journey the spring 2014 Before the Throne Praise the Lord for resources I needed to purchase a home in our community. Pray for Ukarumpa Interna8onal School as they decide how to handle a shortage of math teachers for the fall semester. Pray as I begin to prepare to go home on furlough (in December). There are many things that I need to get lined up, such as where I’ll live, a car to drive, schooling for teaching cer8fica8on, raising support, etc. Wycliffe Vision (This is an excerpt from a letter from Wycliffe’s president, Bob Creson) “In 1999, we (SIL and Wycliffe) adopted Vision 2025—a Bible transla8on in progress in every language community needing it by 2025. That was a bold step, and we all knew it came with a commitment to change the way we worked... Since then we have been pleased to watch this commitment translated into ac8on through cluster projects, computer adapta8on, and other innova8ons that have delivered the Scriptures to more people faster than ever. Along with you, we’ve watched new transla8on programs started and the number of needed transla8on programs drop. In October, for the first 8me ever, that number dropped below 2,000! The official transla8on need is now 1,967. For the first 8me there are more transla8on programs in progress than there are transla8on needs. More people have more access to Scripture than in any previous genera8on. While reflec8ng on the number of starts is exci8ng, it is also sobering because it means we have more to finish! Wycliffe and SIL exist to eradicate Bible poverty so that all language communi8es will have the opportunity to be transformed by God¹s Word and ul8mately reflect God¹s glory. Vision 2025 was a commitment to change, not just for the sake of change, but to change so that this lifechanging Word reaches people sooner rather than later.” My Part I’m not a translator, so why is my role so important? As the manager of the Finance Office, I get to help those who are on the front lines of transla8on work by looking out for the funds that come through our organiza8on here. I make sure others who work with our organiza8on have informa8on and resources they need to handle finances without problems. For one hour each day, I teach an 8th grade math class. Our school is very important to our community. We have a large number of families, and if it weren’t for Ukarumpa Interna8onal School, they would have to homeschool, taking away from their transla8on or support work. Acer this school year, two of our math teachers go on furlough so next semester it’s even more important that I’m able to teach at least one class. In October, for the first time ever, the number of needed translation programs dropped to below 2,000! a newsletter from brandy ingle To Donate: http://www.wycliffe.org/Partnership.aspx?mid=137574 Contact Me [email protected] www.brandyingle.wordpress.com Skype: brandyingle Mailing Address: Brandy Ingle SIL Box 1(493) Ukarumpa EHP 444 Papua New Guinea I got to travel to a town 2 hours away to see our middle and high school girls in their soccer tournament!
