Hi friends,
I finished typesetting the third draft of the complete Jita New Testament. After the previous draft, the proof-readers gave me some helpful feedback about spacing and layout to improve the clarity and readability of the text. So I processed all of their feedback and I personally think it looks really good!
As I was working through the text one book at a time, I came to John 3, where Jesus says,
"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."
The Jita team thought it would be helpful to insert an illustration of Moses there so I arranged the page like this:
As I prepared this page, I was again struck with the reality that the Jita people will soon have not only John 3:16, but the entire New Testament in their own language. I found myself thanking God for the privilege of being part of his glorious kingdom work.
Anyway, after I finished arranging this page nicely, I glanced at the page number:
Yep, 316. John 3:16 is on page 316. That's fun!
Well, I finished the third draft of the entire New Testament and sent it back to the proof-readers again. Hopefully, it's ready to be sent to the printers. Please keep praying for us and for the Jita New Testament.
Thank you for all of your prayers and support. We appreciate you!
