During our church's prayer meeting (for the last 3 years), I have spent time with the adolescents who attend. Besides praying, we have read missionary biographies, worked on Bible reading schedules, done some verse memorization, made Christmas cookies and given them away with tracts and invitations to church, learned about Bible translation for people groups who are just now receiving the Word in their language for the first time, etc.
One specific prayer request we make sure to include are our church's missionaries who live in the Amazon (Ambauba) with the Baniwas. They do Bible translation, literacy, and teaching. Most recently we have prayed for project that Zenilson has been working on for quite some time...translating three volumes of lessons in chronological order and then publishing the materials for distribution.
It was pretty exciting to get a package in the mail that contained some of the first books that came off the press. Pictured are most of the kids who participate in our prayer meeting. They are showing off the finished product.
