Hua of Southeast Asia
Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride. (Ecclesiastes 7:8, NLT)
Hua Christians struggle in a society where other religions dominate. In recent years they’ve come under attack from the major religion. The Church needs to grow and mature to face the onslaught of these threats and evangelize with the message of truth and hope. For that to happen, they need the Old Testament to supplement their understanding of the New Testament. All the copies of the Hua New Testament, published in 2000, have been sold. The team plans a second printing; but in addition, pastors and church leaders have requested the Old Testament. They’d like to have Psalms first, since much of their liturgy uses that book. They want their congregations to engage with God as David did, and to become a people “after God’s own heart.”

Praise God that Ruth was published. Pray that as the 100 published copies are distributed, many Hua souls will be redeemed from spiritual poverty as they embrace the love of our true Kinsman-Redeemer — Jesus Christ.
-
Pray that God will grant wisdom to the Hua team as they translate the book of Psalms in a way that reflects the beauty of its poetic language while preserving the accuracy of its message.
-
Praise God that editing of the “JESUS” film was finished. Pray that the seeds planted by this film will take root and result in an abundance of spiritual fruit.
