Keith Beavon's Blog: service opportunities in WBT

How to access the pictures accompanying text?

It is possible to save a copy the pictures of this blog on your computer so that you can enlarge it and print it. In Windows Internet Explorer, the way I do it is left-click the picture once and then wait until the picture comes up on its own window. At that time, you click "Page" on the light blue tool bar and then click "SaveAs" in the drop-down window. Then you tell the browser where to save the file on your computer.
Someone with a different Web browser will have a different avenue for saving it.

You are needed

The Bible translation movement is vast but still holds out a place of service for each one of you. There is a new magazine that you can read from Wycliffe Bible Translators which explains more. http://content.yudu.com/Library/A18m4w/wycliffebrochure/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http://www.yudu.com/item/details/62033/wycliffe-brochure
WBT recruited me in 1972 and in 1975 Mary and I were seconded to work with SIL in Cameroon.
Let me know how available you are for this ministry. I have lots of concrete ideas. One entails preparing a dictionary for further development and printing. Another is assisting us in building a world-leading database of proverbs from the world we occupy as guests, here in Africa. You may be able to help out without leaving your home.

Unfunded Projects for Your Consideration

What projects do we see as being particuliarly deserving of your gifts?

1. Help Ekoalea Maurice find the rest of the funds for his education. He was the translator of the Badwe'e New Testament and now he wants to finish the 3rd and 4th years of seminary at UPAC so he can serve the Lord more as a Presbyterian Pastor and as an exegete for the Old Testament. He has some of the funds for the training from the church and from a support team in Yaounde, but he needs the rest.

2. Help the Roman Catholic community to find the funds needed for the building of their sanctuary and parsonage. The Bishop, Msr Jan Odza, writes:

Chers bienfaiteurs,

Par la présente j'approuve le projet que vous présente le Père Tarcisisus MPA, Curé de la paroisse Saint Marc de Ngoïla.

Cette paroisse a été érigée il y a quelques années, et ne disposait à ce moment que des structures dérisoires, qui demandent aujourd'hui à être refectionnées. La population locale n'étant pas à mesure de répondre à cette exigence, le Curé se trouve contraint de tendre la main vers l'extérieur.

Je reste donc favorable à cette demande, et vous remercie déjà pour votre soutien bienfaisant.

Voici les références bancaires de la banque en France:

4. Help the Presbyterian community of Nzo'adiba to create an office for Scripture Use, church-based literacy, and Old Testament translation. Pastor Ernest Njelo has asked for this help. He has the backing of the eccumenical translation and Scripture-use committee, but they are very poor.
