Your ability to understand and appreciate the New Testament will be deepened as well. 

The first course will cover Genesis through Deuteronomy and is scheduled for the Wednesday nights in January (the 8^th, 15^th, 22^nd, and 29^th). The classes will be held from 7:00–8:30 p.m. in the Stewart Lounge and Pastor Greg will be the teacher. Courses covering the other OT books are scheduled for March and May.

Prayers & Praise

Thank you so much for the very generous Thanksgiving/Christmas gift and for the love and encouragement that we feel from you all.

Our daughter, Esther, and her youngest, Kegan (12 yrs), came from Nova Scotia to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. We had a great week of making memories together.

In a couple of weeks, we plan to fly across the country to spend Christmas with Eida’s mother in Southern California. This will be her first Christmas since Vern, her husband, Eida’s stepfather, was taken to be with the Lord.

Then in January, Steve will be spending a couple of weeks with his mom in San Jose, California, taking a turn as caregiver.

It is a blessing to be able to work remotely. Some specific projects:

Spanish translation of materials for a Bible Translation Workshop – many extensive PowerPoints as well as worksheets and other handouts.

A Core Curriculum in Spanish for our training programs in Latin America. At least 100 pages long so far, and growing.

An updated Translators’ Manual, much revised and expanded from the previous one.
