Wolff Update Jan 07

Greetings from sunny beautiful Papua New Guinea,

We had a wonderful Holiday season this year with our Solong believers. It has been an awesome privilege to be with them and watch the Solong Bible teachers grow in their walks with the Lord. In the past they would teach almost word for word the Bible lessons which I prepared for them. But lately they are going beyond my lessons, studying, preparing and teaching excellent messages on their own.

Robina and I are going through some major changes right now. We are packing up and preparing for an extended “Home Assignment” in the USA. This was made possible by some recent technology advances NTM has put in place here in Papua New Guinea. They installed a satellite internet service called V-Sat at our center in Hoskins. So I now have the ability to continue working on the Bible and other translation projects from the USA over the internet with my Solong Bible teachers. This is an exciting prospect for me, because it will allow me to continue on with my work from the USA while we get our kids settled into American life and will allow Robina to complete her teaching degree which we hope to use when we head back overseas.

This new arrangement has its challenges… like teaching my Solong guys to use a computer, and the frequent visits I will still need to make to PNG to continue checking the Bible Translation with our consultants. But we are excited about the possibilities this opens up to us.

Pray:

- For wisdom in all the changes we are going through

- For our children as New Guinea life is all they know and the thought of living in the USA scares them a bit.

Praise:

- We recently did the final consultant check on another 1000 Bible verses. It went very well and they will soon be ready for printing.

Our plan is to return to the USA the end of March and take a short furlough before diving back into the work. If there are any conferences or special events that you would like us to come be a part of, please let us know.

Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and support all these years.

With Love,

Paul & Robina Wolff
