January video update
I finished full-time language study of the Kovol language 5 months ago. So what’s been happening since then? We put together a quick video to recap things.
Helping hands
Setbacks aside Bible translation progress is steady and we have a visitor 😀
Carol, a friend of ours from training in the UK is once again visiting us. She was last here with her husband 2 years ago. Her son has come to Papua New Guinea to start his work in tech services and Carol tagged along on the plane ride to help with her grandkids and then come on to us. She’s going to be with us for 6 weeks.
The first back translation
Translating God’s word is a big responsibility. As such accountability to others is very important. Our Bible translation procedure builds in accountability to make sure I’m not the only person who gets to decide that what I have translated is an accurate translation.
Taking some time off
We’ve been blessed to be able to take some good time off to spend as a team and a family this last week. As always it’s never a complete break as things inevitably come up.
