Learning Culture and Language is Hard
Please pray for Jareb McClain, serving amongst the Elseng people of Asia-Pacific, as he gains proficiency in the language and prepares to start “sharing the Message of Christ via Literacy, Translation, Lesson Development, and Teaching — some of the nuts and bolts of making disciples in a primitive context.” Jareb finishes with, “Please do pray that the members of our whole team here will learn what we must, not give in to feelings of discouragement, and finish well.”

New Testament Bible Dedication
In just a couple of weeks, in the little village of Naplud, the SW Palawano New Testament will be dedicated. It is the fruit of 33 years labour by Bill and Donna Davis, many Palawanos, the Davis’ teammates and support missionaries, and all who have stood with them.
Elise Long writes, “The world may not notice or hear about the event, but we sure will, and the effect of the Word of God going out in the heart language of the Palawanos will no doubt also bear eternal fruit.”
