- Supported Worker: Mark & Patti Bean
- Countries: Peru, United States of America
- Details: At the last minute, with bags packed for Peru, Mark and Patti learned that their passports didn't have the required six months remaining on them to be able to enter the country (a new rule to them)! Despite having to work from home, Mark and the Panao Quechua team made great progress. They not only made it through the books of Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, and the first 13 chapters of 2 Samuel with members of the community, but they also had fun in the process. From October 6-24, Mark will be working remotely with the project that is made up of four related central Quechua languages. They hope to finish adapting Exodus, start on Leviticus, and continue working on outstanding issues in books they have already adapted. Pray for God’s continued blessing on the translations of the Old Testament into these Quechua languages. Romania (Europe). Population: 18,908,651 Believers: 5.4%. Romanians as a mission force are a new and quickly expanding dynamic. At least ten indigenous sending agencies have emerged since 2000, and training programs are multiplying. Romanians can easily access fields that Westerners cannot, and agencies are interested in Romanians serving with them. Limiting factors are the lack of financial support/sponsorship and the lagging missions vision in many churches. Pray for the removal of every barrier to the full flowering of an indigenous missions movement. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
