The Problem of a { instead of a [
Why wouldn't Job 42 typeset in the way it was formatted? Finally, after many attempts ending in failure we finally found the reason - who would believe that one little { instead of a [ at chapter 37:15 would mean the last 5 chapters of Job didn't typeset properly!

• Please pray that we will be alert to flaws in formatting. We need accuracy in four areas

1) the meaning of the text itself 2) in spelling 3) the codes required for the text to pass through the change tables to produce 4 scripts and 4) the codes for typesetting so it will all come out looking like a Bible!

Both GF and I have been really struggling to keep going over these last few weeks. No, we don't intend to give up but some days - when the checking and correcting seems never ending, we wonder how much longer it can possibly take.  Variations in each of the four scripts, especially with Bible names, have been very time consuming as we try to evaluate and deal with them.  We know we are not yet at the stage where we can say that the Bible is now ready to be printed. It isn't. Final proof reading needs to be done after all these other things are sorted out. Checker's comments on half of Psalms and all of the Minor Prophets still need to be completed.

• Please pray for patience, endurance and joy as we work toward completing the Mien Bible. How thankful we are for your prayers.

         
Mien Songs
With the assistance of five volunteer musicians from overseas coming at different times, nearly 460 songs from the new revised Mien hymnal have been recorded.  This leaves just 80 more to be recorded. 

• Please pray that we shall be able to complete this.
