Some Additional Prayer Requests for February 2025

Here are a few prayer requests that didn't fit into my most recent prayer letter: 

• For many decades, visas for Chad have been very affordable, costing around $50, though it must be renewed every year. But now there are changes being made to the immigration laws in Chad that would force every foreign missionary in Chad to pay for an expensive work permit costing around $900, which would need to be renewed every year. Previously religious workers have been exempt from this, but this change would mean we would no longer be exempt and would need to pay the additional $900 a year for the work permit (in addition to the $50 a year for the visa). Pray for the Lord's will to be done in this matter.
  
  
• Besides the two language groups that have finished their whole Bible, another language, the Ngamh, is preparing to print a trial edition of the book of Exodus. Pray we can get this trial edition ready to print in the coming months.
  
  
• Pray for the Sara Kaba Naa translation, which is still working on quality checking on their Bible and hope to print in the next couple years or so.
  
  
• This year we have adopted a new translation project: the Mbum-Nzakambay, a large language group which is spoken in Chad, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic. Pray for us as we prepare to give the translators and local committees the needed training so they can begin the translation work.
