Many of us take our concordance for granted. Our
English concordance has become a search engine on a computer, which makes Bible
study so much quicker & easier. Perhaps some of you remember the days of
the book concordance, and flipping back & forth, searching many Scriptures
to find the one you’re looking for. And to search for all verses with the same two
words was extremely difficult & time consuming. Now we do it all with a
few clicks of the mouse. Yet what an amazing tool is a book concordance if you
have no computers, and there’s never been one in your language. Imagine the
joy!
That’s the joy of the Wayana tribe in the
jungles of Suriname. World Team missionaries Margaret & Jan have just completed a
concordance in the Wayana language, and are now distributing them in the tribal
villages. The tribe, who meet daily for worship, are excited about this new
tool for knowing God’s Word. Praise God for his provision!
Another exciting development is that one of the
tribes is sending out their own missionaries. They recently sent out a team to
find a mysterious tribe in the jungles, who shy away from others, and are
unknown to the other tribes. No one knows what they are like or what language
they speak. The believers are very courageous & self-sacrificing for the
spread of the Good News of Jesus.
Roy & Margaret
(pictured with the Pfleegors) have served the tribes in Suriname for over 40
years, and will soon retire. Marco & Marjolean from Holland are replacing
them, and there’s a need for another missionary to help. Roy was a soda truck
driver before becoming a missionary.
Michael & Erin Pfleegor will
help out some with the ministry to these tribes, but their focus will be more
on unreached people in the capitol city of Suriname, Paramaribo. Psalm 67
Missions Network is partnering with the Pfleegors in this ministry. Please,
prayerfully consider what part you too might have in this ministry for the
glory of Christ. Thank you.
