Driggers Days

Partnering with Wycliffe and You November 2011

Waiting
Begitu besar kasih Allah kepada dunia ini sehingga Allah telah memberikan Anak-Nya yang tunggal, supaya setiap orang yang percaya kepada-Nya tidak binasa, melainkan menerima hidup yang kekal. Yohanes 3:16 Indonesian NT Those words speak truth. Perfect truth. However they do not impact even Sara who spent more than seven years of her life speaking this language. These words are not in our heart language. What about these words: . What words? More than 340 million people (the approximate combined population of the U.S.A. and the U.K.) are still waiting on the written Word in their heart languages. Could you imagine never reading the eternal truth of the Gospel? Its hard to grasp, perhaps because there are more than 500 translations available in English, our heart language. About 350 Momu Baibai people live in three small villages of the Sandaun Province in Papua New Guinea. They are isolated by a two-day hike through the mountains and swampland. They have no Scripture in their language, but they say, We need Gods Word in our language so that we can understand it. Please pray for the Momu Baibai as they wait, and for our family while we wait on Gods perfect timing for the completion of our partnership team. Please hold tight this truth while you pray, The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 NIV Please join with us through praying and giving so that together we can reach the last languages with the promise from John 3:16 that God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV) Our family never tires of expressing our gratitude to each of you. In heaven we will meet many dear people who have come to Christ partly because of our partnership in helping get the Word to them. Thank you for caring so much and showing it so beautifully. We love you,

Marty, Sara, Taylor, Tia, Miriam and Jade

Praise Prayer

Praise the Lord for our visas! Praise the Lord for 42.7% of our monthly budget. This is an amazing answer to prayer because our budget was just impacted by a 14% increase for PNG due to the falling value of the U. S. dollar overseas. Praise the Lord for the safe arrival of a third Kodiak airplane in Ukarumpa, PNG! Pray for the Momu Baibai people who wait for a translation team to begin work in their language. Pray for the sale of our home. Pray for increased committed responses to complete our partnership team. Pray for advocates that are willing to share about our ministry on our behalf. (This could be YOU! Ask us if you would like to learn more about how you could help us in this way.)

Life in transition is difficult for each of us, but Gods timing is perfect and His provisions are personal. We would like to share with you how the Lord is working in each of our lives.
God has taught me it is okay to be still. -Marty This world is not my home. God is teaching me to have a heaven mindset. -Sara Even though I feel like I am ready to leave I trust Gods timing for why we are still here. -Taylor During the past two months of living with my daddys parents I have become closer to them. -Tia Our partners are becoming our family! -Miriam I am excited to move to Papua New Guinea! -Jade
