I’ll be heading south with fellow-retirees Sharon Smith and Donna Clawson, plus Donna’s sister and sister-in-law, on Wednesday, August 5th – a 2-day drive to reach Alduba where the Dedication of the Banna New Testament will take place. Please pray for safe travel and good fellowship. A conference is planned for the weekend. Praise God for providing the Banna people with His Word in their heart language. Special thanks to all who have prayed and given to make it happen. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will work in hearts during the conference, motivating church leaders to use and promote the Banna New Testaments and putting a strong desire in the hearts of the Banna believers to read and hear God’s Word in their heart language. Pray that their lives will be changed as a result.

I’ll be without internet access from August 5th to August 12th but hope to post news and photos of the conference and dedication after I get back to Addis Ababa.

Praise God for a 30-day extension to my visa. The extension expires August 27th. We plan to apply for another extension at that time. It looks like I can stay until at least early September. God is faithful!
