We're back from two trips and ready to start another Old Testament workshop. Open the letter for a family photo and updated praises and prayer requests.

Dear friends and family,
Recently there has been a spate of false accusations against Wycliffe Bible Translators and SIL regarding the translation of “Son of God” and “God the Father.” The rumor is that SIL supports removing “Son of God” when translating for Muslim audiences.
Please join us in prayer that this rumor be stopped. As the opportunity arises, please do what you can to set things straight. We are copying below a press release (located at http://www.sil.org/sil/news/2012/SIL-Son-of-God-translation.htm) and a Statement of Best Practices (located at http://www.sil.org/translation/divine_familial_terms.htm) to help you understand a bit more what the issue is.
We appreciate your concern and prayers for this matter,
Mark and Patti Bean
