The Collins Family
Collins Family October 2015 Prayer Requests
Friends,
Here are a few prayer requests for October for the Collins.
1. Classes finish on October 16. Wes has been teaching an intensive two-month-long course in phonology to help students understand the sound systems of other languages and to give insight into how to develop alphabets for unwritten languages. Pray that the students finish well and that Wes’ teaching would be clear and helpful. Some students are headed to the field while others have been there for years.
2. There is tremendous pressure on speakers of minority languages to abandon their languages for the mega-languages like Spanish, and English, Chinese among others. But when people lose their native language, they lose a spark of what God intends for heaven to be—a place where all peoples, nations, tribes and tongues have a place at the table. Pray that those who need to hear the Gospel in their legacy language would indeed be able to do that through creative means for getting the Word out in the lesser-known (to us) languages of the world.
Blessings to you.
Wes
