Thanks!

Jason took his last language evaluation on May 25th when our language consultants flew into Tobo. He did an excellent job and has been given the official okay to be finished with language and to move onto the next phase of ministry here in Tobo. Praise the Lord with us for this huge accomplishment, as it’s only been by the Lord’s strength that he has been able to press on for the last 18 months to learn it. Jason will now be able to join our co-workers in the huge task of translating the Scriptures, developing teaching lessons, and discipling the believers here in Tobo. I (Nisae) hope to continue with language as I have a little break in school over the next month and then hope to be able to add language back into my daily schedule after that. Pray that I will take it one day at a time and look to the Lord for balance!!

Over the past two weeks our family along with Ambox & Welson (Tobo believers) have been in the islands of PNG attending a translation workshop. It has been a great opportunity for us to learn more about the translation process and meet other families like ourselves in other tribes. It has also been an amazing experience for Ambox and Welson as they have not only received instruction in how to assist in translation, but also have come to understand the big picture of what New Tribes Mission is doing in many tribes all over PNG. They have talked with other national believers like themselves and have been strengthened and encouraged in their faith. It has been a great experience for all of us and great for building relationships with these 2 men!! Thank you for your prayers and financial assistance both making it possible for us to be here and learn more about what the Lord has for us in our ministries in Tobo.

Kadynn has been in the States for a few weeks now visiting my parents in Michigan! She will begin her travels back the second week in July with some friends of ours. She has already had so many awesome experiences and has been having a blast getting spoiled by our families. When I asked her recently on the phone if she missed us she responded, “a little”, so she’s really doing great! What a great opportunity for her to make more connections with her grandparents and other family back home.

Please pray with us for our team in Tobo. In the first week of June, our co-workers Chad & Janeene Mankins had to unexpectedly return to the States for medical reasons. Please pray for Chad that he will get answers to his health concerns and that they would be able to return mid-July. We are also anticipating the return of our other co-workers, Jason & Kellie Knapp, from furlough in the beginning of August. Please pray for them as they spend these last weeks in the States traveling and packing. And finally, our furlough in the States is coming up in 6 months! Please continue to pray for a house to stay in, opportunities to speak & a van to drive. Also pray for God’s provision for the remainder of our travel expenses. Thanks!

Thank you for your part in keeping us serving among the Tobo people!

Your hands & feet,
Jason, Nisae, Kadynn, Judah & Eden Williamson
