Jon and Angie Button minister in Southeast Africa. “Praise God we were able to finish the first part of our Bible curriculum. It has been carefully translated, taking in the importance of cultural interpretations. The curriculum is being translated and developed in Swahili. We still need to review it and make some format changes as well as make sure it communicates clearly as a whole. The next section that we will be working on represents many hundreds of pages and covers many areas including phonetics, translation principles and other subjects involved in cross-cultural church planting. We are excited that there is growing interest in these materials, and we look forward to the opportunities we will have to teach and disciple others to use them to train locals for cross-cultural ministry. Pray for us to have wisdom in this project.”
