Croatia summer outreach, #1

Thank you for praying for us. As you may know from the previous post, we were delayed for two days getting to Croatia. Just today, our luggage finally arrived, another three days late (for a total of five days late).

Greetings from Kenya!

Swahili for “Welcome to Kenya” Bible translation requires many hands on deck. Our organization’s goal of seeing the Bible translated into 1,000 languages by 2050 means there is a lot of work to do.
