Greetings! I would like to share with you for our update for DOT program in Wycliffe Associates. We started a DOT program in 2015 and since then we have trained over 40 sign language groups. So far, there are at least 12 sign language groups have completed their sign language translations on New Testament. For those have already completed New Testament, they are currently working on Old Testament translations. We have not had a group to complete Old Testament yet. Some other projects are continuing to do translations in New Testament, possibly up to 2 years to complete. There are some different projects stalled due to lack of commitment, leadership issues, etc. We are working to revive on these projects so they can restart to do on their translations. It’s essential for deaf people to know God’s Word into their heart sign language. Most deaf couldn’t read due to lack of education, poor education, lack of access, oppression, etc.

We just created our new website and app for sign language translations so the Deaf can have access to these videos and learn God’s Word from their own sign language.

Prayer requests:

1. Pray for all translation projects to continue to use wisdom to understand God’s Word and translate it into their sign languages. And making sure it’s accurate, clear, understanding and natural in their sign languages.
2. Pray for those stalled projects to restart their translations and renew their commitment.
3. Pray for more opportunities for new projects in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America in the future.

My next mission will be Angola on August. This is a new project for them. We will train them for our translation methodology for 2 weeks. It’s been a while since I trained a new project so I’m looking forward to it!

Thank you for your time and support!
