Can you imagine holding the very first copy of the Bible printed in your language? For many tribal people, this is just a dream. But for the Lauje people of Indonesia, this dream is becoming a reality.

Earlier this year I joined the team that is preparing the first ever printing of the Lauje New Testament. In the last two months I received translated copies of the book of Revelation and the Gospel According to John. When my primary ministry lets up each month, I get to take what the translation team has prepared and lay it out on what will be the pages of their New Testament Bible.

Barrie Williamson, the key translator, is planning on connecting with some Lauje men in the coming month. When together with them, he is going to finish reading through the last of the books which need to be proofed.

The goal is to print 1,500 copies of the Lauje New Testament by December 2009. Would you please pray with me that the remaining work that needs to be done goes smoothly and that the funds are there to print these Bibles? Thanks
