• March.  Hans is very happy and very busy leading a group of Biafada believers from scattered locations, coming together for "One Story".  The group will translate the key stories from Creation to Salvation in Biafada, developing an orthography for the language during the process and teach the stories to Biafada people, training them to tell the Bible stories so that all may hear.  In March, there will be a two week workshop to help the group develop the needed translation skills.
• Now. Some of our workers are suffering from health problems.  Malaria and typhoid are common and require time for recovery.  Please ask the Lord to give wisdom about treatment and recovery and for His healing touch.  Also, that our workers will be wise in prevention of disease as much as possible.
• Delays.  We are experiencing unusual delays in renewing resident cards, and getting support sent from one sending base to the field.  Please ask the Lord to remove the blockages and delays so that delays will not rob much of our time and energy.  May our focus be on Him.

Praise the Lord with us for the following

• The local Fula church is growing and sharing the Good News with others in their communities.
• Bill and Linda, a mature couple with adult children, are preparing to come to manage our HQ later this year.  This is a wonderful answer to prayer, after some years.  They have all of the gifts and experience needed and we rejoice and praise the Lord for them.  Please pray for all that they need to do before leaving their country to come here and for the Lord's provision in every way.
• One Story.  Praise Him for the beginning of a new work on translating the remaining unwritten languages into an oral account of the key stories from Creation to Salvation.  The oral stories from the Bible have the potential to be heard by every speaker or hearer of the language, meaning the Word of the Lord can potentially reach every unreached person in this country.
