We didn’t get our visas

Our group of consultants-in-training along with our consultant have reviewed Genesis 1-9 together and this week we’re each consolidating the group’s comments on a chapter and sending them ahead to the Ron translation team. Benjamin did Gen 3 and found that a very different sort of challenge than the initial observations. (This does not necessarily mean that he will be working through notes on Gen 3 with the Ron, that just depends on where we are when it’s his turn. He’ll send a quick prayer note to the prayer list the morning before he’s leading the discussion with details.)

Please pray for the reorganization of a community checking training seminar. It was supposed to be outside the city we’ll be based in, at the main city of the Ron people. However, recent attacks mean we won’t be going out there and need to shrink and move it back to where we’re staying. Please also pray about our drive across the country as there has been significant flooding in Nigeria.

Hopefully, the team will be able to fix issues that are problems and help us understand ones that aren’t and we’ll be able to move quickly and profitably through the text in person. Certainly, new issues will surface or things that seemed small will be large when actually brought up in conversation. Pray for wisdom and grace for all as we’re bringing six new people to meet the local team and four different voices and styles of working through the text.
