so is My Word that goes
out from My mouth: It will
not return to Me empty, but
will accomplish what I
desire and achieve the
purpose for which I sent it

For almost 300 language groups in Papua New Guinea, you cannot
say Look in here, its in the book! Why? Because with over 830
languages in the country, there are still language groups that havent
had a translation project started. To put that in perspective, Madang
Province comprises an area about the size of the state of Maryland in
the United States. Yet it has over 160 languages! In the picture
above, the Marik Language group from Madang Province has the
New Testament completed! Pray for the remaining language groups
in the Madang Province still needing a project and praise Him for the
Marik New Testament that is changing lives and impacting
communities. (Credit given for text and photograph Its in the book
The PNG Experience.)
We count it such an incredible blessing to work together with you in
partnership to reach the people of Papua New Guinea with the
transforming power of the Word of God in their heart languages. It
never ceases to amaze us the gift God has given us by allowing us to
be a part of the Wycliffe ministry of Bible translation. We are so
thankful for Gods calling on your life to do the same. Our efforts will
not return void!
We are only five months away from our intended departure date to
return to Papua New Guinea. Five months! Even though our hearts
are breaking because we are leaving Taylor and Tia here in America
to attend college, we are so excited to return to work and our home in
PNG. We have quite a long list of tasks we are working through in
order to return for the start of Miriam and Jades school year in July.
Would you pray for our preparations for our return? We are certain
that God will supply our needs as direct answers to your prayers.
Thank you for impacting our lives through your partnership!
For Gods glory alone,
Marty, Sara, Taylor, Tia, Miriam and Jade Driggers

Please pray for these needs:
Tia has significant scarring on her corneas from an eye infection while in PNG. Please pray for
complete healing.

hearts to be encouraged.
Please pray for communication in our marriage and family. We desire to honor God with our entire
lives!

encourage you as we watch God actively working to take us back to Papua New Guinea this July.
My God shall supply all your need Philippians 4:19 NKJV
