The last few weeks were full as we started back up the monthly Awa Youth day, fit in four more translation Fridays, as well as planned for and carried out the annual Awa Believers’ Conference! We have a great appreciation for your prayers as we experienced God’s provision of daily strength and help along the way.
Guillermo, Oscar, and David worked along with Kevin and coworker Andy to translate Isaiah chapter 53 in the weeks leading up to Easter. This chapter became our theme for the Conference, as we looked at God’s plan for dealing with our sins through the suffering of Jesus, as well as the joy of knowing that His work on our behalf is complete, shown in the Resurrection. Our memory verse was “All we like sheep have gone astray….” Isaiah 53:6.
Wantuzne karɨt pɨrikukana chaamtumakpas.
Everyone lost sheep-like walking-we-all
Pakaish pakaish au mimin sayamtu.
Each-one each-one our way-only looking-for
Au ñanta kimtukas,
Our crooked doing-even_though
Yawe au kwail kirɨt aizpa ussa taizninta.
Jehovah our bad done each-thing Him-to made fall.
- God held back the heavy rains for the three days of Conference. Lorena told us that it was a gift from God to walk back and forth each day dry, and she posted a picture of the heavy rain that fell on Sunday afternoon, right after we all returned home!
- We had a consistent 100 people each day; we were happy to see that the main body of believers assisted all three days of Conference, and listened with good understanding.
- The Andersons were able to join us, and the German Impact team did a great job keeping the children occupied with Bible teaching, songs, games, and crafts! This freed Kathy and Chrissy up to be able to remain with the ladies.
In His grip,
Kevin & Kathy
