGIVING for answered Prayers!
As we mentioned in our previous report, we were discouraged about the slow progress of the Believer’s Bible Commentary translation, due to our main editor moving to the US and being busy at his new job and his local assembly. A few days ago, we prayed specifically for the LORD to show us what to do in this regard. Just 2 hours later, we received a message from our editor, stating that he had asked his company to allow him to work from home, so as to save him 2 hours commute every day. His company is in favor of this and it
would free him up to start translating again!
Wow! Praise the LORD!
In addition to that, the LORD brought us in contact with a group of “Computational Linguists“, and they are developing computer software to assist with the translation of the Bible into many Asian languages! This group, “The Bible Translator’s Assistant Inc.“, say that their software could help us with our Commentary translation! They are right now in Manila working with the folks at SIL (Wycliffe) on several of the more minor dialects spoken in the Philippines, and we are planning to meet up with them in a few weeks, and we are so excited about this!
Praise the LORD!
Also, the LORD brought us a new lady to our weekly Bible study we have been praying specifically for the last few weeks! This lady claims that she is a “kleptomaniac”, as she is unable to control herself in stealing from others. She has been arrested a few times and has been banned from many of the local stores. She has 3 little children and a husband who is a drug dealer and on the run from the law. She completed the ECS/ BSA course “What The Bible Teaches” and returned the exam, so she could get a “free” Bible! We are so excited about this! She needs JESUS!
Indeed, Praise the LORD!
Please continue to pray! It makes all the difference!
Psalm 95
1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
3 For Lord is the great God…
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand…
Thanks for praying with us and for us!
In Him!

” Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgives all yours iniquities; who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies…” – Psalm 103:1-4
