Dear friends,
This is our last prayer letter to you while we are still in the States on furlough since we return to Bosnia July 22. It has been a good year and we are thankful that we’ve been able to see many of you and share at the churches which support the work in Bosnia. We have a few more times to speak as indicated by the underlined dates on our prayer
calendar on the back. Thank you to each one who had us over for a meal, brought food, housed us, shared your stuff, and served us in many other ways. We really appreciate it!
I graduated from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with an MA in Biblical Languages, and hope to begin a PhD in NT on our next furlough in 2010. On that furlough we plan to get Timothy and Jonathan settled into college. They do not yet know where they will attend, but we’ve had a chance to visit several schools, including Columbia International University, Liberty University, Midwestern Baptist College and LeTourneau University.
Timothy is interested in computer science and missions, and Jonathan is interested in art and missions. Elizabeth did well in orchestra this semester and we trust she can use this at church in Bosnia. Daniel is healthy and bringing us great joy. We’re very thankful for him.
When we get back to Bosnia, I will dive back into the translation work on the Bosnian Bible. We are currently working on a draft of 1-3 John. In addition, there are a
number of books and reference articles that I will work on editing and that we will put on our web site or print. These include continued work on Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar, Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament, Old Testament Exegesis, 1-3 John: Comfort and Counsel to a Church in Crisis, introductions to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts, Soul to Soul: A Biblical Study on Leadership, and Westminster’s morphology of the Hebrew OT. These are being translated into Bosnian or Croatian.
Financially, we still lack $2000 per month for our missionary support, and $7000 in one-time gifts to buy a van since we do not have a vehicle in Bosnia.
Thank you for praying for these needs.
Todd, Pamala,
Timothy (17),
Jonathan (16),
Elizabeth (13),
Matthew (9),
Kirsten (4) &
Daniel (2 mos.) Price
