Mien Couple leaving home and country to be Christian Cross Cultural Workers
•Pray for NK and his wife K as they move with their two small sons to  begin a new language in preparation for ministry.

Bible Translation
•During this past week at the Bible Society computer center we were able to focus on some of the remaining typesetting problems for all four scripts. Several problems still remain and will likely require the skill of the person who set the programs up originally.  Please pray this specialist will be able to find the time to give the assistance needed.

• Checker's copies of Jeremiah and Hosea are coming in so we will begin checking these books this week.  For about 2 years we have been suggesting that if people had comments on the Pentateuch and New Testament they should send them in.  We will now need to check and revise these books as necessary.  Please continue to pray that we will have patience and wisdom to prepare the final drafts so that they are accurate, readable and can be clearly understood.

Cross-Border Outreach
• Praise the Lord WK's health is improving and he is back to a full schedule.  Frequent teaching sessions for Mien and another minority group have stopped for this last couple of months because it is planting time.  Please pray as sessions will no doubt begin again soon.  Many are new believers, others leaders of churches.  In the meantime WK and FH continue on with translating Thai teaching materials into Mien and preparing a handbook for leaders.

•Pray for Mien being persecuted for the sake of the gospel.  The situation is very difficult in two villages especially.

Youth and Children's Ministry and Church Planting at P
•It is strange that no kids are coming to Sunday School though several come to play during the week.. But praise God that the adults are faithful in coming for service.  Pray for hunger to know the Lord through reading His Word daily.  Do pray for Mr. F who is drinking every evening and saying all kinds of things against his wife and the church.

•Praise God for the two Mien students who take turns to come and assist in the ministry during the weekends.  Pray for their studies.

•On the site of the Center the Mien builder and team are almost finished with the fence. Pray for the Lord to lead us to a good builder to put up the building structure for the 1 st building. Pray for the needs of funds to complete the 1 st building.
