Recently 4 people working on the Khmu Bible translation met for a week in a little town in the hills of northern Thailand. They worked on doing team revisions of the Khmu translation of Luke.

It was a refreshing time. They were able to work in a place away from prying eyes, a place with cooler breezes and with quietness – the only sound coming from the crickets - and to be away from the normal responsibilities and distractions of daily life – like email access and the phone. They came away refreshed and encouraged by the progress they were able to make.
