2016
That is the newest, most accurate estimate of when the Nyungwe New Testament will be ready for publication. Based on formulas that seem to be actually realistic about how much translation gets done in a year, drafting 20 verses a day, 150 actual work-days per year, including the other steps in the process, counting off for weekends, workshops, sickness, etc...
The translators are determined that they will translate the WHOLE Bible. They aren't satisfied that New Testament, Genesis and Exodus are enough for the Nyungwe people. So, there will most likely be a second phase to the project. Most likely, they will do most of that without a full-time missionary.
Bisters? What will they do after 2016?
In 2016, Katie will be 16 years old! Jake and John will also be out-growing the Zambezi Jr. School here in Tete. So, we are considering our options in other positions in Wycliffe. Most likely Mikael will work towards getting certified as a translation consultant. In the next ten years, not only will Mozambique have loads of Bible translation to check, but Angola should also have translations in progress.
Pray with us about preparing for the future God is planning for us. We still feel that we will be involved in Bible translation in Africa for sure. Where? How long? Doing what? God will show us... in His time!
