We sent Aaron and Belza off to Hae Village this afternoon. He and the Lavukal Translation Team will be continuing to fine tune the first part of Matthew in anticipation of the consultant check next month.
“The reality of gospel life in ordinary days is not romantic. Instead the Christian life is day-in and day-out faithfulness that goes largely unseen and is sometimes unrewarded or unfruitful. It’s easy to become blind to beauty and to forget where we are in God’s story.”
-Christine Hoover, Searching for Spring: How God Makes All Things Beautiful in Time
This team forges ahead with faithfulness and sacrifices that often go unseen. Not just the translators, but also the members of the committee. My friend Kiko, the committee’s treasurer, told me last weekend that she often doesn’t feel up to the job, which gave me the chance to confide in her that I feel exactly the same way! In addition, people all over the world are giving toward and praying for this translation project. Some make encouragement their goal and continually strengthen us with affirming words and care packages. We’re all on this team together, a microcosm of the Body of Christ.
