NTM

Pray for Paska and Robin to find ways to use what they learned on their recent visit to the Maleu church.  We would like to see them share the vision of what a New Testament church should look like with the other Tigak believers.  Pray that the community would be excited and supportive of a new Phase 1 teaching that will begin soon on our island.

Please be praying for Ned as he continues to translate God’s Word into the Tigak language.  He will be having a translation check in September and wants to have as much ready as possible to be checked.  This may be his last chance to have a translation check for the next year.  Pray that Ned can stay focused and use his time wisely.  Also, that he would be able to know how much time to spend on translation and how much to spend on discipleship and training the Tigak believers since we are without partners.

Please be praying for Paska, the main Tigak Bible teacher, as he teaches the believers through the book of I Corinthians.  This is his first time to teach a book of the Bible completely on his own.  We want to see the believers growing and being burdened to reach out to the many Tigak who are unbelievers.

Ned Beall is working with Wayne Baker for two weeks training missionaries, who have just completed their culture and language acquisition, how to begin translating God’s Word into a tribal language.  The time is very full and quite intense.  Please pray for stamina for Ned, Wayne and the othe rmissionaries as they put in long days, six days a week, for the next two weeks.  It is a blessing to be part of preparing more translators for turning the Bible into another tribal language.

Please pray for Ned and the Shivelys as they have meetings and make decisions regarding the work among the Tigak people.
