PRAISES! 
- Praise God for people like you who support us and pray for us!  Your prayers really do make a big difference.  Thank you!

- Our team leader Ron’s wife had a health scare this month with a post-surgery staph infection that required hospitalization.  Praise God she is back home now! 

PRAY FOR OUR TEAM: 
- One team member is still out of the country on a 3-week assignment with a language survey team. He will fly back on February 1. Pray for a safe and healthy last week for the survey team working in a relatively high-risk country, and pray for safe travels back to the USA. 

- We hope to add at least one more translator to our translation team.  Pray for God to provide and bring the right person for the job. 

- Pray for Ron’s wife as she continues to recover at home from her infection.  She will be on antibiotics for at least six more weeks.

- Pray for our translation of Jonah!  It is in the final editing stages now, and we hope to have it released for you to see within a couple weeks!

- Our team is working on translating & filming the first drafts for four new Bible passages.  Pray for the translation process to go smoothly!  Our goal is for these four passages to be approved & released by the end of June.    

- Pray for Bobby, as he will transition to a new role starting this February, as a consultant-in-training working with our team and with other teams. We are excited for him! 

PRAY FOR OTHER DEAF TRANSLATION TEAMS:    
- Please pray for the Costa Rican translation team. Their translation consultant is on-site with them for the next two weeks to do final approvals for their first set of translations. The approval process usually means long and tiring workdays for both the consultant and the team.

- A consultant who works for DOOR International in Kenya, his wife died suddenly this week.  Pray for him and his children.    

- The Russian translation team is continuing to work, but their 2024 funding still has not been fully confirmed yet. Please continue to pray for them! 

Thank you for praying with us.
