Dela of Timor
The 7,000 Dela people live in a country that has been troubled by political and religious unrest for the last several years. These folks are so eager for God’s Word that they drafted Mark on their own initiative. The team is now trained and ready to move ahead with a full translation project. This project also includes an opportunity to prepare a young Dela woman for future service as a translation consultant for other languages in the Timor region. Project is fully partnered and supported.

Praise God for the enthusiasm of the Dela team and for what they’ve accomplished! Pray that the Lord will give the translators discernment as they revise James and the 5 Ts (1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus).

Team members in charge of keyboarding the handwritten or typed draft of the Scriptures into the computer often need to spend considerable time figuring out the words that need glottal notations. Praise God for the careful attention to detail by the Dela team.
