Currently, many non-Roman scripts still cannot be processed by computers, and have to depend on hand-written transcriptions for cultural heritage. In order to facilitate Bible translation and distribute God’s Word widely, IT personnel are making use of their knowledge, experience and interest by participating in the Non-Roman Script Initiative (NRSI). NRSI helps language communities use their own scripts to know the world and to know God. More about NRSI.
Our daughters, Neli & Lenaya, have 10th and 8th grade behind them. :) On to rock picking season and more!
Thank you for your prayers and condolences during this season of grief and celebration with the Home-going of Glenda’s mom. She suffered a sudden stroke on Monday of last week and entered the eternal presence of our Lord Jesus on Thursday, July 27th.
Our prayer letters were submitted, printed, and mailed in early June and we are just now getting this out to our email partners in prayer including this turn of events. It has been a joy and challenge caring for mom over the last two years and we have learned so much. Perspective on many things now in this new season of adjusting will only help us seek God more and hear His voice with more certainty. His mercies are new every morning and His peace surpasses all understanding.
We are trusting God to guide and provide as we give attention to details after her passing and see what His will is for our family outside of the usual ministry schedule and involvements. Steve is filling in for a few pastors with sermons this summer and continues his full-time ministry hours with Wycliffe Bible Translators from our home in Balaton, MN. Steve and daughters are blessed to be at FLY right now and we pray as the Lord moves in the hearts of young and older alike during this encouraging week of ministry.
We gather for Eleanor Aaberg’s (mom’s) funeral with her pastor, Rev. Todd Klemme, at Minnewaska Free Lutheran Church of Starbuck, MN, on Friday, July 12th at 1 PM. Thanks for your continued prayers and love that surround us. His peace reigns.
