Dear praying friends,

Here are a few prayer requests:

1. We still do not have a place to live in Kansas City during our home assignment August 3, 2017-January 30, 2018. Please pray for a place for us to stay, that it would have 3-4 bedrooms, be relatively close to our home church in Blue Springs, MO, and be inexpensive. (Even when we are visiting in the States, we are responsible for the rent of the house in Budapest--see below).

2. Please pray for a family to sub-lease the house we rent in Budapest during this time. This would be a huge help financially.

3. Please pray for the foundation in the US that is considering funding our 5 Roma Bible translation projects for $350,000 for the next 3 years. Pray for the Lord's will to be done, and that if it would please him, this foundation would approve this grant request.

4. There is an older couple with many years of experience in Bible translation who are considering moving here (to Hungary or Croatia) to help with the Bible translation projects. There are many details to work out between their organization and us. Please pray for them and their organization, for the Lord's wisdom and his guidance of where they should serve next (they are currently on home assignment).

Are you "blessed"? What does that actually mean? We use the term a lot but it is hard to nail down a clear meaning. An important issue any time the Bible is being translated into a minority language (like a Roma dialect) is deciding how to translate key, theological words.

So far in our drafts into these Roma dialects, our Roma translators have chosen to use the Croatian or Serbian word "bless", because their Roma dialects don't have a word for that. But in a recent meeting in Serbia while working on the Gurbet Roma dialect, we decided to use one of the Roma terms which means "to make fortunate" which is an excellent rendering of the biblical idea.

It was fun to see the lights go on, and for us as a translation team to find one more way to make God's Word clear to Roma who speak this language. Thank you for praying for us for wisdom and guidance in this important work of translation.

Gratefully,

Todd
