Map showing East Timor (Timor-Leste)

Rejoice! We have a new Bible web site for East Timor! East Timor (which they call Timor-Leste in their local languages) is the first new soverign state of the 21st century. Getting this web site up and running has been on my to-do list for a long time, now. I am grateful to Jed for his volunteer work finishing the process of getting this site online in a usable format. We already had languages spoken in East Timor on eBible.org. The reason for the new BibliaTimorLeste.org web site is to make it easier for people in or from East Timor to find Scriptures in their own languages.

Thank God that

We logged over 648 Million Scripture deliveries in 1,539 translations! That is 3 million more deliveries than last prayer letter.
I was honored to be able to typeset two more Bibles for Bibles for Africa to print on their new Bible printing press this week.
We have a volunteer working with me on some new Bible study software that will fill in some gaps for Bibles in some languages, and hopefully work better even for some languages covered by existing apps. I hope to provide him with an Apple computer to help him with that, soon. More about that, later. Thanks Robert!
Our 13-year-old car sold at a fair price. Thank you for praying!
We have awesome prayer and financial partners making our ministry to the world possible.
God’s Word never returns to Him without doing what He sent it to do. (Isaiah 55:11)

Prayer Requests

Wise balancing of competing time demands.
Supernatural productivity to get caught up with some of the work that piled up while we were traveling.
Wisdom in selecting a new notebook computer.
Wisdom to know which projects to take on, and which ones are best left for someone else.

How can we pray for you, today?
