Mont & Shannon Weniger – April 2023

April 2023

Greetings friends,
It [God’s word] will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.  Isaiah 55:11b emphasis added
This scripture brings great hope for those who value God’s word. This is why the work of Bible Translation leads to transformed lives and communities. Currently, there are 2846 language projects happening in 157 countries; which represents about 1.1 billion people. Below is a graphic of the work that still needs to begin.

In addition to our current caseload, we are searching for candidates to fill critically needed managerial positions right now. Shannon is sifting through online leads, forwarding possible candidates for Mont to interview. Mont will also be presenting a webinar on May 2nd at 8pm Eastern: Managers in Missions: Enabling People and Projects to Succeed. Please share this link with any managers you know interested in missions and supporting Bible Translation. For anyone interested in exploring and learning more, check out https://www.wycliffe.org/events/explore-wycliffe.

We are praising God for his provision for recent financial needs. Mont is continuing to get stronger and use his arm more; his PT goes into June. We also thank God for the provision of a second car, a used car that has been in the family. Please continue to pray for Zach, who was seen at Mayo Clinic last month. The biggest prayer is that he gets in with his GI specialist sooner rather than later, and a medication plan is established.

Serving Christ,

Mont & Shannon Weniger
