Lisa's Update - January 31, 2025

[Lisa Meharry]

Dear family and friends,

God accomplished what many thought was impossible. “Most of the Etulo people look at it as something that is not going to be a reality.”

Those were the words of Benjamin, a coordinator and language advisor for the Etulo translation project. What was the reality his people couldn’t believe? That they would one day have Scripture in their language. While many people in the Etulo community didn’t think it was possible, eventually they came to hope that God would make a way for them to understand his Word in a meaningful way.

In May 2024, after years of prayer and faithful labor, the Etulo community celebrated the completion of their New Testament in written and audio formats. As you pray and give for my Wycliffe ministry, you are helping to bring the Bible to the world! Take a look at this video by Seed Company, a strategic partner in Bible translation:

The Etulo Welcome God's Word (4:13)

Recent Highlights -- Answers to Prayer:

• Thank you for your prayers for my new schedule. I'm enjoying the brisk pace, fitting everything into 32 hours/week. 
• My January days off have been filled with good "people" time and intentional conversations.

Looking Ahead -- Items for Prayer:

• The campus sale hit a bump, but there are other potential buyers now interested. The "move out" has likely been postponed until 2026.
• My Member Finance role frequently allows me to serve Wycliffe colleagues who are in challenging circumstances. Pray that I will care for and serve them well.
• Pray for wisdom to continue developing strong relationships with my extended family and my neighbors.

How may I pray for you?

Blessings,

Lisa
