Wes & Nancy November 2023 Prayer Requests

A person whom we can always count on for seeking prayer is our indigenous colleague, Byron (and his wife Miriam). This precious couple heads up a number of ministries related to the Mam Bible translation production and promotion among the Mam of Guatemala. A special blessing and thanks to our family at Parkside for your vision and prayer. Pray for wisdom for Byron, and safety.

Thanks,

Wes

Pray for the Mam people going though final stages of editing the Central Mam New Testament so that it can be published together with a revised version of the Complete Mam Bible.

Greetings from 100-plus-degee-temperatures here in Wake Forest.

Here’s a prayer request for us for September:

* Praise the Lord and pray for our ministry partners, Byron Temaj and LAMP, as they work on projects to promote the use of spoken Mam and finalization of the Old Testament. Many other Mam men and women are involved as well.

Wes & Nancy August 2023 Prayer Requests

Pray for our ministry partner Byron Temaj as he serves believers in Guatemala with literacy lessons and Scripture teaching in their native language, Mam.

Wes & Nancy July 2023 Prayer Request

Pray for our ministry partner Byron Témaj and his team in Guatemala as they deal with lots of churches and institutions to promote the Mam New Testament and the preaching of the gospel in the local native language. May Mam catch on as a culrtural value, and may the words of the New Testament have rich and deep meaning for the Mam people.

Wes & Nancy June 2023 Prayer Request

Pray for missionaries’ spiritual lives. It can be a challenge to keep the main thing the main thing, especially when Christians are sparse. May God be honored in the cultures of those we’re called to serve.

Wes & Nancy May 2023 Prayer Request

Overseas ministry often requires the sharing of resources--like housing, study materials, books, technology and basic life issues and shared space. Pray that God gets the glory and thanks for such help while missionaries learn what they need for long term service. Thanks to Parkside for decades of this kind of support for many missionaries and missionary families.

Thanks,

Wes, and for Nancy

Wes & Nancy April 2023 Prayer Request

I just heard from our Mam colleague, Byron. He spends much of his time training people to be involved with literacy, broadcasting, and writing—along with Bible translation. Pray for the relevance of these, especially to students and seniors.

Thank you.
