Assembling a Team

Gathering people to talk and brainstorm and plan is still important even in this digital age.

Shooting out an email might feel momentarily efficient but not actually reach anyone (if they don't have an email address, or email access or are too overwhelmed with other tasks).

And it wouldn't build the vision, respect and trust that is needed to develop a ministry.

Getting a complex team assembled is still a juggling act. 

We are needing your prayers, asking the Lord to bring all of these people and pieces together if He wants a Study Bible for the Lomwe people to go forward. 

And we are needing gifts to cover the costs of making this work. The expenses for travel, accommodation and meals for a week together are daunting.

But orienting the team, getting everyone on the same page, developing a timeline and roles, planning for the technical requirements and needs are all crucial to launch this wider network. 

The Study Bible ministry has a wider team and also a more local focus, both at the same time. 

So please also pray for Bible Weekends with Lomwe leaders. 

This ministry requires both: far-flung experts giving input and local Lomwe pastors owning it, and bringing us their questions and concerns, so the Study Bible will speak clearly into their ministry context and daily needs. 

Pray for us in building a sense of ownership of the Study Bible in the Lomwe language as we get the wider team together for the workshop -- and meet with some of the local Lomwe leaders for a Bible Weekend -- 

and get people ready for the Study Bible to come ! 

Thanking  the Lord for your gifts and prayers!

So glad of your fellowship in Jesus,
