PAPUA NEW GUINEA: The Tigak New Testament Is Finished!

Source: Ethnos360, May 26, 2019

“Mar 28, 2019 9:45 a.m., Tigak New Testament finished.” That was the text message I got from my teammate Ned yesterday morning. He’d been working with a couple Tigak guys and [translation] consultants over the last weeks to check over the last remaining books of the New Testament. As you know, we’ve all been pushing, especially the last few months, to see this happen, and many of you have prayed. Thank you. God has provided and here we are. This is good news! It’s huge!

God loves the Tigak. He loved them enough not only to send Jesus to make a way for them to be reconciled to himself, but also to orchestrate things throughout history so that they would be given the opportunity to actually read about that—and so much more—in their own language.

You know there are hundreds of languages around the world in which the written Word of God still does not exist? Sometimes I forget. Because his love for each of those people groups is great, God will continue his tiny picture/big picture efforts to change that. But let us also pray that he would send out more laborers to take on that task.
