"Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and for his wonderful deeds for men, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things."
Psalm 107:8-9
Thanking Him for His wonderful deeds this weekend:
Thanking Him for His wonderful deeds this weekend:
-for the Fataleka language in the Solomon Islands who recently finished checking the book of Luke (and for our friends and colleagues who assisted them)
-for a beautiful free printout of Scripture memory cards
-for the chance to spend a Friday evening at a Wycliffe Dessert Night with amazing people seeking God's direction as to where they can best serve to further Bible translation around the world
-for rain over the weekend, the coolness that came along with the rain, and cancelled plans that meant we stayed home
-for homemade pumpkin spice lattes to share with my kids
-for the testimony of a dear colleague of ours in the Solomon Islands who impacted this woman's life
"She told me that she could read English but she didn't understand what she was reading as it was in a language that she doesn't speak and doesn't really understand! She told me that Owa is her language and she has spoken Owa all her life but no one had taught her how to read her own language! She said that she had to wait until she was at church for the Pastor to read from the English Bible and then "chew it up" and explain it in Owa language for her to understand and feed from God's Word! She told me with great joy that she is so thankful that I came and taught her and others how to read her own language as now any time and any day she is now able to read her Owa New Testament and feed from God's word herself!! This is why I love doing what I do here! Praying this dear lady continues to read and feed from the living Word of God and may God change her and make her more like Jesus!"
