It was such a joy to have a Zoom call with my fellow translation colleagues in Tanzania! There were translators from every team: Ikizu, Ikoma, Jita, Kabwa, Kwaya, Simbiti, and Zanaki. There were also other Translation Advisors, like me. We were able to share updates with each other about work progress, discuss some best practices in translation, and also encourage each other to persevere in the midst of the Coronavirus restrictions. By the grace of God, the work of Bible translation is moving forward in Tanzania. The Simbiti, Kabwa, and Ikoma teams are in the final stages of finishing the New Testament. Praise the Lord! Please continue to pray for the translators in Tanzania. They face many difficulties like sickness, poor living conditions, and even the death of loved ones, but they press on in the work because they long to have God's Word in their own language!
