BIBLE TRANSLATION: The remaining task.

There are still several thousand language groups that have no Bible translation at all. Please pray that God will provide personnel, especially from within these language groups, to translate God's Word for them.

- from a worker in the USA.

PTAP: Praying all sorts of prayers for all saints.

A Christian worker recently shared or "preached" to a Bible recipient and five on-lookers. Pray that the truth shared during this time would burn in the hearts of those who heard it. Pray that the truth they have heard would cause them to hunger for more.

Norma has recently lost her daughter and is burdened with sadness. Pray that she would find comfort in God's Word and that a Christian worker would have the opportunity to lead her to the Lord.

Praise the Lord that Christian women have had increased opportunities to meet and share with Muslim women. Pray that Lord would prepare the hearts of these Muslim women for all He would have the Christian workers to share with them.

Pray for Viv to be open to the gospel and have a desire to know Jesus. Pray that the Christian worker ministering to her would have an opportunity to lead her to the Lord.

Several Christian workers will leave in the summer. Pray that God would send more workers into His Harvest.

Last year, many local believers suffered heavy brutal persecution. These believers need continual prayer. Please lift them up daily. Pray that God would restore them fully from the trauma they suffered.

Thank you for praying for the Light to shine in this land.

Q&A: Guilt by association? Nope.

Q. What is Dr. Dobson's connection to Jack Abramoff?

A. There is no connection. Dr. Dobson has never met Mr. Abramoff and, in fact, has never even spoken to him.

=====
There is a popular method of insulting people needlessly: person x is friends with person z. Person z is a bad person. Therefore, do not trust anything that Person x says.

As you can see from the example above: Dr. Dobson denies any association with Mr. Abramoff.

Some folks tried this same method with Jesus:

A. Jesus spent time with people who were sinners. (True - we all are.)
B. Jesus is therefore a sinner. (False.)

The ironic thing is that if we deny that we have any sinful actions ... then we deny that Jesus is willing to have anything to do with us.

Here is a better syllogism.

A. Jesus spends time with sinners who acknowledge their guilt. (True.)
B. We are all sinners & have each gone our own way. (True.)
=> We are made holy by spending time with Jesus in honesty. (True.)
