Missionaries Jason and Nisae Williamson and two Tobo believers recently had the opportunity to attend a Bible translation workshop in Papua New Guinea.
"It has been a great opportunity for us to learn more about the translation process and meet other families like ourselves in other tribes," Nisae wrote.
It was also a productive time for Ambox and Welson, two Tobo believers the Williamsons brought with them to the workshop.
As teammates, Ambox and Welson not only learned how to assist in translation, but also gained a clear understanding of New Tribes Mission's vision for the tribal churches in Papua New Guinea.
The two Tobos had a chance to meet believers from other Papua New Guinea tribes and this has strengthened and encouraged them in their faith.
"It has been a great experience for all of us and great for building relationships with these two men," Nisae wrote.
Jason has also passed his last language evaluation and will be able to contribute more to the task of translating the Bible into the Tobo language.
He'll also be helping fellow missionaries in developing teaching lessons and discipling the believers.
Please pray that with Jason's new role in the ministry, and with the training of Ambox and Welson, the Tobos will have plenty of opportunity to hear God's Word and learn about God's love for them.
