Lisa's Update - January 23, 2026

[Lisa Meharry]

Dear family and friends,

For the 2.5 million deaf people living in Ethiopia, mental and emotional isolation are common. Loneliness and community prejudice are hurdles they face every day. They become like outcasts.

Wycliffe Canada hosted workshops that were attended by members of the Ethiopian Sign Language translation team. There, the team learned essential skills for translation. The lead translator, Abel, could easily have given up, but he persevered. He dreams of completing a translation of the whole Bible in his lifetime.

Thanks to the Lord and Abel’s dedicated team, a growing number of people in the Ethiopian Deaf community are finding purpose in Jesus.

Recent Highlights -- Answers to Prayer:

• I am making progress learning my new tasks.
• January was an especially busy month. Praise God for the wisdom and strength to finish things.
• I had a round of Covid this month, but it was mild and I have recovered well.

Looking Ahead -- Items for Prayer:

• Pray for Abel and the team and for completion of the Ethiopian Sign Language Bible.
• The new software project for our team has been delayed.
• Continue to pray that I can fully learn the new tasks.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and gifts -- you are impacting Bible translation around the world.

How may I pray with you?

Lisa
