- Supported Worker: E & J in North Africa
- Details: Continue to pray for their employee and brother, Owen, who has been holding down the fort in the “Chay” region—that he would make the best use of his time and connect well with the handful of scattered believers. Thank God that he has been getting opportunities to explain the truth with some “Chay” men who are interested. Pray that E and J will have wisdom in knowing how to love their neighbors well and how to build good rhythms for their family at the same time. Papua New Guinea (Pacific). Population: 10,762,817 Believers: 25.7%. Translation and literacy programs and appropriate Christian literature are fundamental for acculturating the gospel. PNG has over 800 languages, and the majority still do not have a single verse of Scripture. About 210 languages have a NT, but only 12 or so have a complete Bible. Translation teams are needed for 160 languages and possibly for a further 250. Pray for translators, for means of making the arduous task faster and more accurate, and for indigenous translators/language assistants. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
