Dan and Lucia appreciate your faithful prayers for them, their ministries, and for the other Bible translation work in the country to which God called them over 30 years ago. They helped the Minyankan people to create a written language, constructed a dictionary of terms, and then translated the New Testament into their newly acquired written language. They have conducted literacy programs to teach the Minyankans to be able to read their language. They have completed the translations for much of the Old Testament books.
Check out their work at MAMARA.org. It contains literacy materials, Bible stories, and audio of the New Testament. Praise for the continued translation work on Psalms, Daniel, and Isaiah.
