Upon our arrival in Nigeria we met our group in a time of transition. Most notably, the team we were coming to lead includes seven Nigerians. In May all the Nigerians began an intensive time of Ministry Partner Development. I also have been involved as a mentor in the process. We were hopeful that by this month we would be seeing most of these Nigerians reaching 100% of their needed support and coming back to focus on our work as a Scripture Engagement team. However, it looks like there still is a long way to go for all of us.
This raises a number of prayer items that we would appreciate continued prayer:
This raises a number of prayer items that we would appreciate continued prayer:
- That we will have wisdom to know what to invest our energy into in this time of transition
- As we grow tired, that we will also grow in love and unity... not a natural progression!
- That God will continue to bring new Nigerian Ministry Partners to join us in this work
- Perhaps more than a thousand people around Nigeria (mostly in Jos) have heard about Bible Translation, many for the first time
- Some Nigerians have eagerly seized the opportunity to become Ministry Partners.
- John Azomo and I were able to share Izere and Hausa audio Scriptures on Sunday, and people eagerly took them
- The Mwaghavul language project has continued to plan and host Scripture Listening and Reading Group training events--almost completely independent of our help
