Cover of the booklet, "Jesus is Lord" Spread of 2 pages showing Luke 15:11-13
I just wrote the following update for the missions moment at our home church and I wanted to share it with all of you. It includes praise items and prayer requests:
1. We praise God that the
first Scripture portion ever in a Roma (Gypsy) dialect spoken by about 3,000
people in southern Hungary has been completed. It contains 5 passages of
Scripture from the Gospel of Luke. Above are two pictures of this 36-page
booklet, showing the front cover, as well as two pages which have the
Scriptures in Hungarian Munteon Bayash on the left (a Gypsy dialect) and the
same Scriptures in the Hungarian language on the right. This is to encourage
its use by those who speak both languages and to encourage these Roma to begin
reading in their Roma dialect.
a. Praise God with us that this translation project is completed.
b. Pray that it will soon be printed and distributed in the
villages (500 copies)
c. Pray for the Lord to use it to open the eyes of these Roma to
the Gospel and draw the people to Himself.
