Several Recruits We Have Helped Along The Way!
March 2012
Bible Translation Work Advances As Recruitment Work Continues! For many years, we have had many people and churches support our work with Wycliffe. This year marks our 27th year with Wycliffe and your support of our work continues to bearing fruit. Here is a list of upcoming Bible dedications in Papua New Guinea (PNG) this year:
March 25 - Madak Revised New Testament with Psalms (Bob & Carolyn Lee), New Ireland Province
April 18 - Maiwa New Testament (Takashi & Yaeko Nakamura), Milne Bay Province
July 7 - Bariai New Testament with Genesis and Exodus (Steve & Carol Jean Gallagher), West New Britain Province

Alan and Carol – Headed to PNG as Regional Center Managers
Chuck’s role now involves recruiting administrators and managers for our work worldwide. The Lord has blessed this work and in the past six month’s he has seen 16 of his recruits apply to Wycliffe! Several people Chuck worked with this past year are headed to PNG to take up work as regional center managers, security manager, shipping manager, store manager and he is working with several other people who may head to PNG as a Chief Financial Officer, Aviation Assistant Manager and Aviation Flight Coordinator. Pray that these people will apply! In all, there are over 300 open positions in PNG to keep the growing work moving ahead. In addition, we need to recruit almost that many more Bible translators for PNG alone! Pray for more workers not only in PNG, but around the world. Worldwide we need to fill 2,700 open positions in almost every type of job imaginable. Is God calling you? What skill do you have that can be used in Bible translation work? Contact us for more information. Michael & Jeni – Headed to PNG as Shipping Manager
Our Family at the Christmas Markets Colmar, France
John Calvin’s Church – Saint Peter’s Cathedral Geneva, Switzerland
Our Trip to Germany We thank the Lord for a generous gift from a supporter who helped us get to Germany by sharing her frequent flyer points with us. We were able to spend several weeks over the Christmas holidays visiting with our two adult children and their spouses, plus spend time with our three grandchildren! They live in Kandern, Germany and serve with our organization there. We went sledding with the family, visited the place where they make Cuckoo Clocks and spent time at the Christmas markets in Germany and France. We also took a special trip to Geneva, Switzerland, to see where the Reformation began there. Now we are back in Florida doing our recruitment work and helping set up GET Global short term trips. A special word of thanks to everyone who supports our work with Wycliffe through your gifts and prayers! FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT
