As to affiliations, I sponsored by Wycliffe. I consider that I am part of the larger Bible translation team here although I am not assigned to a specific language project and only work with missionary kids. I don’t recall whether New Tribes has an association with Wycliffe on an official level.

But, when people get here our alphabet affiliations don’t seem to matter. We pray for each other and run errands for and with each other. Our school has students from all the groups here and we work together to advance God’s kingdom. I am glad Lucy joined the Wycliffe team. We have a goal of having a language translation project started for every language that needs one by the year 2025. As for Lucy being 65, well, ya’ gotta die somewhere! What do you want to be doing when you do die? (But cross-cultural adjustment does get harder, the older you are)

Working with missionary kids is on equal par with those who go into the field Imo. ...and in many respects as greater feat...you have many tongues, personalities and mannerisms to discern.... Not to mention giving the parents assurance and the opportunity to do their work without concerns for their children's safety and well being....sounds like it's really a great team there...

That's an awesome goal to reach.....and no doubt challenging. How many languages are there in the interior there?

Your comment of Lucy is right on! Gives one thought as well...thank you....and trusting you and yours will all be safe there without too much damage...I'm going to check your page here on FR.

May the Lord truly Bless your work in all ways....and according to His great Riches.....

Caw
