About two months ago we were contacted by Bob Van Zyl from SIL International.\u00a0 Bob is the regional director for the Americas working with the Deaf and helping them create videos of Bible stories and also a video translation of the Bible.\u00a0 Recently, he and John Jaider, a deaf Colombian man wh<\/span>o heads up the translation team for Colombia came and visited with us.<\/span><\/p>\n

We had many great conversations with them about the huge task of translating portions of Scripture into Guatemalan Sign Language.\u00a0 Greg enjoyed talking with Bob about the intricacies of doing such a translation project.\u00a0 Gustavo and Jonathan had the opportunity to show them some of our sign videos and John was able to give them some advice on how to make our videos better.\u00a0 We were sad to see them go.\u00a0 Thank you again Bob and John for coming and\u00a0sharing.\u00a0 We will start doing videos of Bible stories in the near future.<\/span>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\u00a0 This is an important project and needs a lot of prayer support.\u00a0 These videos have the potential of teaching many deaf people about Jesus and their need for a Savior.\u00a0 Please pray.<\/span><\/p>\n

A big THANK YOU to JPL for donating laptops for use not only by our staff but also in our classrooms.\u00a0 Many THANKS to Michael Kimes for helping us through the process with JPL.\u00a0 Pictured here is Jonathan teaching a typing class to his students.\u00a0 Ingrid and Sara are using the computers in their classrooms as well.\u00a0 The students were excited and the parents just watched and smiled.\u00a0 Many of the parents cannot read or write.\u00a0 What an encouragement to them to see their deaf children learning something they never were able to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Praise the Lord the van’s transmission has been repaired and serviced and is working like new.\u00a0 The cost was a fraction of what it could have been.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

Please pray for rain here in Guatemala.\u00a0 There is a drought going on and many people have already lost their crops.\u00a0 This will be a difficult thing for them.\u00a0 They need a miracle.<\/span>

The teachers of Escucha Mis Manos have organized a field trip to the zoo in the city this Thursday.\u00a0 They raised all the funds and Twin Peaks Community Church donated money for school uniforms which will make it much easier to identify our students at the zoo.\u00a0 Thank you TPCC!\u00a0 Please pray for safety getting to and from the city and also at the zoo.<\/span>

As always, please don’t stop praying for us, the ministry and the people we serve.\u00a0 Thank you for your financial support as well.\u00a0 May the Lord bless you all richly.<\/span>

In His service,<\/span>
