The Tobo Team:
Knapps, Mankins, Williamsons
Newest member of the team – Ezekiel Mankins - (not pictured),
So what is the latest news from the tribe?
Chad Mankins has been keeping busy both translating the book of Romans and also writing the lessons and teaching them to the church. So his plate has been full indeed. The first drafts of Romans are completed and are in the process of being prepared for a consultant check. The problem is that consultants are hard to come by, so please be in prayer that a consultant is freed up to help Chad and that he is able to get Romans checked before summer… that would be a wonderful thing to have done by then. Also, the Mankins have been fighting some illnesses in the past few months and so it would be wonderful if you could all pray for them. We have also heard that it is raining cats and dogs in the tribe (God wouldn’t want to disappoint now, would he), so be praying for both the Mankins and the Williamsons that their spirits would be encouraged and that they would have some sun to dry out their clothes.
Speaking of the Williamsons, it sounds like Jason should be getting close to finishing his formal language study! That means he will soon be able to join Chad and I in the translation of Bible materials and in the more intimate areas of discipleship. Please pray that he will continue to progress well (as he already has) and finish here soon with flying colors.
And, as always, continue to be in prayer for the Tobo church. Pray that their love for God and for each other would grow as they continue to learn and appreciate God’s love for them as seen in the book of Romans. Pray that they would understand in a new and empowering way all that Christ did for them through his death.
Thank you for your prayers, many of you have said to me that you pray daily for us and the Tobo work… thank you. Your prayers to God on our team’s behalf have made a difference in the past and they continue to do so. God honors our attitude of dependence upon him as manifested by our prayers to him. I have the great privilege of being able to recount answered prayer after answered prayer… thank you for never ceasing in this great work of the Spirit!
His Clay Pots,
Jason for the Tobo team

here's a dumb question for you! But are you back in the tribe? I was thinking you were still in the states?
