The picture below is from my mom's family reunion last week. Left to right: Jason and me, my parents, my two sisters, Natalie and Jennifer, and Jennifer's boyfriend, Kyle. And that's one of our dogs, Nala. My brother, Mark, and his wife, Becki, were unable to come this year due to Mark's police academy training.

God calls a 68 year old

JANE'S STORY: Today I interviewed a woman named Jane. She was born in Africa, traveled to England, then eventually to the USA, where she married a man in the US Navy. Unfortunately, sad circumstances led to a divorce. After that, Jane became a believer and served the Lord among the Native American reservations and later became a correctional officer in a prison.

Eighteen years after her divorce, she was at the hospital with her husband who was sick. Jane talked to him as she had many times before about the Lord. She asked him if he was ready to receive the Lord as his Savior, and if he wanted her to pray with him. He used a pen to write his answer on a tablet since breathing tubes prevented him from speaking. He wrote, "YES." Jane prayed with him. Two weeks later, he passed away. Jane cried as she shared her story with me.

Jane is 68 years old. She is retired and ready to go overseas to serve a Bible Translation project for at least a year, maybe more! Pray for us in the weeks to come as I look for the right placement for her, and pray for Jane as she prepares to go.

God calls a 22 year old

JEANETTE'S STORY: Yesterday, I got an update from a 22 year old intern who just arrived in S.E. Asia for her 3 month internship. This is what Jeanette says: "The Wycliffe office here and everyone in it are fantastic! Seven language projects are currently being worked on...This past week I started typing out the handwritten manuscript that a translation team made for the book of Ruth for a tribal language. Once their manuscript gets into the computer, then the editing process for a printed copy begins. For me, it was basically inputting symbols, and even though I could not understand it, I loved it!"

These are just two recent glimpses of how God uniquely prepares people for his service and how He uses Wycliffe Interns and Volunteers to make a significant impact on work overseas. It is a privilege to help train and prepare folks for the Bible Translation tasks God has for them!

And maybe God is calling you!?!

Regardless of your age or life stage, have you considered serving God overseas? Maybe God is calling you to go as a Wycliffe Volunteer or Intern! If so, check out the website and let me know!

Perhaps he is urging you to invest prayerfully or financially in Bible Translation work?

If so, maybe you can partner with us! We need your help to get to 100%. We only need: $145/month. We're almost there!

I am trusting that God will provide the amount needed in a short time so that I don't have to stop my role to raise funds.

If you are already partnering with us financially or prayerfully, THANK YOU!!! Many volunteers and interns have significantly assisted Bible translation projects in part because of your generosity! If you aren't currently partnering with us, would you consider joining our team - whether by prayer or through finances?

Or maybe you could become an advocate for the Bibleless peoples of the world, and inviting a friend to consider partnership with us? Or maybe you could connect us with your church? We would be honored to join with you or your friends, or your church in this way. Just let us know!

Promotion: Volunteer & Intern Placement Team Leader
This past month, my supervisor officially made me the 'Team Leader' of our VIP team. For the past 9 months or so, I have helped train my colleagues, as well as presented new ideas and strategies to make our job easier in the midst of on-going changes. My supervisor said he wanted me to have the title to match my efforts :-) I look forward to continuing to serve as an Overseas Trip Coordinator, but also hope to use my leadership position to care well for my teammates and serve them in whatever way I can as we work together to send people to the field.

I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
I will ponder all your work,
and meditate on your mighty deeds.
Psalm 77:11-12

For His Glory, and for the Nations,
Until All Have Heard,
Elizabeth Eno
