The completed books of the New Testament are already being widely used by churches and individuals in the community (catch a glimpse of the procession of the launch of the Chuka Gospel of Luke, in the photo to the right).<br \/>\nThe Chuka 3 project is a transition project that started in 2022 with the goals of:<br \/>\n&#8211; Finalizing the remaining seven books of the New Testament. &#8211; Publishing a few portions of the Old Testament. &#8211; Recording the Magdalena Film and Gospel Film. &#8211; Producing an audio recording of the New Testament. &#8211; Producing the Jesus Messiah comic book for children. &#8211; Continuing to roll out the Oral Bible Storying program in churches and primary schools. &#8211; Creating Scripture use materials in line with the top three felt needs as expressed by the Chuka community: mental health and wellness, fostering sound moral and biblical values within the family unit and society at large, and biblical leadership and governance within the community.<br \/>\nAs we approach the end of the project, please join with our partners and the translation team in praying for:<br \/>\n&#8211; Wisdom, strength, protection and health for all involved. &#8211; Continued community engagement with the individual drafts of the New Testament that have been produced. &#8211; Continued unity around the project and film production. &#8211; The final consultant checking and publishing of the New Testament.<br \/>\nThe skillset, experience and passion of the translators for Scripture engagement within the Chuka community have been a key strength for this project. We praise God for them! As a result of their own creative initiatives in engaging with the Chuka churches and wider community, there is a shared commitment to making the New Testament available to all. ==============================================<br \/>\nUnsubscribe <a href=\"mailto:aimautopostnxjrmbbgzxamhr7g@zoho.com\" >aimautopostnxjrmbbgzxamhr7g@zoho.com<\/a> from this list: <a href=\"https:\/\/abidinginhesed.us5.list-manage.com\/unsubscribe?u=db546fcb26a533fdfc86dbb4a&#038;id=a17cc1a5a7&#038;t=b&#038;e=aea6dceb05&#038;c=6b741d558a\">abidinginhesed.us5.list-manage.com\/unsubscribe?u=db546fcb26a533fdfc86dbb4a&amp;id=a17cc1a5a7&amp;t=b&amp;e=aea6dceb05&amp;c=6b741d558a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*For us: * &#8211; Praise that we&#8217;ve mostly recovered, but pray for Shanna who has come back down with a sinus infection. &#8211; Praise that Benjamin got his final project for his class turned in. &#8211; Praise that the unfoldingWord trainers got all the materials completed for the workshop next week.
