Moving Experiences
That wonderful trip to the Philippines in April got us moving! Our spirits soared as we witnessed the New Testament Dedication with the Kagayanen people and interacted folks who came to celebrate with us. One whole week was set apart with daily group activities and ministry and nightly conferences highlighting the multi-ethnic Kagayanen Bible translation team. Our spirits soared for another reason: participation of an African American woman in the completion of Scripture translation-a precious moment in African American history. We commemorated the work of an African American Bible translator. Jacqueline Huggins, was commemorated by her supporting churches and Wycliffe USA. Dozens of individuals from the USA including pastors and prayer partners came to rejoice and give glory to God. The excitement continued as we returned to Dallas.
On May 10th, Kevin finished up studies at Dallas Theological Seminary with two Masters Degrees-Cross-Cultural Ministries and Biblical Studies! Kevin's graduation from seminary meant our vacating seminary housing. On June 7th we moved to a new residence in southwest Dallas. This move brought us nearer to my siblings and closer to the International Linguistic Center (ILC). Wycliffe USA offices and the Graduate Institute of Linguistics (GIAL) are located on this same campus.
In mid June we reported to our church regarding our trip to the Philippines and June 22-27th both Kevin and I helped with a TOTAL It Up (Taste of Translation and Linguistics) Course in June. My involvement with this TOTAL It Up event was a lively way to finish almost eight years in Wycliffe USA Recruitment Ministries. Click here to view more photo.
