Just a few hours ago, Marcy and I participated in the graduation ceremonies of the FirstBible School of Translation. Four students were graduated, and it has been my joy to teach each of them. One student has been actively translating the Bible into his native language of Amharic for years. Another wil be going to Colombia to translate for an unreached people group. Yet another will develop an editorial department for FirstBible International. The remaining student wil become a freelance translation consultant as she raises her three children and serves alongside her husband in ministry.

We continue to await the new appraisal for the devastation at the farm. Our advisors have informed us that the farm will most likely be considered a total loss, useful only to help reduce future taxes that we normally must pay. May God's perfect will be done!
Because of your faithful prayers and support, the Lord allows us to continue serving Him in multiple areas of ministry. We have just received your financial gift of $100! Thank you for partnering with us in the Lord's work. May God greatly bless you.

For His glory,
Bill Patterson

Ps Our April trip to Mongolia was greatly blessed! We finished the revision work on 1 Samuel. We also worked in Isaiah and Matthew.
