Pray for NT Printing

Greetings from Wexford, Pennsylvania, where we are entering the last month of our six-month furlough. Martha, Bella, Asher, and I are scheduled to departed for Papua New Guinea on January 6, and Jacob will begin his Gap Year program with Push the Rock at the end of January. Please pray for us as we go through these times of transition.

Please also pray for the Korean Bible Society (KBS). KBS is slated to print the Enga New Testament and the Enga-English New Testament. However, they recently contacted the person in charge of Scripture Publication to ask for prayer. Specifically, they said,

Our partners are facing a sudden increase of demand for their services and this situation is causing an overall delay across the production process. Although we are taking measures to ensure a smooth flow of production, things are regretfully moving much slower than hoped for, so our hearts are heavy and disturbed under such circumstances. We understand that this must be a setback for you as well ... Please continue to pray for us that the production of Scriptures we undertake ... will run smoothly without any bottleneck.

This delay affects not just the Enga New Testament but other New Testaments in Papua New Guinean languages as well. So please pray that the printing process will be able to move ahead without significant delay.

Greetings from Wexford, Pennsylvania!

On a positive note, while we have been on furlough, the Enga translation team has continued their work on the Old Testament. The book of Genesis is now drafted and going through the required checking processes in order to be completed. However, the team has been unable to meet in town for the last three weeks due to civil unrest from the elections that took place a year and a half ago. Please pray for peace in Enga so that the translators can go about their work without any hindrance.

As for me (Adam), I am feeling a bit under the weather today, so I will keep this update brief. Thank you for your continued partnership with us as we await the printed Enga New Testament and continue our work on the Enga Old Testament. We are so thankful for your prayers and financial support.
