Tai Dam Quick Facts:
-Population of 1 Million
-Religion of animism and ancestor worship
-Settled agriculturists who cultivate wet rice
-Less than 0.1% are Christian
- Thank the Lord for His provision of the staff serving on the Tai Dam translation team. Please pray for His physical and spiritual protection over each team member and his family. Pray that the team will be able to understand the meaning of each Bible passage and how to translate the passage clearly into Tai Dam.
- Seven New Testament books are still waiting to be translated: 2 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, Hebrews, 1-2 Peter, Jude and Revelation. We expect to begin work on 2 Peter next week. Ask the Lord to enable us to translate each of these books well, and also to finish work on others still in the process of being checked and revised.
- Pray that God will open doors for His Word to reach the Tai Dam people who need it most in their own language. Ask Him to raise up godly, Spirit-empowered Tai Dam teachers who will use the Tai Dam Scriptures to teach their people.
