Jesus said, “I am the true vine…Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine.” John 15:1, 4
Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
Andy’s Goals that were reached through the help of your prayers: I prepared the modular lessons for a 10 step language discovery course, and will have an opportunity to try it out in Asia during the month of June. The Wycliffe Associate banquets have gone well. Kate & I traveled in Michigan and I completed the banquets in Indiana.
Still pending: Getting the Lelemi Old Testament Back-Translation underway with a colleague in Ghana. Setting this up from afar has been difficult. If we can do it, it will provide an example of good translation in a related language for four Old Testament language teams in Ghana’s Volta Region. These teams are completing their drafts of Genesis. The three New Testament teams have also started drafting Jesus’ parables in the Gospel of Luke on new computer equipment!
Kate says: It was great to be able to travel with Andy for the first week of his speaking tour. The next weekend I was the retreat speaker for a women’s group (May 2-4). Thanks for praying. The response was very encouraging.
Mary was invited to join a Christian ballet company in Colorado Springs after a successful audition. However, she has decided to attend GIAL in Dallas to begin training for cross cultural ministry. Thank you for praying for God’s guidance.
Let’s continue praying that all of us together will bear much fruit.
Love in Jesus,
Andy and Kate
