Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread. I suppose I should've subscribed to it.

Thanks for the support George. Bible translation work is more rewarding when we know that the folks at home are holding the translators and staff up in their prayers, and helping them to meet needs.

They also do large campaigns. They go to Europe, scout out a place, a time, helpers, ship the Bibles and then do MASSIVE distribution and hold HUGE meetings for about 3-4 weeks. I've been involved in at several myself.
My Dad actually just got back from Poland and Tajikistan. Tajikistan being the location of their next campaign. |
We'll keep them in our prayers. Keep us informed as to how they are getting along. It is great to know other folks who are laboring toward the same ends.
God Bless all
