東拉瓦

東仁和金（一對韓國夫婦在東拉瓦地區居住並為翻譯團隊服事）逢星期六和星期日上午都在兩個村莊有兒童外展服務，每次大概有十二至三十名兒童參加，一起聆聽聖經故事並學習詩歌。

讚美神！ 最近BorSangae village為兒童外展服務建成一座新大樓。 求主讓這座大樓為那裡的孩子帶來耶穌的福音。

項目協調員Greg Blok於七月份與翻譯團隊一同參與研討會，讓顧問核實《雅各書》，為翻譯本出版準備。請大家為團隊的後勤、準備工作以及行程祈禱。並記念非翻譯團隊的兩名測試人員，願意前往研討會服事祈禱。

Dawn*是Greg and Rosi Blok 遇到的第一位東拉瓦基督徒。大約十年前，她為了讓孩子上學而搬到清邁。由於受到非基督徒的反對，Dawn最近搬回村莊，惟沒有地方居住，目前暫住在Tawan和Jum （翻譯團隊成員）家。Tawan請求大家為Dawn找到住處祈禱，也祝福各人能在目前的居住環境下保持耐心。

今年，當地學校已沒有邀請團隊繼續進行拉瓦語讀寫課程。求主為團隊帶來指引：重返去年開展工作的兩所大型學校，或是嘗試一些新的學校開展識字教育工作。此外，團隊亦可能開設成人識字班。請大家為開設成人識字班以及學校事工的進展祈禱。

讚美神！ 《雅各書》已完成 99%並已送交顧問審核。

AIDIA 總幹事 Luis Cervantes 分享：「今年一月，我們一家前往秘魯叢林的基督教聯盟社區 Alianza Cristiana（位於南部帕斯塔薩克丘亞地區），培訓來自不同社區的領袖。這是上帝給予美好的福份；超過40位領袖得到裝備與鼓勵，我們也有機會與當地老師、青年及兒童一同團契交流。」此外，來自六個不同社區的十位主日學教師接受培訓，並為80位兒童舉辦了教學活動，內容以《新約聖經故事──耶穌的生平與祂的比喻》為主。 感謝神，來自Abancay阿班凱市的義工前來協助培訓，並陪伴孩子們一起學習。

Luis繼續分享：

「旅程中，我們經歷了幾個艱難的時刻，也更深體會到神的信實。前往目的地途中，我們凌晨一時左右抵達一個完全陌生的村莊。周圍漆黑一片，沒有人接待我們，也沒有地方可以住宿。面對這樣的情況，我們決定在河岸邊等候天亮。當初我們很擔心蚊蟲，因為那一帶蚊患嚴重；然而整個清晨幾乎沒有蚊子，我們深深感受到這是神看顧的記號。

回程時，我們同樣遇到困難。我們一早抵達Loboyacu洛博亞庫，打算搭船前往 San Lorenzo聖洛倫索，可是一整天都沒有船經過。夜幕低垂，我們既沒有住宿的地方，也不認識任何人。就在這時，一位女士主動走近我們，親切地邀請我們到她家過夜。後來，又有一位我們素未謀面的男士帶給我們帳篷和床墊，讓我們可以好好休息。神就在最合適的時刻，為我們預備了一個安全的住宿環境。雖然旅途充滿疲憊和未知，但我們清楚看見神一路與我們同在，時刻看顧，並按著我們的需要供應一切。這次旅程再次提醒我們，即使身處困難之中，神仍然一直與我們同在。」

南帕斯塔薩克丘亞（Southern Pastaza Quechua）聖經翻譯事工的進展

《馬太福音》至《哥林多後書》已完成初稿翻譯、翻譯團隊及當地母語人士審核，求神繼續帶領往後的翻譯工作順利進行。

剛果民主共和國

翻譯團隊分享：「我們在Badjenge village巴傑恩格村授課期間，Pastor Samuel村長、其他村領袖邀請我們再次到同一個村舉辦課程。這意味著這項事工的開展正激勵整個社區更加積極參與。」

姆巴內語Mba翻譯工作最新清息：

• 已完成《啟示錄》全書所有翻譯程序。並於四月印製好《提摩太前書》、《提摩太後書》、《提多書》和《腓利門書》。請為確定獻書禮的日期禱告，使這些經卷能順利分發給有需要的人。

• 已將印刷好的一百二十多份代禱通訊分發到各教會。

• 為圖文詞典新增超過100個詞彙。

• 繼續打理好一公頃的柑橘樹林，以幫助支持翻譯事工的經費。

下一步

• 顧問將於八月審核《彼得前書》和《彼得後書》，以及於九月審核《約翰福音一書》至《約翰三書》及《猶大書》。

• 將《提摩太前書》和《提摩太後書》的講道，以及詩歌等內容上載至網站。

• 解決網站目前遇到的的技術問題。

• 將錄製上述內容的音訊以及分發字卡（Flashcards）。

• 透過網上群組、教會及電台推廣網站及手機應用程式（App）。

• 修訂Mbane 姆巴內語的書寫系統，使其更容易閱讀、書寫及學習。請為新的書寫系統的制定過程祈禱，以及翻譯員能順利適應禱告。

• 將為新讀者出版十本小冊子。求主保守出版和發行過程中的所有細節，也求神保守翻譯員有充足時間完成最後的文本審核。

與我們一同禱告

• 感謝你們為事工更有效規劃下一階段的項目祈禱。感謝主現已正執行一項新計劃，現時新譯本文的翻譯顧問審核和批核的數量也顯著增加。祈求新種植的樹苗能健康成長，未來有豐收，並能順利售出，繼續支持 Mba 聖經翻譯及識字事工。

• 早前可可豆種植園遭受山火焚毀。團隊在夏季會恢復移植新幼苗。祈求新種植的樹苗能健康成長，未來有豐收和良好的銷量，從而支持翻譯和識字事工。

威克里夫泰國基金會

Yon來自苗語社群，後來到外地生活並取得學士學位。畢業後Yon在神學院深造，在教會服事數年。後來，Wat主任推薦他應徵威克里夫泰國基金會活動協調員的工作，在職期間接受口述聖經故事（OBS）訓練。Yon非常熱愛這項事工，隨後晉升為口述聖經故事的「倡導者」。

Yon的故事仍在繼續 —— 此後，他多次為少數民族語言群體 - 在Oshiw*（東南亞一個受限制進入的國家）舉辦OBS培訓課程。他亦被派往Joy-cluster*（另一個受限制進入的國家）開展故事講述項目，為南部五個族群提供培訓。威克里夫泰國基金會亦在同一地區，開展一個對象為十個少數民族語言群體的新項目，並派遣Yon負責這項工作。最近，Yon領受上帝的呼召，搬往靠近他所服事的社區。基於安全理由，Yon不能直接移遷至當地社區，但他的家人便已搬遷到附近的一個偏遠城市。他計劃多前往社區，並在泰國舉辦跨文化培訓工作坊。

與我們同心禱告

• 讚美神！因為Yon和家人要離開家鄉和教會群體，Yon的所屬教會於5月3日為他和他的家人舉行差遣禮。

• 感謝你們的祈禱。Taew 已開始在泰華教會分享她的事工。Taew的教會亦會給予她百分之百的支持！

• 為招募合適的活動協調員祈禱。

• 為尋找新主任的過程祈禱。因為「2025願景」已經完成，威克里夫泰國基金會必須在開始尋找新主任之前制定新的願景。

• 為培養泰國教會領袖跨文化的「宣教思維」祈禱。 泰國教會將於2028年8月2日慶祝福音傳入泰國200週年。他們設定目標為届時將有一百萬信徒、一萬間教會和一萬位牧者。但是，他們未有制定如何裝備宣教士以協助實現這項計劃的目標。

• 讚美神！已開始看見栽培年輕人以及裝備他們宣教所帶來的成果。

泰北蘭納

蘭納兒童俱樂部Lanna Kid’s Club是一個逢周六上午為孩子提供學習蘭納語讀寫和英語機會。課程有趣又引人入勝。其中包括聖經故事，以培養他們對上帝的愛和價值觀的認識。

讚美神！有些孩子已接受耶穌基督為救主，之後一直參與教會活動。更感恩的是有些父母第一次走進了教會。這對他們的家庭來說是非常重要的一步。團隊表示：「我們衷心感謝上帝一直以來的信實，每一步都給予我們指引。」

在二月Lanna Day of Love的活動中，團隊有幸在Ban Mae Puka School班梅普卡學校透過上帝的話語與孩子們分享祂的愛。活動內容包括介紹蘭納文字和遊戲，並講述「浪子回頭」的故事。活動最精彩是邀請孩子們參與短劇表演，讓他們扮演「浪子回頭」故事中的角色。這種互動方式不僅幫助他們理解故事，還能牢牢記住並把故事複述。約九十名學生和十位老師參加了這項活動。他們對活動的回應都非常正面。他們尤其喜歡短劇能生動地展現了一位父親對孩子的愛，和耶穌基督對人深厚的愛。

與我們同心禱告

• 為學校和社區的教學事工祈禱 －蘭納團隊將成為上帝之愛的橋樑，連結學生、教師和社區成員，並藉此引導他們認識耶穌基督。

• 感謝你們的祈禱！團隊可以在活動中使用蘭納經文，並為人們的心靈回應主。讚美神！祂為團隊的服事服務打開了許多扇門。願他們繼續有智慧去跟進服務，願那裡的兒童和成人都在追隨上帝的真理中，擁有健康的身體和豐碩的成果。

• 請繼續為再招收兩位實習生祈禱－願上帝帶領合適的人選，對宣教有熱情、堅持和謙卑的心。

Eastern Lawa

Dongin and Jin (a Korean couple who live in the area and serve on the Eastern Lawa translation team) have two children's outreaches running on Saturday and Sunday mornings in two villages. Between 12 to 30 kids are showing up to hear Bible stories and learn Christian songs. 

Praise God for the recent completion of a new building in BorSangae village that is specifically for outreach to the children. Pray they will reach the children there with the message of Jesus.

For the month of July, Greg Blok, project facilitator, plans to accompany the translation team to a workshop where they plan to get a consultant check for the Book of James. This will help the translation get ready for publication. Please pray for the team’s travels and for the logistics and preparation for the trip. Pray for two  people (who are not on the translation team) who would be willing to travel to the workshop and participate as uninitiated translation testers.

The very first Eastern Lawa Christian that Greg and Rosi Blok met is Dawn*. She moved to Chiang Mai about ten years ago for schooling for her children. She was getting opposition from the non-Christians, so Dawn recently moved back to the village. She has nowhere to stay and is living with Tawan and Jum (translation team members). Tawan is asking for prayer for Dawn to find somewhere to live, and for patience for everyone with the current living situation. 

Please pray for literacy work to start back up in the local schools. The schools have not invited the team back this year for further Lawa reading and writing sessions. The team would like to either get back into the two large schools they worked in last year or some new schools. There is also the possibility of adult literacy classes that the team would love to start. Pray for progress with the adult literacy idea as well as the school ministry.

Praise God the book of James is 99% finished and has been sent to the consultant.

AIDIA

Luis Cervantes, Director of AIDIA, shares: “In January, we traveled as a family to the community of Alianza Cristiana [located in the Southern Pastaza Quechua area of the] Peruvian jungle, with the aim of training leaders from various communities. It was a time of great blessing, during which more than 40 leaders were strengthened, and we also had the opportunity to fellowship with teachers, youth, and children.”

Ten Sunday school teachers were trained from six different communities and teaching sessions were held for 80 children focusing on New Testament Stories: The Life of Jesus and His Parables. Praise God for the volunteers from the city of Abancay who came to provide the training and to work with the children. 

Luis says, “During the journey, we faced some difficult moments in which we clearly witnessed God’s faithfulness. On the way there, we arrived around 1:00 a.m. at a community where we knew no one. Everything was dark; there was no one waiting for us, nor was there a place for us to stay. Faced with this situation, we decided to wait on the riverbank until dawn. We were concerned about mosquitoes—as they tend to be abundant in that area—but throughout the early morning hours, there were almost none, and we recognized this as a sign of God’s care.

On the return journey, the situation was also complicated. We arrived in Loboyacu in the morning with the intention of catching a boat to San Lorenzo, but not a single one passed by all day. Hours went by, and as night fell, we had nowhere to stay and knew no one. At that moment, a woman approached us and kindly offered to let us stay in her home. Later, a man— whom we also did not know—returned with tents and mattresses so that we could rest. Thus, God provided a safe place to spend the night, just in time. Despite the exhaustion and uncertainty, we were able to see how God was with us at every moment, watching over us and providing exactly what we needed. This journey reminded us that He is always present, even in the midst of difficulties.

Praise God for the recent translation progress in Southern Pastaza Quechua - for the first draft, team check and local speaker check of Matthew through to 2 Corinthians.

(DRC)- Bali-Mba

The translation team shares, “During our class in Badjenge, Pastor Samuel, a village Chief, and other village leaders had invited us to hold another class in the same village. This shows that the community is more motivated by the program's presence.”

Prayer Updates:

• Completed all the translation steps for the entire Book of Revelations.

• Printed 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon in April - pray for a time of dedication for the printed copies so they can be distributed.

• Printed and distributed more than 120 prayer bulletins to churches

• Added more than 100 words to the illustrated dictionary

• Maintained one hectare of mandarin trees to help provide funding for the work

What’s next?

• Consultant check of 1 & 2 Peter in August and 1 - 3 John and Jude in September

• Resolve the technical difficulties with the website

• Add 1 & 2 Timothy sermons, along with songs and hymns, to the website

• Distribute flashcards and record the audio of the above 

• Promote the website and app in online groups, churches and radio stations

• Revise the Mbane orthography so that it is easy to read and write and easy to learn. Pray for the process of drafting the new orthography and for the translators to be comfortable with it. 

• Publish ten booklets for new readers. Pray for all the steps in the publication and distribution process, and for availability from the translators to approve the text.

Pray with us

• Thank you for praying for an effective planning session for the next phase of the project. Praise God there is a new plan, it is being followed, and the results show considerable increase in translation consultation and approval of new texts.

• The cocoa field was ravaged by bushfire. The team plans to resume transplanting new seedlings over the summer months. Pray for a successful harvest and a good sale of the produce in favour of the translation & literacy work.

Wycliffe Thai Foundation

Yon is from the Hmong language community. He lived away from home as he earned his bachelor’s degree. Yon then continued his studies at seminary and served the church for several years. Next he applied for a job in Wycliffe Thai Foundation through Director Wat’s suggestion and served as the activity coordinator. When he was serving, he was trained in the craft of Oral Bible Storytelling (OBS). He loved it and has since been promoted to become a “champion” for OBS.   

Yon’s story continues - he has since led multiple OBS training sessions for minority language groups in Oshiwa* (a restricted access country in SE Asia). He was sent to start a storytelling project in Joy-cluster* (also restricted access) where he trained five people groups from the southern part of this country. Wycliffe Thai Foundation started a new project for ten minority language groups in the same region and sent Yon to lead this work. Recently, Yon has felt the call of God to move closer to the communities he is serving. For safety reasons, it is not possible for Yon to move directly into a local community, but his family was able to move to a remote city nearby. His plan is to travel to the community often and run cross-training training workshops in Thailand.  

Pray with us

• Praise God that Yon’s church had a mission commissioning service on May 3 for him and his family as they move far from their home and church community.  

• Thank you for praying for Taew as she begins sharing her ministry in the Chinese-Thai church. Praise God that Taew's church will give her 100% support!

• Pray for the ongoing process of searching for an activity coordinator. 

• Continue to pray for the ongoing process of searching for a new Director. Wycliffe  Thai Foundation will first work on a new vision, as Vision 2025 is finished. The vision must be set before the search for a new Director begins. 

• Pray for a cross-cultural “mission mindset” for the Thai church leaders. In August  2028, the Thai church will celebrate 200 years of the gospel in Thailand. They have set goals of 1,000,000 believers, 10,000 churches and 10,000 pastors by that date.  But there are no goals for equipping missionaries to help with this plan. 

• Praise God that Wycliffe Thai Foundation is seeing the fruit of investing in young people and equipping them for missions.

Northern Thai

Lanna Kid’s Club is a Saturday morning class that provides children with the opportunity to learn Lanna reading and writing alongside English lessons. This combination makes learning both enjoyable and engaging. Bible storytelling is included to nurture their understanding of God’s love and values. 

Praise God that some children made the decision to accept Christ and have since continued attending church. Even more encouraging is that some parents attended church for the very first time. This marks a significant step for their families. The team says, “We are deeply grateful to God for His guidance and faithfulness throughout every step of this ministry journey.”

During the Lanna Day of Love event in February, the team was blessed with the opportunity to share God’s love through His Word with children at Ban Mae Puka School. The activities included introducing the Lanna script, games, and storytelling based on the parable of the prodigal son. A highlight of the event was inviting children to participate in a short drama, allowing them to take on roles from the parable. This interactive approach helped them not only understand but also remember and retell the story effectively. Ten teachers and about 90 students joined the program. Feedback from both teachers and students was overwhelmingly positive. They especially enjoyed the drama, as it vividly illustrates a father’s love for his child and reflected the profound love of Jesus Christ for humanity.

Pray with us

- Pray for the teaching ministry in schools and the community - that the Lanna team will be a bridge of God’s love to both students, teachers, and community members and that relationships built will lead them to know Jesus Christ.

- Thank you for praying for opportunities for the team to use Lanna scriptures in their activities and for hearts to respond to the Lord. Praise God He has opened so many doors for the team to serve. Continue to pray for wisdom about which to follow up on, good health and fruit in the lives of the children and adults they are reaching with God's truth.

- Please continue to pray for two more interns - that God will lead the right people who have understanding, a heart for missions, perseverance, and humility.

除了清理和重新排版文字外，翻譯員還需處理好幾個小時的錄音，以製作配套有聲聖經應用程式。約翰福音的副本正在運送阿爾伯塔省的途中。由於一些技術問題，應用程式的發布有所延遲，但我們祈禱這些問題很快會解決。

馬斯克瓦西斯克里族 Maskwacis Cree Nation - 創傷療癒 (4月22日至5月27日)

創傷療癒師 Robyn Kunz 報道：參加者當中，包括兩位在馬斯克瓦西斯文化學院Maskwacis Cultural College任教的女士。她們非常欣賞這個以基督教為基礎的項目，有別於一般「世俗化」或「新時代」的理念，她們尤其讚賞其中以手勢配合背誦經文的方式。從約瑟的故事中，分享他們的故事與約瑟故事的相似之處的方式，深受大家喜愛。一位年輕的父親顯然從小組得到啟發，他說：「這幫助我了解醫治，也給了我幫助他人的方法。」這兩位女士表示有興趣繼續禱告，並有可能成為小組的帶領者。讚美主！

Indigenous Initiatives

ᐊᓂᐦᔑᓂᓃᒧᐏᐣ – Anishininiimowin (Oji-Cree)

Matthew Windsor (project facilitator) reports, “Summertime in [Kingfisher Lake] sees a number of ministry events: Northern Youth Programs sends volunteers up, churches sometimes send up volunteers, and the William Winter School of Ministry happens at the Bible camp. The Scott family will be coming as usual and our new supervisor Dan Grove will be coming to teach at the camp. We don’t really know what will hit us any given summer; we just pray for God’s will to be done and that we can use the increased interactions with people for his glory.”

Also pray for Bishop Lydia as spent a month out at the hospital in Sioux Lookout. Pray for her recovery from a blood infection.

Blackfoot

Alice Reed (translation consultant) reports, “One exciting piece of news we can share is that the Gospel of John in Blackfoot has just been reprinted for the first time in nearly 50 years! This was a high priority request which allowed Blackfoot believers to begin to use existing Scripture portions immediately within their communities. 

In addition to cleaning up and re-typesetting the written text, translators processed hours of audio recordings in order to produce an accompanying audio Scripture app. Copies of John are on their way to Alberta at this very moment. There are a few technical issues delaying the launch of the app, but we pray they will be resolved soon.” 

Maskwacis Cree Nation - Trauma Healing （April 22 to May 27）

Robyn Kunz (Trauma Healing facilitator) reports, “Participants included two ladies who teach at the Maskwacis Cultural College. They really appreciated that this program is Christian-based as opposed to "worldly" or "new age" and especially the emphasis on Scripture memorization with gestures. Sharing their stories and finding parallels in the Joseph story was a real hit. One young father was clearly impacted by the group and said: "This has helped me understand healing and given me tools to help others". The two ladies are interested in continuing prayer and possibly becoming facilitators themselves.” Praise God!

威克里夫泰國基金會

Tik從前在威克里夫泰國基金會擔任實習生的時候，有機會帶領一支短期團隊前往Kinsha金沙*地區。他是一位單身青年。在那次行程中，他看見當地人民的需要，內心深受感動。Tik完成實習後，繼續在威克里夫泰國基金會工作一段時間，讓他再有機會帶領團隊前往泰國。這次行程使他對當地人民產生更深的負擔，更燃起他服事當地人民的熱情。

Tik決定在搬往該國之前，先花一年時間學習當地語言。然而，因為在學習期間戰爭爆發，使他無法按原定計劃前往。後來他選擇繼續學習語言，希望情況能好轉，但事與願違。最後，Tik懷著對未來的盼望，決定親自前往該國學習語言。他在當地一所大學中認真學習。憑著極大的熱情與堅定的決心，終於順利完成兩年的語言學習。經過這段預備期，現正尋求神的帶領，以更好服事該國人民。請為Tik代禱，記念他對基督事工的付出與委身。

為一位威克里夫泰國基金會成員Taew泰祈禱，她開始在泰華教會分享她的事工。祈禱教會成員理解這項工作，並願意參與其中。

伊森口述聖經故事Isan Oral Bible Storying：Khun Lamyai 拉米婭在大約十歲的時候，第一次聽到「耶穌充滿能力與權柄，祂為了幫助人類而來到世上。」有關耶穌的故事。可是，自那次後就再沒有聽過有關上帝的故事。一天， Isan Oral Bible伊森口述聖經翻譯團隊帶著翻譯好的故事進行社區審核，現年七十四歲的拉米婭女士終於再次聽到耶穌的故事。Joy 喬伊與拉米婭女士分享福音，鼓勵拉她堅定信仰，說：「上帝已經把恩典向你顯明，給你另一個機會——讓你在生命的盡頭之前再次清晰地聽到福音。」讚美神！兩週後，拉米婭女士決定相信並接受耶穌為她的主和救主。

Isan伊桑隊計劃每月與當地教會舉辦禱告和團契聚會，幫助教會更清楚認識使用聖經的重要性。此外，請大家為主辦一個翻譯《路加福音》不同文學體裁的訓練研討會祈禱。

Eastern Lawa

The Eastern Lawa team participated in the annual Wilanka Lawa cultural festival in February. They set up a booth with tables and materials on display for people to interact with. The goal was to increase exposure to the written Lawa language materials. And the hope was to generate interest from schools or other places where people want to learn to read and write their own language. The booth included many games and hundreds of people visited and had fun playing literacy games involving written Lawa.

Praise God that a team from Wycliffe Canada visited the Lawa office and spent time learning about the project, hearing about the impact and praying for the team.

Thank you for your prayer

⚬ Thank you praying for Rosie Blok’s heart issues over the past year. Praise God she had an ablation surgery in mid-March and has recovered well from that.

⚬ The team worked through a team check for 1st and 2nd Peter. Praise God the books have been checked and they are ready for community testing. Pray for three or more people for the community testing who haven't been involved in the drafting and who are available and capable to answer questions.

⚬ Greg and Rosie Blok hope to spend time in Thailand to continue to serve the Eastern Lawa people and translation team. Praise God! Bloks have booked upcoming flights to Thailand. They will attend the workshop for translation consultant development in July. And the translation team will also be able to attend and that the book of James is ready for consultant checking! Pray that will find two suitable people who are not from the team - to help with being uninitiated testers for the workshop. Pray the Blok’s truck and computers will be ready to use when they arrive in Thailand.

AIDIA

In Southern and Northern Pastaza, remote monitoring was carried out through reports from local leaders. Despite connectivity limitations in some communities, the reports confirmed that the pilot program is functioning properly, and subsequent trips will be made to continue the work in the jungle communities. Praise God!

In Southern Pastaza, during the month of November, a week-long leadership training was held in the Christian Alliance Church community, using the  Understanding the Christian Faith material. Thirty people participated, including leaders and church members, making it a time of learning and strengthening of faith. 

The translation team gives thanks to God that facilitator Yuliño's November trip to Southern Pastaza went smoothly and was encouraging and uplifting for the leaders and translators.

Praise God for the completion of these translation tasks in the Southern Pastaza translation of Matthew to Romans: first draft, team check, local speaker check, and incorporation of editing notes.

Prayer Updates

⚬ Let us pray for the health and well-being of the entire community of Pastaza, especially the children and the elderly. Let us also ask God to provide better living conditions, such as housing, access to water, and other basic needs.

⚬ Let us pray for the leaders in Apurímac and the jungle region, that God may strengthen them and that they may remain steadfast in the Lord’s work, and for all that God is doing through the use of water filters in the jungle.

(DRC)- Bali-Mba

It is amazing to read how the young people in the Bali community are involved in the language work. One young person opened a WhatsApp group to promote the Bali language among young Bali speakers. Bali youth are also dedicating themselves to composing Scripture-based songs in the Bali language. 

More encouraging news from the field is that pastors are requesting portions of Scripture in Bali - from the Bible translation office - in order to prepare their Sunday sermons. We are told that if the congregation doesn't hear the passage read in Bali, they are not happy that Sunday!

Praise God for the recent translation work that includes adding 52 words to the dictionary, consultant-checking Revelation 1-16, adding Ephesians to the Bible app and preparing 25 hymns for printing.

Pray for the translation team’s goals to complete the consultant check of Revelation 17-22, maintain the Bafwasende palm grove, write and distribute the bi-monthly prayer bulletin, organize a special fundraising Sunday, add Ephesians and 1 & 2 Peter to the website and record Ephesians and 1 & 2 Peter in audio. The hope is to also add sermons, songs and hymns to the website and record audio for the same.

⚬ Pray for the challenge of waiting for both radio stations in the area to be repaired; many people want to hear the Scriptures read on the radio.

⚬ Pray for the Bali literacy teacher, Pastor Bayasana Athanase, who continues to suffer from his stroke.

⚬ Pray for the safety of the DRC which continues to deteriorate. There is a flood of displaced people in Bafwasende, sleeping under the open sky.

⚬ Pray for good effectiveness for the next project planning session that is currently underway.

⚬ Pray for the third consultant checking session of Revelation chapter 17-22 and for its preparations.

Wycliffe Thai Foundation

Tik is a single young man who served as an intern with Wycliffe Thai Foundation and was given the opportunity to lead a short-term team to the Kinsha* region. On this trip, he was deeply moved by the needs of the local people. After Tik finished his internship, he continued working with Wycliffe Thai Foundation for a while and had another opportunity to lead a team to the same country. This second trip strengthened his burden even more and his passion to serve the people there continued to grow.

Tik committed himself to learning the local language. His plan was to study the language for one year before moving to the country. However, during his time of study, a war broke out, making it impossible for him to go as planned. He chose to continue studying the language, hoping the situation would improve, but this did not happen. Eventually, Tik decided to go into the country to learn the language directly. He placed his hope and effort into studying at a local university. With strong passion and commitment, he successfully completed two years of language study. Now, having finished this season of preparation, he is praying and seeking God’s direction for the next step in serving the people of that country. Pray for Tik in his efforts and dedication to serving for Christ.

Pray for Taew (Wycliffe Thai Foundation member) as she begins sharing her ministry in the Chinese-Thai church. Pray that the church members will understand the work and want to be part of the ministry.

Isan Oral Bible Storying: Khun Lamyai first heard that ‘Jesus is a powerful and mighty one who came to help humanity’ when she was about ten years old. Now at the age of 74, she had never since heard the story of God. On the day the Isan Oral Bible Translation team brought the translated stories for a community check, Khun Lamyai heard the story of Jesus once more. Joy shared the gospel and challenged Khun Lamyai in her faith, saying, ‘God has shown you grace and is giving you another opportunity—by allowing you to hear the gospel clearly once more before the end of your life.’ Two weeks later, Khun Lamyai decided to believe and welcomed Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Praise God!

⚬ Pray for the Isan team goals to organize monthly prayer and fellowship meetings with local churches and help the churches recognize the value of using Scripture accurately and more effectively. Pray also for the goal to host training workshops on translating different literary genres in the Gospel of Luke. 

Prayer Hour

We invite you to join us online in prayer on Tuesday, June 2.

Northern Thai

At a recent Bible translation conference the Northern Thai Lanna team helped to organize a booth and manage Zoom sessions. This allowed them to see ministry work involving collaborators from many countries, observe the Bible translations process, and further develop their English language skills.

Lanna Kid’s Club update: The club had its first activities after the Lanna office moved into the community. The team invited a group of interested participants to join a three-day reading and writing program that focused on Lanna script literacy, as well as reading the Bible and other books in the Lanna language. Participants read the story of the prodigal son from the gospel of Luke. Many shared that Jesus’ teachings are beautiful and full of forgiveness. It was a very touching experience.

⚬ Praise God the children are able to remember the Bible stories they are learning at Lanna Kid’s Club and are sharing them with their classmates.

⚬ Pray for all the children and adults who come to the Lanna Center - that they will sense God's presence and love and grow in their knowledge and love for the Lord.  

⚬ Pray for the goal to teach adult classes as well as train some school teachers to read, write and teach Lanna. The team also plans to have reading groups to follow up after the classes.

⚬ Pray the Lanna team members will also continue to grow stronger in their faith and in their relationships as team members.

⚬ Thank you for praying for JaJa as she completed her internship. Praise God she finished well and is now preparing to return to her home area to serve her community by starting a literacy program in her mother tongue, Sgaw Karen.  She plans to apply to Wycliffe Thailand Foundation over the coming year with the plan of serving on a team in a neighboring country in the future.

Matthew Windsor（項目協調員）報告，「翠鳥湖 Kingfisher Lake 的夏季活動豐富多彩：北方青年事工和教會將派義工前來，威廉溫特事工學校 William Winter School of Ministry亦會舉辦聖經營舉。如往常一樣，Scott 一家將會前來，而我們的新監督Dan Grove 也會來營地授課。我們祈禱盼望上帝藉著這個夏天，願祂的旨意得以成就，透過增加人與人之間的交流來榮耀祂。 」

黑腳族 Blackfoot

翻譯顧問艾莉絲·里德 Alice Reed 報告說：“我們可以分享一個令人興奮的消息，那就是近50年來《黑腳族的約翰福音》首次再版！這一直是黑腳族信徒的優先項目，使他們能夠立即在其社區內開始使用現有的聖經經文。

除了清理和重新排版文字外，翻譯員還需處理好幾個小時的錄音，以製作配套有聲聖經應用程式。約翰福音的副本正在運送阿爾伯塔省的途中。由於一些技術問題，應用程式的發布有所延遲，但我們祈禱這些問題很快會解決。

馬斯克瓦西斯克里族 Maskwacis Cree Nation - 創傷療癒 (4月22日至5月27日)

創傷療癒師 Robyn Kunz 報道：參加者當中，包括兩位在馬斯克瓦西斯文化學院Maskwacis Cultural College任教的女士。她們非常欣賞這個以基督教為基礎的項目，有別於一般「世俗化」或「新時代」的理念，她們尤其讚賞其中以手勢配合背誦經文的方式。從約瑟的故事中，分享他們的故事與約瑟故事的相似之處的方式，深受大家喜愛。一位年輕的父親顯然從小組得到啟發，他說：「這幫助我了解醫治，也給了我幫助他人的方法。」這兩位女士表示有興趣繼續禱告，並有可能成為小組的帶領者。讚美主！

Indigenous Initiatives

ᐊᓂᐦᔑᓂᓃᒧᐏᐣ – Anishininiimowin (Oji-Cree)

Matthew Windsor (project facilitator) reports, “Summertime in [Kingfisher Lake] sees a number of ministry events: Northern Youth Programs sends volunteers up, churches sometimes send up volunteers, and the William Winter School of Ministry happens at the Bible camp. The Scott family will be coming as usual and our new supervisor Dan Grove will be coming to teach at the camp. We don’t really know what will hit us any given summer; we just pray for God’s will to be done and that we can use the increased interactions with people for his glory.”

Also pray for Bishop Lydia as spent a month out at the hospital in Sioux Lookout. Pray for her recovery from a blood infection.

Blackfoot

Alice Reed (translation consultant) reports, “One exciting piece of news we can share is that the Gospel of John in Blackfoot has just been reprinted for the first time in nearly 50 years! This was a high priority request which allowed Blackfoot believers to begin to use existing Scripture portions immediately within their communities. 

In addition to cleaning up and re-typesetting the written text, translators processed hours of audio recordings in order to produce an accompanying audio Scripture app. Copies of John are on their way to Alberta at this very moment. There are a few technical issues delaying the launch of the app, but we pray they will be resolved soon.” 

Maskwacis Cree Nation - Trauma Healing （April 22 to May 27）

Robyn Kunz (Trauma Healing facilitator) reports, “Participants included two ladies who teach at the Maskwacis Cultural College. They really appreciated that this program is Christian-based as opposed to "worldly" or "new age" and especially the emphasis on Scripture memorization with gestures. Sharing their stories and finding parallels in the Joseph story was a real hit. One young father was clearly impacted by the group and said: "This has helped me understand healing and given me tools to help others". The two ladies are interested in continuing prayer and possibly becoming facilitators themselves.” Praise God!

剛果民主共和國

最近，我們為到峇里社區有一位年輕人積極參與語言工作而感恩。這位年輕人創建了一個WhatsApp群組，向年輕的巴厘語使用者推廣巴厘語。此外，亦有一些巴厘青年致力用巴厘語創作以聖經為基礎的歌曲。

讚美神！峇里當地的一些牧師向聖經翻譯處索取部分巴厘語經文，以準備週日講道。這些會眾聽到峇裡語朗讀經文就很雀躍，在主日聽不到峇裡語就不高興呢！

⚬ 最近的翻譯工作包括：有52個單詞加入字典、顧問校對《啟示錄》一至十六章小寫、把《以弗所書》加入在聖經應用程式中，並準備印刷25首讚美詩。

請為翻譯團隊的目標祈禱

⚬ 感恩已完成《啟示錄》十七至二十二章的顧問查核。求主保守Bafwasende一塊棕櫚田，並為撰寫及分發雙月禱告事項，和組織一個特別的主日籌款活動禱告。此外，翻譯團隊需將《以弗所書》、《彼得前書》及《彼得後書》加上網站以及製作錄音。期望日後也能錄製講道、歌曲與讚美詩，並上載至網站。

⚬ 為巴厘島掃盲教師Pastor Bayasana Athanase巴亞薩納·阿塔納斯牧師仍然承受中風所帶來的痛苦祈禱。

⚬ 為了剛果民主共和國的安全持續惡化祈禱。Bafwasende有大量流離失所的人湧入，露宿街頭。

⚬ 求主保守現正進行下一階段項目規劃會議可有效率地完成。

威克里夫泰國基金會

Tik從前在威克里夫泰國基金會擔任實習生的時候，有機會帶領一支短期團隊前往Kinsha金沙*地區。他是一位單身青年。在那次行程中，他看見當地人民的需要，內心深受感動。Tik完成實習後，繼續在威克里夫泰國基金會工作一段時間，讓他再有機會帶領團隊前往泰國。這次行程使他對當地人民產生更深的負擔，更燃起他服事當地人民的熱情。

Tik決定在搬往該國之前，先花一年時間學習當地語言。然而，因為在學習期間戰爭爆發，使他無法按原定計劃前往。後來他選擇繼續學習語言，希望情況能好轉，但事與願違。最後，Tik懷著對未來的盼望，決定親自前往該國學習語言。他在當地一所大學中認真學習。憑著極大的熱情與堅定的決心，終於順利完成兩年的語言學習。經過這段預備期，現正尋求神的帶領，以更好服事該國人民。請為Tik代禱，記念他對基督事工的付出與委身。

為一位威克里夫泰國基金會成員Taew泰祈禱，她開始在泰華教會分享她的事工。祈禱教會成員理解這項工作，並願意參與其中。

伊森口述聖經故事Isan Oral Bible Storying：Khun Lamyai 拉米婭在大約十歲的時候，第一次聽到「耶穌充滿能力與權柄，祂為了幫助人類而來到世上。」有關耶穌的故事。可是，自那次後就再沒有聽過有關上帝的故事。一天， Isan Oral Bible伊森口述聖經翻譯團隊帶著翻譯好的故事進行社區審核，現年七十四歲的拉米婭女士終於再次聽到耶穌的故事。Joy 喬伊與拉米婭女士分享福音，鼓勵拉她堅定信仰，說：「上帝已經把恩典向你顯明，給你另一個機會——讓你在生命的盡頭之前再次清晰地聽到福音。」讚美神！兩週後，拉米婭女士決定相信並接受耶穌為她的主和救主。

Wycliffe Thai Foundation

Tik is a single young man who served as an intern with Wycliffe Thai Foundation and was given the opportunity to lead a short-term team to the Kinsha* region. On this trip, he was deeply moved by the needs of the local people. After Tik finished his internship, he continued working with Wycliffe Thai Foundation for a while and had another opportunity to lead a team to the same country. This second trip strengthened his burden even more and his passion to serve the people there continued to grow.

Tik committed himself to learning the local language. His plan was to study the language for one year before moving to the country. However, during his time of study, a war broke out, making it impossible for him to go as planned. He chose to continue studying the language, hoping the situation would improve, but this did not happen. Eventually, Tik decided to go into the country to learn the language directly. He placed his hope and effort into studying at a local university. With strong passion and commitment, he successfully completed two years of language study. Now, having finished this season of preparation, he is praying and seeking God’s direction for the next step in serving the people of that country. Pray for Tik in his efforts and dedication to serving for Christ.

Pray for Taew (Wycliffe Thai Foundation member) as she begins sharing her ministry in the Chinese-Thai church. Pray that the church members will understand the work and want to be part of the ministry.

Isan Oral Bible Storying: Khun Lamyai first heard that ‘Jesus is a powerful and mighty one who came to help humanity’ when she was about ten years old. Now at the age of 74, she had never since heard the story of God. On the day the Isan Oral Bible Translation team brought the translated stories for a community check, Khun Lamyai heard the story of Jesus once more. Joy shared the gospel and challenged Khun Lamyai in her faith, saying, ‘God has shown you grace and is giving you another opportunity—by allowing you to hear the gospel clearly once more before the end of your life.’ Two weeks later, Khun Lamyai decided to believe and welcomed Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Praise God!

⚬ Pray for the Isan team goals to organize monthly prayer and fellowship meetings with local churches and help the churches recognize the value of using Scripture accurately and more effectively. Pray also for the goal to host training workshops on translating different literary genres in the Gospel of Luke.

Northern Thai

At a recent Bible translation conference the Northern Thai Lanna team helped to organize a booth and manage Zoom sessions. This allowed them to see ministry work involving collaborators from many countries, observe the Bible translations process, and further develop their English language skills.

Lanna Kid’s Club update: The club had its first activities after the Lanna office moved into the community. The team invited a group of interested participants to join a three-day reading and writing program that focused on Lanna script literacy, as well as reading the Bible and other books in the Lanna language. Participants read the story of the prodigal son from the gospel of Luke. Many shared that Jesus’ teachings are beautiful and full of forgiveness. It was a very touching experience.

⚬ Praise God the children are able to remember the Bible stories they are learning at Lanna Kid’s Club and are sharing them with their classmates.

⚬ Pray for all the children and adults who come to the Lanna Center - that they will sense God's presence and love and grow in their knowledge and love for the Lord.  

⚬ Pray for the goal to teach adult classes as well as train some school teachers to read, write and teach Lanna. The team also plans to have reading groups to follow up after the classes.

⚬ Pray the Lanna team members will also continue to grow stronger in their faith and in their relationships as team members.

⚬ Thank you for praying for JaJa as she completed her internship. Praise God she finished well and is now preparing to return to her home area to serve her community by starting a literacy program in her mother tongue, Sgaw Karen.  She plans to apply to Wycliffe Thailand Foundation over the coming year with the plan of serving on a team in a neighboring country in the future.

威克里夫泰國基金會

Tik從前在威克里夫泰國基金會擔任實習生的時候，有機會帶領一支短期團隊前往Kinsha金沙*地區。他是一位單身青年。在那次行程中，他看見當地人民的需要，內心深受感動。Tik完成實習後，繼續在威克里夫泰國基金會工作一段時間，讓他再有機會帶領團隊前往泰國。這次行程使他對當地人民產生更深的負擔，更燃起他服事當地人民的熱情。

Tik決定在搬往該國之前，先花一年時間學習當地語言。然而，因為在學習期間戰爭爆發，使他無法按原定計劃前往。後來他選擇繼續學習語言，希望情況能好轉，但事與願違。最後，Tik懷著對未來的盼望，決定親自前往該國學習語言。他在當地一所大學中認真學習。憑著極大的熱情與堅定的決心，終於順利完成兩年的語言學習。經過這段預備期，現正尋求神的帶領，以更好服事該國人民。請為Tik代禱，記念他對基督事工的付出與委身。

為一位威克里夫泰國基金會成員Taew泰祈禱，她開始在泰華教會分享她的事工。祈禱教會成員理解這項工作，並願意參與其中。

伊森口述聖經故事Isan Oral Bible Storying：Khun Lamyai 拉米婭在大約十歲的時候，第一次聽到「耶穌充滿能力與權柄，祂為了幫助人類而來到世上。」有關耶穌的故事。可是，自那次後就再沒有聽過有關上帝的故事。一天， Isan Oral Bible伊森口述聖經翻譯團隊帶著翻譯好的故事進行社區審核，現年七十四歲的拉米婭女士終於再次聽到耶穌的故事。Joy 喬伊與拉米婭女士分享福音，鼓勵拉她堅定信仰，說：「上帝已經把恩典向你顯明，給你另一個機會——讓你在生命的盡頭之前再次清晰地聽到福音。」讚美神！兩週後，拉米婭女士決定相信並接受耶穌為她的主和救主。

Isan伊桑隊計劃每月與當地教會舉辦禱告和團契聚會，幫助教會更清楚認識使用聖經的重要性。此外，請大家為主辦一個翻譯《路加福音》不同文學體裁的訓練研討會祈禱。

Eastern Lawa

The Eastern Lawa team participated in the annual Wilanka Lawa cultural festival in February. They set up a booth with tables and materials on display for people to interact with. The goal was to increase exposure to the written Lawa language materials. And the hope was to generate interest from schools or other places where people want to learn to read and write their own language. The booth included many games and hundreds of people visited and had fun playing literacy games involving written Lawa.

Praise God that a team from Wycliffe Canada visited the Lawa office and spent time learning about the project, hearing about the impact and praying for the team.

Thank you for your prayer

⚬ Thank you praying for Rosie Blok’s heart issues over the past year. Praise God she had an ablation surgery in mid-March and has recovered well from that.

⚬ The team worked through a team check for 1st and 2nd Peter. Praise God the books have been checked and they are ready for community testing. Pray for three or more people for the community testing who haven't been involved in the drafting and who are available and capable to answer questions.

⚬ Greg and Rosie Blok hope to spend time in Thailand to continue to serve the Eastern Lawa people and translation team. Praise God! Bloks have booked upcoming flights to Thailand. They will attend the workshop for translation consultant development in July. And the translation team will also be able to attend and that the book of James is ready for consultant checking! Pray that will find two suitable people who are not from the team - to help with being uninitiated testers for the workshop. Pray the Blok’s truck and computers will be ready to use when they arrive in Thailand.

Praise God that the drafts of 1 & 2 Peter are ready for community testing. Pray for Lawa people to help with the testing so the translation can progress in good time. bit.ly/PrayforEasternLawa

AIDIA

In Southern and Northern Pastaza, remote monitoring was carried out through reports from local leaders. Despite connectivity limitations in some communities, the reports confirmed that the pilot program is functioning properly, and subsequent trips will be made to continue the work in the jungle communities. Praise God!

In Southern Pastaza, during the month of November, a week-long leadership training was held in the Christian Alliance Church community, using the  Understanding the Christian Faith material. Thirty people participated, including leaders and church members, making it a time of learning and strengthening of faith. 

The translation team gives thanks to God that facilitator Yuliño's November trip to Southern Pastaza went smoothly and was encouraging and uplifting for the leaders and translators.

Praise God for the completion of these translation tasks in the Southern Pastaza translation of Matthew to Romans: first draft, team check, local speaker check, and incorporation of editing notes.

Prayer Updates

⚬ Let us pray for the health and well-being of the entire community of Pastaza, especially the children and the elderly. Let us also ask God to provide better living conditions, such as housing, access to water, and other basic needs.

⚬ Let us pray for the leaders in Apurímac and the jungle region, that God may strengthen them and that they may remain steadfast in the Lord’s work, and for all that God is doing through the use of water filters in the jungle.

(DRC)- Bali-Mba

It is amazing to read how the young people in the Bali community are involved in the language work. One young person opened a WhatsApp group to promote the Bali language among young Bali speakers. Bali youth are also dedicating themselves to composing Scripture-based songs in the Bali language. 

More encouraging news from the field is that pastors are requesting portions of Scripture in Bali - from the Bible translation office - in order to prepare their Sunday sermons. We are told that if the congregation doesn't hear the passage read in Bali, they are not happy that Sunday!

Praise God for the recent translation work that includes adding 52 words to the dictionary, consultant-checking Revelation 1-16, adding Ephesians to the Bible app and preparing 25 hymns for printing.

Pray for the translation team’s goals to complete the consultant check of Revelation 17-22, maintain the Bafwasende palm grove, write and distribute the bi-monthly prayer bulletin, organize a special fundraising Sunday, add Ephesians and 1 & 2 Peter to the website and record Ephesians and 1 & 2 Peter in audio. The hope is to also add sermons, songs and hymns to the website and record audio for the same.

⚬ Pray for the challenge of waiting for both radio stations in the area to be repaired; many people want to hear the Scriptures read on the radio.

⚬ Pray for the Bali literacy teacher, Pastor Bayasana Athanase, who continues to suffer from his stroke.

⚬ Pray for the safety of the DRC which continues to deteriorate. There is a flood of displaced people in Bafwasende, sleeping under the open sky.

⚬ Pray for good effectiveness for the next project planning session that is currently underway.

⚬ Pray for the third consultant checking session of Revelation chapter 17-22 and for its preparations.

原住民倡議

來自黑腳族社區 The Blackfoot community 的羅西·簡·泰爾費瑟斯 Rosie Jane Tailfeathers在最近一次原住民倡議Indigenous Initiatives祈禱會中分享以下代禱事項：

黑腳語翻譯項目
⚬ 讓翻譯團隊集中精神力量、團結一致，願上帝賜下智慧與洞見，使他們能準確地把神學概念轉譯成黑腳語及相關方言，讓信息被清楚理解。
⚬ 顧問正在查核並修改《路加福音》的前一百節經文中。求主記念團隊在過程中學習改進，以應付接下來的一百多節經文的翻譯工作。
⚬ 為能夠重新錄製清晰的音頻翻譯祈禱。求主讓團隊找到合適自己的方法完成事工。
⚬ 今年計劃重印《約翰福音》並製作黑腳語聖經翻譯應用程式。讓發行《約翰福音》不同譯本的過程中有良好的討論和回響。並為《路加福音》前一百節經文在黑腳族的社區試驗祈禱。

「2026年全民聖經」騎行籌款

7月5日至18日，我們將與一群充滿熱情的騎行者一起，從加拿大卑詩省白石鎮騎行數百公里至加拿大阿爾伯塔省卡加利。我們的目標是籌集五萬美元。盼望將上帝的福音帶給世界各地一些最艱難、最敏感地區的信徒。

為什麼這很重要？
你能想像嗎？擁有一本聖經意味著要冒著生命危險或失去自由；又或者，你和其他基督徒秘密聚會，用你幾乎聽不懂的語言閱讀聖經。然而，他們對神話語的渴慕卻絲毫未減。他們等候、禱告，渴望第一次用自己的語言清楚地領悟聖經。

透過這次騎行活動，我們正在籌集資金，以支持重要的聖經翻譯項目，並將改變生命的聖經信息送到那些從未接觸過聖經的人手中。

無論你是加入車隊成為騎手或後勤人員，還是透過祈禱和捐款支持我們的使命，每一份付出都至關重要。

Indigenous Initiatives

At a recent prayer gathering for the Indigenous Initiatives, Rosie Jane Tailfeathers from the Blackfoot community shared these prayer items:

The Blackfoot translation project
⚬ Pray for the translation team to focus on their spiritual strength and unity. Pray for wisdom to accurately convey complex theological concepts into the local Blackfoot languages and dialects.
⚬ The team is currently consultant checking the first 100 verses of Luke and they have had to make a lot of edits. Pray they can learn from this process and improve on it as they move forward with translating the next 100+ verses.
⚬ Pray for a clean, clear re-recording of the audio translation. Pray the team can come up with a method that works well with them. 
⚬ The plan is to reprint the Book of John and make a Blackfoot Bible translation app this year. Pray for good engagement and feedback on the Scriptures as we distribute translated versions of John. Pray for a good test of the translation of the 100 verses in Luke in the Blackfoot communities.

The Bible for all Bike Ride

From July 5-18, we will cycle hundreds of km from White Rock, B.C. to Calgary, A.B. with a team of dedicated cyclists. We’re aiming to raise US $50,000. Our goal is to bring God’s Word to believers in some of the most difficult and sensitive contexts around the world.

Why it matters
Imagine if owning a Bible meant risking your safety or freedom. Imagine meeting in secret with other Christians, reading Scripture in a language you barely understood. Yet their hunger for God’s Word is unwavering. They are waiting, praying, and longing to encounter Scripture clearly—in their own language—for the very first time.
Through this ride, we’re raising funds to support sensitive Bible translation projects and place the life-changing message of Scripture into the hands of those who have never had it before.

Whether you join the team as a rider or roadie, or support the mission with prayers and donations, every bit helps. Please click here for details.

⚬ 感謝你們的禱告。求主支持翻譯團隊，讓更多的人可以聽到上帝的話語。賜給翻譯團隊的關懷、健康和力量，使他們可以繼續持守上帝託付給他們的工作。

⚬ 為推進翻譯專案的進展祈禱。願上帝賜翻譯人員、顧問和協調員智慧，也祝福他們的家人。並為當地義工參與社區工作祈禱。

2024年10月，每月祈禱會首次在曼谷舉行。最初，瓦特主任 Director Wat只是鼓勵那些對宣教有興趣（但不知從何入手）的人們舉行一個定期聚會，讓信徒們聚集在一起，為宣教事工、當地教會、曼谷市，以及上帝未得之民禱告。感謝神信實地扶持這項事工；去年10月，宣教士們慶祝祈禱會的一週年紀念。 宣教士分享他們在當地服事的經歷，並鼓勵祈禱會的成員在靈性上成長，增強信心，彼此合一。隨著祈禱會進入第二年，他們祈求「在靈性和人數上持續成長」。希望鼓勵更多人參與宣教禱告，培養未來的禱告領袖，將祈禱會擴展到曼谷的其他地區，並支持參與祈禱會分享的宣教士。

每月祈禱會是上帝的信實和持續禱告力量的見證。他們感謝每一位參與、支持並為這項事工禱告的人。願榮耀歸給上帝，攜手繼續這段旅程。請為祈禱會要找一些定期分享福音的講員祈禱，並希望更多泰國人能參加祈禱會。

感謝你們的禱告

11月2日至8日 - 三間教會派出30名青年參加Here I am for Mission活動。 感謝主保守所有相關人員的安全。

11月9日 - 每月祈禱會在Logos Hope船上舉行，活動進行順利，約有93人一起祈禱。參與者亦對該地區的聖經翻譯和識字事工有更多了解。

11月11日 - 為慶祝威克里夫世界祈禱日舉辦線上線下相結合的活動，其中包括約 20 個故事和代禱要求。

11月17日-威克里夫泰國基金會辦事處舉辦一場研討會，使一些泰國牧師認識在東南亞講藏語的人的需要，以及泰國教會如何開始為他們祈禱。讚美主！活動有25人參加。祈求更多人開始為藏族人禱告。

泰北蘭納

蘭納的翻譯團隊早前有機會為七所學校和兩個社區舉辦聖誕活動。活動在他們於清邁舉行，約有125人參加。參加者包括來自蘭納兒童俱樂部的學生和他們的父母、一些鄰居，以及學習蘭納語的成年人也應邀參加。透過是次活動，參與者都可以清楚聆聽和接受福音的信息。

讚美神！團隊到訪五間教會服事、分享事工並參與教會活動。蘭納中心的租金一直由一位教會成員支付。教會的成員邀請團隊到幾所學校授課。部分教會已開始在禮拜中使用泰北聖經。特別值得一提的是，多年來，Oi一直禱告尋求在桑甘烹學校Sankampaeng School服事。這是一所磁場很強的學校，吸引清邁各地的學生就讀。

為北泰蘭納團隊有智慧如何跟進所有撒種機會禱告。Oi說：「我不斷收到關於活動、課程和一些特別活動的邀請。聖誕節期間，蘭納團隊忙碌於舉辦活動，向數百人分享聖誕節的真諦。活動參與者認真聆聽，積極投入，其中許多人都未聽過有關聖誕節的意義。超過60名兒童在簡佈會期間表示相信耶穌。大家請為 Oi 來年已定下的時間表祈禱，並記念即將舉行的培訓，讓部分學校教師可以繼續自行教授蘭納語課程。

⚬ 讚美神！Beam 剛成為「威克里夫同工」，正努力從教會和個人籌集資金以支持他的事工。Beam一直有機會在教會服事和分享他的願景。教會正在討論如何支持他的事工。請為Beam祈禱，讓他們能夠理解他，並在禱告、經濟和鼓勵之中給予他支持。他需要在四月完結前籌集到所需資金的50%。

⚬ 為蘭納團隊祈禱。他們於三月及四月接受播客podcasts製作的培訓。

⚬ 有兩位泰國人申請做實習生，繼續在愛與相互尊重中合作。為Oi領袖的健康、力量、安全、智慧和快樂禱告。求主給Kook和Tar了解上帝將來要如何使用他們的異象，使實習的經驗帶領他們日後服事祈禱。

Eastern Lawa

The Eastern Lawa translation team held events in four Lawa villages in December 2025. Each team member held an outreach event in their own village as well as two other villages besides their own. The villages were Nafon, Ban Khun, Bor Sangae and KongLoi. A team visiting from Singapore helped with the events. Through various activities, many people heard about the birth of Jesus. Many gifts were also distributed, as well as some small scholarships to children to help pay for school costs. Praise God for these opportunities.

Praise God for the recent progress in translating 2 Peter - the first draft, team check and back translation have all been completed. Greg Blok, project facilitator, asks us to pray for the team as they work through a team check for 1 & 2 Peter. Greg says, “We are planning to get these books community tested and then consultant checked in June or July. The community test [will be done] with some people who haven't been involved in the drafting. Pray that we can get all these done by April”.

Thank you for praying for Greg and Rosie Blok as they settle back into life in New Zealand and get into a normal rhythm of work and life. Pray for Rosie as she recovers from surgery to remove two areas of cancer - one basal cell on her face and another melanoma on her abdomen. Greg shares that the surgeries went well, but Rosie still has swelling under her right eye close to where the cancer was removed.

⚬ Pray for the translation team as they move forward with the first draft of the books of 1 and 2 Corinthians.

⚬ Pray for the preparation of setting up a booth at the annual King Wilanka festival - to promote literacy.

Prayer Hour

We invite you to join us online in prayer on Tuesday, April 14. The Eastern Lawa project is our focus, and we'll enjoy an hour of worship, Scripture reading, stories from the projects, quiet prayers and group prayers.

AIDIA

In August, Pastor Lot Arahuanaza participated in workshops on safe water, organized by AIDIA. During this training, he received a single water filter to take back to his church. Upon returning to his community in Northern Pastaza, he shared what he had learned with the families. The community became aware of the importance of drinking filtered water. Today, the water is filtered every day in two shifts, morning and afternoon, starting at 4:00 a.m., with designated individuals ensuring that there is enough for everyone. Neighbors arrive with their buckets to take safe water home, both for drinking and cooking. This practice has brought positive changes to the community. Health has improved, and along with it, unity, mutual support among neighbors, and a sense of community have been strengthened.

Thank you for praying for the leaders who participated in this training and for the families who received water filters. Thank God the leaders continue to serve with the community and help the families to take care of their health.

⚬ Praise God for these completed translation tasks: the first draft - Matthew to 1 Corinthians 13; team check - Matthew to Romans; the native speaker check - Matthew to Romans; and incorporation of notes - Matthew to Romans 5.

⚬ Thank God to sustain the team of translators, so that more people can hear the Word of God. Thank God for the care, health, and strength He has given the team of translators, who continue steadfast in the work the Lord has entrusted to them.

⚬ Pray for the progress of the translation projects. May God grant wisdom to the translators, consultants, and facilitators in their work, and also bless their families. Please also pray for local volunteers to get involved in working with the communities.

(DRC)- Bali-Mba

Abaya Koko, a young participant in the Alpha class in Bandjwade (in the Mba community), thanked the team who made it possible for him to learn Mbane (the language of the Mba people); not only the Holy Scriptures but also he can read all other Mba language books.

Prayer

The people in both the Bali and Mba language communities are asking for prayer: As the DRC is plaguing in general, may God give them peace and a good working environment so that the translation work can continue. May God protect the teams’ good physical and spiritual health to continue with the work.

Mba:

⚬ The translation of Revelation 1-8 and Revelation 9-12 have also been drafted.

⚬ Four literacy classes of 44 participants were held. Praise God! The Mba team connected with 40 churches and 13 villages.

Bali:

⚬ Revelation 12-22 and Colossians 1-4 will be prepared for a consultant check.

⚬ Ephesians and 1 & 2 Peter will be added to the app. Scripture, sermons, hymns and songs will be recorded and added to the website.

⚬ A field of palm trees will be planted and maintained to support the translation work.

Wycliffe Thai Foundation

In October 2024, the first Monthly Mission Prayer Meeting was held in Bangkok. In the beginning, Director Wat challenged persons interested in missions (who were unsure where to start) to start a regular meeting for believers to come together in prayer for mission work, the local church, the city of Bangkok and God’s mission to unreached people groups. In October 2025, missionaries celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Meeting. They also share about their service to the local people and encourage spiritual growth, faith and unity among prayer group participants.

As the group moves into their second year, they pray for “continued growth—both spiritually and numerically. Their desire is to encourage deeper participation in prayer for mission, develop future prayer leaders, expand prayer groups to other corners of Bangkok and support the missionaries who come to share with the group.

The Monthly Prayer Meeting is a testimony to God’s faithfulness and the power of consistent prayer. They thank everyone who has participated, supported, and prayed for this ministry. To God be the glory as they continue the journey together. Please pray for them to find regular mission speakers who will come to share at the monthly prayer meetings. Please also pray for more Thai people to join the prayer meetings.”

Thank you for Praying:

⚬ Nov 2-8 - Three churches sent 30 youths to participate in the Here I am for Mission event. Praise God for the safety experienced by everyone involved. 

⚬ Nov 9 - The Monthly Prayer Meeting group held a prayer service on the Logos Hope ship. About 93 people joined in prayer together and the event ran smoothly. Participants also came to know more about Bible translation and literacy work in the region. 

⚬ Nov 11 - Both in person and online events were held for the Wycliffe World Day of Prayer, including about 20 stories and prayer requests.

⚬ Nov 17 - The Wycliffe Thai Foundation office ran a workshop to inform the Thai pastors about where people who speak Zang* live in Southeast Asia and how the Thai church could start praying for them. Praise the Lord that 25 people attended. Pray that many people will start praying for Zang people.

Northern Thai

The Lanna team had opportunities to hold Christmas events for seven schools and two communities. In Chiang Mai, the event was held at the house they are renting, with approximately 125 participants. These included students from the Lanna Kids Club, along with their parents. Also neighbours and adult Lanna language learners were invited. Through this event, participants were able to clearly hear and receive the message of the Gospel. Praise God!

Praise God for these encouraging updates: The team visited five churches to serve, share about the ministry, or join in church activities. One church member has been paying the rent for the Lanna Center. Members from churches have invited the team to teach in some schools. Some churches have started using the Northern Thai Bible in their services. Especially significant is the Sankampaeng School where Oi has prayed about serving for many years. This is a very large "magnetic" school that draw many students from all over Chiang Mai to attend.

Thank you for praying for wisdom about how to follow up well with all the opportunities being presented to the Northern Thai Lanna team. Praise God for Oi’s words: "I continue to get more requests for events, classes and special activities.  The team was very busy over the holidays with Lanna Christmas events where they shared the truth of Christmas to hundreds of people. Event participants were attentive and engaged and many had never heard the meaning of Christmas before. Over 60 children said they believe in Jesus during the presentations.” Pray for the schedule Oi has made for the coming year. Pray for the upcoming training of some of the school teachers to continue the Lanna classes on their own.

⚬ Praise God! Beam is now a "Wycliffe Staff Member" who is trying to raise support for his ministry - from churches and individuals. Beam is doing well and has had opportunities to serve in his church and communicate his vision. The church is in the process of deciding how to support him. Please pray they will understand and support him well in prayer, finances and encouragement. He needs to raise 50% of his support by April.

⚬ Pray for the Lanna team as they train in producing podcasts in March and April.

⚬ Pray for two more Thai people to apply for an internship and for the team to continue to work together well with love and mutual respect. Pray for Oi the leader - for health, strength, safety, wisdom and joy. Pray for Kook and Tar - that they will continue to develop a vision for how the Lord wants to use them in the future. Pray that the internship will prepare them for further service.

AIDIA

古斯托·查韋斯牧師Pastor Augusto Chávez來自索普林Soplin社區，跟南方帕斯塔薩克丘亞語Southern Pastaza Quechua​人一起積極參與聖經翻譯的審核過程。有一次，他激動地說，翻譯「做得很好，清晰又易明白」，使他充滿希望，因為看見上帝的話語終於以一個易於明白的方式接觸他的民族。

他強調這項工作不僅惠及牧師和領袖，也惠及正熱切期盼著計畫完成的整個社區。擁有本族語言的聖經帶給他們屬靈的資源，這是一個無價之寶，得以加強他們對上帝的信靠、更肯定他們信仰的身份，並為他們的社區生活帶來正面的影響。牧師滿懷感激地表示，索普林教會持續為翻譯人員和合作夥伴禱告，盼望這項工作早日完成。 「我們期待自己的語言出現在聖經當中」，他說，「因為我們確信，它可以改變生命，並帶來團結，祝福我們的子孫後代。」. — 水利計畫協調員諾埃米·羅哈斯Noemí Rojas

峇裡島-姆巴 -Mba / 剛果民主共和國(DRC)

團隊再次在《羅馬書》的校對環節中，不斷尋找與「恩典」一詞對應的詞彙。他們的翻譯顧問解釋說，有時譯者需要創造新詞，並給團隊一篇關於如何創造新詞的文章。經過多番討論，最終創造了一個新的複合詞：“heart of compassion”，非常接近他們的需求。團隊將再與當地社區聯繫，以了解他們的想法。

為峇里島翻譯團隊面對挑戰祈禱：

週邊地區越來越不安全，道路狀況非常糟糕，使出行極為危險。近期出現異常乾旱，影響了水稻收成。剛果民主共和國的經濟狀況對生活的各個方面、兒童教育和醫療保健都有負面影響。

威克里夫泰國基金會

Joey 和 Toong Pang 在2025 年 10 月進行語言調查，以及與牧師會議後，決定在烏隆他尼Udon Thani建立一個伊森Isan口述聖經翻譯中心。他們搬到當中，希望當地的Nong Sai Fellowship教會能參與翻譯計畫。

龐氏夫婦與教會已建立良好關係，並自願擔任主日學老師和協助講道。 Nong Sai Fellowship教會的牧師名叫Na。她來自泰國東北部的少數民族泰永族Thai Yong。她在韓國工作期間認識基督，後來決定返回到Nong Sai Fellowship教會牧會。當她第一次聽到Joey 和 Toong Pang 分享威克里夫接觸少數民族的異象時，她回應道：「我要讓我的教會開始為未得之民禱告，首先從伊森Isan地區的20個少數民族開始。」 從那天起，Nong Sai 教會每個星期天都為這些少數民族禱告。現在，Nong Sai Fellowship教會是伊森Isan口述聖經翻譯計畫的一部分，由Toong Pang 和 Joey負責處理，並支持人們參與回譯和社區核查的工作。

泰北蘭納 Thai Lanna

實習生Tar反思說，「我學習了很多東西，每項活動都非常有用。其中一個難忘的活動是有機會在Pa Pao社區蘭納兒童俱樂部教導孩子們蘭納語讀寫。他們第一次認識我的時候有點害羞，不敢表達自己。經過多次學習，我感覺到蘭納語團隊和孩子之間越來越親密。隨著時間過去，我看見孩子的行為逐漸變好。孩子有勇氣表達自己，在各種活動中合作，讓我感到被鼓勵。孩子們的家長也很合作，歡喜地接送孩子。兒童俱樂部暑期課程結束後，蘭納團隊組織了一次交流活動，讓蘭納團隊成員、孩子和家長之間有機會彼此認識，建立更緊密的聯繫。我希望新的蘭納中心能夠成為一個祝福，帶領更多人認識上帝的故事，跟隨耶穌基督。」- 實習生Tar

感謝主！有200名多學生參加在最近的蘭納文化活動中使用泰北聖經，當中有100名多學生領取約翰福音。另外，該團隊與來自七個國家的參與者參加一個民族藝術工作坊，他們一起製作優質的教學材料，用於課堂教學和俱樂部動。團隊選材著重挑選容易理解的聖經經文，又教導舊約從創世記到摩西帶領紅海的故事。學生們都興致勃勃地複述這些故事。感謝主為團隊打開了一扇門，讓他們能夠將工作場所搬到靠近他們服務學校社區的一棟房子裡，與當地社區建立良好關係。

計畫負責人 Oi 希望藉著Prai 幼兒園教師舉辦的教師培訓研討會上培訓其他人。他們計劃在新落成的蘭納中心開設為期三天的成人密集課程。此外，JaJa的實習即將結束。她正向主禱告尋求清晰指引，幫助她決定實習結束後的去向。

Eastern Lawa

A university professor from Chiang Mai contacted our team asking about the work they have done with developing the Lawa language. He then helped to organize our team getting into three different schools and running Saturday taster classes for students who were interested in learning how to read their own language. This has led to another opening in a school where our team will go in each week and teach Lawa literacy and kids will be able to choose that subject. Praise God for the way He opens doors.

Literacy: YouTube videos for the literacy lessons have been recorded and are in post production. Upon completion of the post production, they will be uploaded to the YouTube channel. Continue to promote literacy to schools and offer to teach kids in different grades, as well as run an adult literacy class.

Scripture Engagement: A few more Lawa worship songs were recorded.

● Please pray for the Lawa team's teaching at a new school, Wang Kong School on Wednesdays.

●Thank you for praying for Greg and Rosie and their transition back to living in New Zealand. Praise God they found a car and a rented house to live in. Praise God they are reconnecting with their kids and family. Continue to pray for the Bloks as they settle and get back into a normal rhythm of work and life, while at the same time, Greg stays connected with the project, consulting for the Bible translation activities going forward.

AIDIA

Pastor Augusto Chávez, from the community of Soplin, actively participated in the Bible translation review process alongside native speakers of Southern Pastaza Quechua. He emotionally expressed that the translation "is well done, understandable, and clear," which fills him with hope, as now the Word of God can reach his people in a more comprehensible way.

He emphasized that this effort benefits not only pastors and leaders, but also the entire community, which eagerly awaits the completion of the project. For Having the Bible in their own language is not only a spiritual resource, but also an invaluable treasure that strengthens their faith, identity, and community life.

With gratitude, the pastor affirmed that the church in Soplin prays constantly for the translators and collaborators, so that the work may be completed soon. "We are waiting for the Word in our language," he said, "because we know that it will transform lives, bring unity, and bless our families for generations." - Noemí Rojas, water project facilitator.

● The team reviewed Romans 1-8. The review of Acts 8-28 with the native speaker was completed. Moving forward with the first draft of the book of 1 and 2 Corinthians.

● Consultant Felix approved all the notes for the book of John.

● Facilitator Yuliño has been monitoring the team and providing support in areas necessary for their progress.

● Thank you for praying for the Lord to grant health, wisdom, and strength to the team of translators, in every stage of the translation work. Thank God for His care and provision for the team of translators. Pray that He would continue to strengthen their lives and grant them wisdom to move forward in the translation work.

● Thank you for praying for the translators' families, that they may be an emotional and spiritual support, knowing that they are an important part of a work that will transform lives. Praise God for His protection over the translators' families. Pray that God will always guide them and give them encouragement and unity.

DRC - Bali / Mba

During the checking session of Romans, the team struggled to find an appropriate translated word for “grace”. Their translation consultant explained that sometimes translators need to invent new words and gave them an article about ways to do that. After serval discussions, they decided that a new compound word, “heart of compassion” was very close to what they needed. The team will be following up with the community to find out what they think.

Pray for the challenges faced by the team:

The surrounding area is becoming increasingly unsafe and the roads are in very bad shape. This makes travel extremely dangerous. There has been an unusual period of drought which has affected the paddy crop. The economy of DRC is negatively impacting all aspects of life, children's schooling and medical care.

● Consultant-checked Romans 5-16. Completed a third consultant check on 1,2,3 John.

● Added Acts and John to the app

● Recorded a hymn, a sermon and two songs.

● May God be with the translation team throughout this year so that there may be success. Grant them longevity, wisdom and good health to thrive in the ministry of Bible translation.

● Brother Bayasana Athanase, literacy teacher, he stays in the hospital for treatment, may God heal him.

● Pray for motorbikes for the staff of the translation team since this will also help in the vision-sharing activities and community checking with Bali speakers.

● May God guide the Bali team's journey for the consultant checking and the team’s safe return.

● Thank God for the success of Two Scripture Engagement workshops (Trauma Healing & Gospel and Culture).

Wycliffe Thai Foundation

Joey and Toong Pang decided to establish an Isan Oral Bible Translation Centre in Udon Thani after the language survey and pastors meeting in October 2025. They moved there with the idea of engaging the local Nong Sai Fellowship church to be part of the translation project.

The Pangs built up the relationship and volunteered to teach Sunday school, as well as help with preaching. The pastor at Nong Sai Fellowship Church is named Na. She is from Thai Yong, a minority group in the northeast. She met Christ when she went to work in South Korea and then decided to come back and pastor the Nong Sai Fellowship church. When she first heard Joey and Toong Pang share about Wycliffe’s vision of reaching the minority people, she responded, “I will let my church start praying for the unreached people groups, starting with the 20 minority groups in Isan region.” From that day on, Nong Sai Church prays every Sunday for the minority groups. Now Nong Sai Fellowship Church is part of the Isan Oral Bible Translation, taking care of Toong Pang and Joey, and supporting people to help in back translation and community check.

● The Bangkok monthly prayer meeting has been faithfully happening for a year now! Pray for the team as they hope to expand the prayer groups in Bangkok.

● Thai Christian Youth for Mission (TCYM) meets every Friday to pray for the unreached people groups. Every quarter the group invites a speaker to share with them.

● Thank you for praying for the opening of the Isan Oral Bible Translation office in September. Praise God that representative pastors and missionaries in Udon Thani attended the celebration, along with Director Wat and the Oral Bible Translation team.

● After more than 14 years of faithful service, Director Wat has informed the Wycliffe Thai board that he plans to step down from his position in March 2027. As a result, Wycliffe Thai Foundation will soon begin the process of identifying a new director to replace Wat.

The Intern Tar reflects, “I have been learning a variety of things. Each activity is very useful. One memorable activity was the opportunity to teach reading and writing Lanna to students in the Pa Pao community Lanna Kids Club. When I first had the opportunity to teach the children, they were a bit shy and didn't dare to express themselves. After studying together many times, I felt a growing closeness between the Lanna team and the children. Over time, I saw the children's behavior change have improved. The children's courage to express themselves and cooperate in various activities are encouraging.”

“The parents of the children also cooperate, welcoming and dropping off their children with open arms. After completing the Kids Club summer session, the Lanna Team organized a networking activity between the Lanna team, the children, and their parents, giving them the opportunity to get to know each other and build stronger relationships… I hope the new Lanna Center will be a blessing and bring many people to know God's story [and follow] Jesus Christ.” - Intern Tar

● Praise God! Over 200 students have participated in Lanna events where the Northern Thai Bible is used. Well over 100 students have taken copies of the book of John at Lanna events. The team joined an Ethno-Arts workshop with participants from seven countries. They produced good materials for use in teaching during the classes and club meetings. They choose Bible verses that are easy for the students to understand. Recently they taught Old Testament stories from Creation to the story of Moses and the Red Sea. The students are excited to retell the stories.

● God opened the door for the team to move their workplace to a house in the community, close to the schools they serve. They are building great relationships with the community there.

● Project leader, Oi, hopes to help train others during a Teacher Training workshop for Prai preschool teachers.

● The team plans to teach an intensive three-day adult class at the new Lanna Center for community members.

北部帕斯塔薩蓋丘亞語Northern Pastaza Quechua：

翻譯團隊在每週日都和家人一起探訪當地弟兄姊妹居住和敬拜的地區。這次，他們帶著馬太福音和馬可福音的經文。參加週日敬拜聚會的人來自各個年齡層。課程結束後，他們都與會眾深入交流。翻譯團隊聽見參加者覺得經文淺顯易明都很欣喜。其中，阿拉瓦納札弟兄讀過馬可福音13章8節後 —「這一切只是苦難的開始」，他向翻譯團隊表示能夠深刻感受並理解經文的意思。會眾都渴望多些練習用自己的語言誦讀聖經。

感謝主！團隊已完成《約翰福音》一至二十一章及《使徒行傳》一至五章的檢查。與母語人士合作修訂《約翰福音》1-21章的工作亦已經完成。顧問Felix在《路加福音》加入305條註釋，這些註解已全部獲得顧問的通過和批准。有賴他有精通的語言能力，能夠與團隊直接對話，澄清疑慮，從而加快了整個審批流程。

為團隊和母語人士繼續審核《使徒行傳》祈禱，並求主繼續記念《羅馬書》起草初稿。

南部帕斯塔薩：

從馬太福音到羅馬書的註釋和初稿已完成。團隊對《約翰福音》和《使徒行傳》的覆核已完成；其中母語人士已完成《約翰福音》的修訂工作，而《使徒行傳》一至七章的修訂工作亦已經完成。《路加福音》已得到顧問通過審核，並已將《約翰福音》加入註解。

DRC 峇裡島 / 姆巴 Bali-Mba

最近，有兩位來自基桑加尼大學的學生探訪翻譯員維姬·博尤Vicky Boyu。讚美神！他們有興趣知道有關保護峇里島姆巴族語言和生活的工作，顯示當地社區將翻譯活動視為可靠的研究資料。

為峇里島翻譯團隊面對挑戰祈禱：

團隊的目標期望透過禱告和財政的支持，激勵當地教會監督和支持項目運作。目前，監督工作進展順利，但資金支持不足。請為當地教會給予各方面的支持祈禱

為姆巴族祈禱：

求主帶領籌備《使徒行傳》的奉獻儀式工作順利。求主記念團隊能夠舉辦創傷治療工作坊。請為身患重病的翻譯員Vicky早日康復熱切祈禱。此外，牧師Rev. Bendera最近遇上一場可怕的事故。感謝主他四個小時後恢復了意識，懇求上帝幫助他盡快康復。

威克里夫泰國基金會

最近，Friend Church 邀請威克里夫泰國基金會舉辦威克里夫咖啡館活動。活動結束後，一位牧師的妻子向擺設攤位的夫婦傳福音，他們告訴牧師的妻子：「我們是從聖經翻譯項目中聽到福音的。我們希望信主，但村里人說，如果我們信了，他們就不會允許我們把家人葬在公墓裡，也不會允許我們使用公墓基金，還會把我們趕出村子。」請為消除東部拉瓦人傳播福音的這些障礙祈禱。亦為活動後的跟進有良好溝通祈禱。記念地方教會將繼續被動員起來，讓所有教派都支持威克里夫泰國基金會事工。

讚美神為促進威克里夫泰國基金會與泰國基督教會第25分會之間的合作關係，5月5日，瓦特主任參加了一個教會典禮，並有機會與分會主席交談。主席很熱衷於了解威克里夫泰國基金會的事工，並樂於進一步探討分會如何支持這項事工。

原住民倡議計劃

讚美神！九月的翻譯工作坊共有來自加拿大各地的19位原住民語言使用者、翻譯人員和培訓師參加！出席的語言社群包括納斯卡皮語、黑腳語、阿尼希尼尼莫溫語（奧吉-克里語）和誇誇拉語。工作坊的工作人員來自為加拿大語言學院 (Canada Institute of Linguistics, CanIL)、OneBook、加拿大威克里夫聖經公會、國際語言協會（SIL）和加拿大聖經公會。

翻譯顧問愛麗絲·里德Alice Reed分享了黑腳族翻譯家弗洛拉Blackfoot translator Flora: 的一句話：「為造福我們的新一代，聖經要屬於我們，能夠以我們的語言寫成。他們當中有許多人已經失去自己的語言，就讓我們以最好的方式把它帶回來。」

加拿大語言學院教授拉里·林Larry Hayashi表示：「卑斯省許多原住民社區的人都開始對聖經翻譯產生興趣。」計劃協調員湯姆·斯科特Tom Scott說：「在工作坊中最令人鼓舞的事情之一，就是見證上帝如何在加拿大各地的原住民社區繼續動工。 雖然我承認這肯定不是每個社區的年輕人都一樣，但令人興奮的是，在語言幾乎失傳的一代人之後，今天的年輕人渴望自己的語言得以復興。而且在科技方面，他們又已經充分裝備利用新推出的科技工具，幫助加強原住民語言的復興，讓他們可以閱讀自己語言的聖經。 」

「我所禱告的，就是要你們的愛心，在知識和各樣見識上多而又多。 」腓立比書1章9節

泰北蘭納 Northern Thai (Lanna)

團隊最近在Suriyachaiporn Church組織了一場活動。一位在當地中學任教的教會成員邀請Oi在該校主持每週一次的蘭納兒童俱樂部Lanna Kid’s Club。這所學校是該地區的重點學校，儘管團隊在另外兩所學校進行教學活動，Oi覺得她必須抓住這個機遇。這個俱樂部由學生自行參加，不需由老師決定。讚美神！有 22 位學生選擇參加。

感謝您的祈禱：

● 讚美神祂為團隊打開了許多服事的機會之門。請祈禱獲得智慧，知道哪些門應該敞開，哪些門應該關閉。

● 為團隊的活力和健康祈禱。願他們用神的真理，在所有接觸到的孩子和成人的生命中結出果實。

● 讚美神團隊在社區租了一棟小房子接待他們服務的學生。這棟房子將作為中心，設有辦公室、活動場地、教室和課外活動場所。為如何正確使用這座建築提供明確的指導祈禱。該團隊在 Sankampaeng Khanta Anusorn 學校為 34 名四年級學生、Rong Wua Daeng 學校為 40 名三至六年級學生，並在Sankampaeng 中學為 20 名七年級學生開設蘭納語課程。祈禱實習生將繼續利用 Facebook、應用程式和線下活動來推廣讀寫能力，並且取得良好成效。

喬納斯Jonas 對翻譯團隊的反思 - 今年，很榮幸可以重新加入翻譯團隊，我只有一個心願：就是繼續透過這項事工服事神。對我來說，這不僅是一份工作，更是一份深刻的呼召，讓我有機會用自己的語言，在身處的地區帶領更多家庭認識上帝的話語。

● 祈禱記念各項翻譯工作的進展：包括繼續《哥林多前書》草擬初稿，團隊繼續審核《羅馬書》，《使徒行傳》需要母語人士繼續核對，並需繼續為《使徒行傳》納入註釋的工作。

威克理夫泰國基金會

皮克(Pik) 是個年輕人，他於2023年第一次參加Here I am for Mission (HiM)青年營；當中深受宣教理念的感動。那次參加營會回家後，他與教會分享在營會時，這個宣教理念在心中萌芽。他第二次參加HiM營會的時候，便加入泰國基督教青年傳教團（TCYM）團隊。

威克里夫泰國基金會同工團隊參加HiM青年營後，有一個為泰國南部年輕人推行宣教運動的願景。他們與團隊交談後，被邀請於十一月開展營會。

為泰國牧師定於11月17日舉辦的工作坊祈禱，希望提高群體對壯侗語(Tai Kadai language)使用者的認識。記念主辦工作坊有美好的合作，讓牧師能夠參與，給他們留意壯侗語族群的機會。

原住民翻譯工作坊

2024年11月14日（星期四），有九個真盼望教會會友參與由11月11日至16日，在貴湖聖經會議舉行的原住民翻譯工作坊。 

加拿大威克理夫聖經翻譯會和其他夥伴組織，例如美國威克理夫聖經翻譯會、加拿大聖經協會、北美語言研究所，為五個克利族群開展翻譯運動。由去年開始，有更多語言組織加入這個運動；包括去年已參加工作坊，位於伯塔省南部southern Alberta (Canada and Montana, US)的黑腳民族語言群體 (Blackfoot Language Community) ，和位於溫哥華島及卑斯省北部(Vancouver Island and \North of BC area)的誇誇嘉夸族(Kwak'wala)。而新加入的的就有代表Cape Mudge/Campbell River他們的五個族群的Todd 和 Stuart Niknakim ，並代表蓋恩納族(Kainah)的Marlene Bibl Sorrle Horse 和 Sylvia Tailfeathers，此外，黑腳民族社區之中兩個西格西卡族亦代表黑腳民族語言參與這個運動 。

誇誇嘉夸族

活動中，一位參加者女執事Seo Hyun Park分享一位由Cape Mudge而來Todd弟兄的故事。有一天，本身操英語的Todd弟兄，他發現一些複雜而微妙的情緒不能用英語清晰表達，但用誇誇嘉夸族(Kwak'wala)語言就能夠生動地表達當中精緻的細節。於是，他就決定在專業人士的幫助底下去學習這種語言。他的哥哥分享，他們的媽媽死前曾經提過，毎個人都需要有自己語言的聖經，而這個願望終於有機會通過他們實現。Todd弟兄又分享他們家一個小小的歷史片段：他們的祖父Allen (Ollie) Chickite是一位成功的漁民，每天在Campbell River 與 Quadra Island之間的夏洛特王后海峽(Queen Charlotte Strait)之中穿梭，而他的船隻BCP45就是那印在1972至86年通用的五元鈔幣當中的船隻。另外，Todd弟兄表示感激這個工作坊令他獲益良多，而這些資訊是不能透過網上學習能夠分辨和白的。

聖經分享並為原住民社區祈禱

Albert Yi長老致力於原住民事務二十餘年，他分享說：因為忙於生活，他也曾經忘記年輕時的承諾；但是與原住民見面後，他肯定地承諾參與分享和關懷他們的工作。透過與他所服侍的原住民團契交流，他很欣賞原住民如何美好地看待上帝受造物的態度。他又補充，韓國人曾經在日本帝國主義之下，瀕臨失去他們的土地、語言和文化的經歷，令他們覺得自己也像原住民一樣。最後，他祝福所有原住民、不只是工作坊之中的代表；正如啟示錄七章九至十節說：他們將得以用自己的語言和文化一起敬拜上帝。Albert Yi說，在上次的早晨會議裡面其中一位原住民翻譯人員問他翻譯聖經的原因，他的答案就正好與啟示錄這篇信息一致：願各人得以用自己的民族身分來敬拜上帝。

最後，真盼望教會與原住民的工作者和他們所代表的各語言社區互相問候祝福，一起唱一首祝福的詩歌（一首韓國很受歡迎的當代基督教歌曲 “You are Created to Receive the Greatest Love” )。加拿大威克理夫華人事工總幹事，李揆濬牧師在工作坊要求各組別將這個歌名翻譯成他們的語言，使他們用自己的語言說出這個歌名。在祈禱的時間，我們為原住民社區的精神和心理健康祈禱，因為翻譯事工是一個非常漫長的過程，祈禱記念他們不會放棄自己的熱情，繼續為翻譯事工服務。而因應納斯卡皮社區(Naskapi )之中Ruby的要求，也特別為原住民青年酗酒和吸毒問題祈禱。
