Mark’s been in Taiwan—arriving June 8, the eve of Shavuot (in Greek its called Pentecost). Shavuot is an agricultural celebration of first fruits and commemorates God giving the Law on Mt. Sinai.

At Babel, God confounded the languages; at Pentecost, God gave the gift of tongues to the disciples who stayed obedient and had gathered together in Jerusalem.  Jews from every nation under heaven were gathered in Jerusalem and heard the mighty deeds of God in their own tongues.  The harvest of first fruits that day was 3,000 souls.  How fitting for Mark to be in Taiwan during the festival, studying, and working with others so those who do not yet have God’s Word in a language they can understand, will someday.  Pray for fruitful results.

Please keep praying for the necessary staff for the Japanese Sign Language Bible project and for adequate funding to salary them.
