Dear Isnag Ministry Partners,
November 5, we started drafting Leviticus. Please pray for the three Isnags who will be working with Mark Pugyao and me. We plan to finish drafting the book in two weeks’ time. Please pray for:
· Wisdom, and mental stamina as we try to communicate clearly in the Isnag language the Jewish sacrificial system, and the Levitical laws. There are many information that we need to communicate euphemistically (round-about way), especially the sexual sins. · The physical strength we need to finish drafting the book.
· Good working relationships, especially in our discussions of words we need to use in crucial verses.
· Our computers. Mark’s computer is old and sometimes quits even without being turned off. Please pray that he won’t lose any data.
· Our house helpers who will be taking care of our food and keep us clean as we work intensively.
· A focused time and free from any unnecessary distraction.
So far, we have rough-drafted (no checks from native speakers) all books from Leviticus to Jeremiah, with Joshua already checked by native speakers but is not yet checked by a consultant. Genesis and Exodus have been published with the revised New Testament.
Thank you so much for your partnership in giving the complete Scripture to the Isnag people.
Joyfully serving the Lord Jesus Christ in Bible Translation,
Rudy
