Karen has been working in the Siar-Lak Translation Program since 1994. Recently she returned to help her parents in their last days, and to work on the translation project from a distance.

Many encouraging reports have come from the village translation team. After a few dropped out, team leader Joel Toravin held a training course in the village, and brought the team back up to a good working group. The team finished the first draft of Matthew and John--Mark and Luke have already been published, and they have started on the epistles. Karen is delighted to have such a large amount of work to check and bring through the process to printing and distribution. She is hoping to work with the churches to encourage the people to read and follow the translated Scriptures. Her parents have gone home to heaven, so she is free to return full time to the translation work.

Please consider joining Karen, Joel Toravin, and the rest of the team in prayer and financial support of their Wycliffe ministry.
