Supported Worker: Wes & Nancy Collins
Countries: Guatemala, Peru, United States of America
Details: After a challenging year, eleven CILTA students graduated from their linguistic classes and are geared up to commence or continue cross-cultural ministry as Bible translators and literacy workers. They had a delightful graduation ceremony with university officials, faculty, local pastors, mission partners and students from seven nations. Pray that their now “former students” would get off on the right foot with learning new languages and cultures. Wes will be in rural Peru for most of February helping to train 14 indigenous church leaders in linguistic skills for Bible translation. The course is faintly similar to CILTA, but CILTA is aimed at Latino missionaries working cross-culturally, whereas the February program is aimed at native language translators translating the Scriptures into their own mother tongues. Pray for effective preparation time for Wes and his teaching assistant, as well as for the students. Jilin Province (province of China) (Asia). In the large and urban cities, there is a much lower percentage of Christians. Pray for churches to be multiplied in urban areas, especially as increasing numbers of rural people migrate to the cities. Pray for protection against the recent rise of pseudo-Christian cults that target house churches to steal away believers.
