We have a lot to be thankful for. Rejoice with us and thank God for these blessings:

1. In the Gurbet language, we finished the quality assurance consultant check in 2 Samuel and are now starting 1 Kings.

2. In the Macedonian Arli language, we finished Revelation and are now starting Galatians.

3. In the Bayash language, we are making headway in the Gospel of Mark. Please pray for us that our translations into these languages (Gurbet, Macedonian Arli, and Bayash) will be accurate, clear, natural, acceptable, and will match the literary style of the original.

4. I (Todd) had a colonoscopy, and everything came back clear. (I am high risk since my father died from colon cancer, so I need to be tested regularly.)

5. Daniel has 60% of the financial support he needs to go to Slovenia in September to help build a building for a church camp there. (If you would like to donate to help send him, you can do so at this link: https://fbctn.gomethod.app/!/58270/slovenia-trip-2026/participants/612827/donate). Much appreciated!

6. Matthew was able to visit us from Atlanta for a week. While he was here, we enjoyed some fun time together at a local waterpark.

7. We will be going to California to visit Jonathan for a week. This is our first time seeing his house there!

8. Ariela got to go to two Bible camps this summer, and a campout with her American Heritage Girls troop, where they also got to tour Watkins Woolen Mill. She turned 15 and enjoyed birthday celebrations, and is looking forward to working on her driver’s permit.

9. After significant car issues, Kirsten was able to get a new-to-her car in much better shape.

10. As part of my role in training others in our region to become Bible translation consultants, I will begin supervising quality assurance/consultant checks for a trainee in three more languages: Serbian Arli and Chergash for 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings, and Montenegrin in Mark and Matthew. Please pray for much wisdom from the Lord and for the time, energy, stamina, and concentration needed to take on these tasks, and most of all that I will be a great blessing to the brother I am supervising and help him grow in his role as a Bible translation consultant. He is a delight to work with! Also, please pray for us that our translations into these languages (Arli, Chergash, and Montenegrin) will also be accurate, clear, and natural.

Thanks for praising and praying with us. Enjoy a few family pictures below.

Gratefully,

Todd & Pamala
