Just in from Africa: "Thank you for praying yesterday for increased progress. We had our first day where we recorded 7 percent of the New Testament instead of four and a half. However, we did it partly by recording from 8AM to nearly 10PM. It seems that the readers are gradually improving too. Pray for continued progress that God would bless the reading and dramatization of his word. As we read through every word of the New Testament, we ourselves can’t help but discuss it and be impacted by it. I’ll explain something he says and one of the men will say, “I always wondered what that means.” We say things like, “Paul really said something important there.” One man said, “Jesus is talking about xxxxxxx people there for sure!” Sometimes one of us will say, “People here really need to hear this part right here.” The beautiful thing about it is that they will --now that we are recording it. Thank you for lifting us up in prayer.
