Makhuwa Nahara of Mozambique: Our oral translation team has recently completed translating The Song of Moses as part of a larger translation project of the book of Exodus. The team is preparing for the much larger task of translating the entire New Testament orally. Two Gospels have been completed. Work of this kingdom significance rarely goes uncontested, and this season was no exception. The team pressed through a regional fuel shortage, a serious illness among one of their young children, and personal burdens carried by their leader for his son’s difficulties at college. Yet the Lord sustained them through it all. Fuel was provided, the child recovered, the son is working hard, and the translation was completed — described by the team as one of the richest and most meaningful passages they have worked on. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness! Pray for continued protection, endurance and spiritual insights for the Translators. Pray that the translated Word will be faithful and clear — carrying the full weight of its meaning. Pray that those who have never encountered the Word of God might hear it spoken in their own tongue, receive it with gladness, and be saved.
