The situation in Manipur, India is much better. Once again we are planning to go during our next trip. PRAY that God allows us to go and accomplish these tasks. One project, the Tarao, can not go to print until Connie sits down with their committee and helps them solve some orthography problems.

• We need some important software license before we leave for India. We are having a difficult time obtaining them and are waiting on a committee to approve us. PRAY that the committee meets and approves the licenses we need before the end of the year.

• We are PRAISING GOD that Sarah Braden has joined the team for the next year. She is already being a tremendous help to Connie. Pray that she will be able to take a huge load of Connie’s shoulders and Pray that God will provide the remaining $2800 we need for her.

• Birch’s grandmother is not doing well. Please continue to pray for her.

• PROJECTS:
  Birch has the B.I. database up and running. He has trained our consultants on how to use it and they are very excited about the tremendous help it will be to them.. Pray that B.I. will be able to get the archived information on it so it will be available for our consultants.

• 
  

• Connie has 6 O.T. Bible Storybooks and 3 primers she hopes will go to print this year. Pray that God will make this happen.

• The Boys: They are no longer babies, which makes us a little sad at times but it is such a joy to watch them grow. There favorite activity is climbing and jumping off things. Pray for them as they’ve been having a difficult time with deputation. They often cry for “my bed” and “my house” and have generally had a difficult sleeping. Pray that God gives them (and us) strength to get through this part of the ministry.
