We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your families. \n\n- Our team leader\u2019s wife is recovering slowly but surely from her open-heart surgery in November.  She is currently doing physical &amp; cardio therapy.  Pray for continued recovery.\n\n- Praise God that our team is able to do translation work this year under DOOR International! Our first task will be to complete the final draft of our ASL CBT translation of Jonah and get it approved, which we did this week!  Praise God! We\u2019ve been working on Jonah little by little for a long time, so it\u2019s exciting to finally be able to complete it. We are now in the process of filming the \u201cMore Information\u201d footnotes for Jonah. We hope to have the Jonah videos edited and ready to release by February for all of you to see!\n\n<strong>PRAY FOR OUR TEAM<\/strong>: \n- Long story short: Our team will be working under DOOR International, doing ASL CBT translations plus developing more resources for training deaf translation teams. Pray for DOOR International\u2019s leaders, as there are still a few complicated details that need to be resolved in order to ensure everything (finances &amp; logistics) will be in place for 2024.\n\n- We hope to add at least one more translator to our translation team.  Pray for God to provide and bring the right person for the job. \n\n- One team member will be flying out on January 8th for a 3-week trip to a South Asia country (name withheld for security reasons), to join a survey team collecting data about sign languages in that country.  Pray for a safe and successful trip for this survey team. \n\n<strong>PRAY FOR OTHER DEAF TRANSLATION TEAMS<\/strong>: \n- Please continue to pray for the Sign Langauge Translation Tool (SLTT), as they continue to figure out how to operate with the less-than-full funding they received for 2024. Many deaf teams rely on this program for drafting and getting video feedback, so it is crucial for SLTT to continue to grow to match the increasing need.   \n\n- Still no news about whether the Russian translation team will have funding to be able to continue working in 2024. Continue to pray for them to get funding. \n\nThank you for praying with us. God bless you, and Happy New Year! \n\nThe ASL CBT Translation Team\nRon, RuthAnna, Bobby, Tyler, and Stuart\n\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2023 DEAF LIFE CHURCH DAILY PRAYER REQUESTS<\/span><\/strong>:\n-Sunday \u2013 12 Deaf Life Church \u2013 Deafblind, Eau Claire, Iowa\/Nebraska, Faribault, Long Island, NY, Rochester, MN, St. Cloud, St. Paul, Salt Lake City (Future), Virginia Beach, VA, On-Line, and PVDA (ZOOM, Vimeo, and Facebook Live Stream)\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">-Monday<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Pastors, Lay Leaders, and their families \n<strong>-Tuesday<\/strong> \u2013 Board Members, Leaders, Teachers, and Workers\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">-Wednesday<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Financial Needs\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">-Thursday <\/span><\/strong>\u2013 People\u2019s Souls\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">-Friday<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 14 AG US and World Missionaries\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">-Saturday<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Protections:  St. Paul\u2019s Garage, Parsonage, Church Buildings, and Rooms at Hearing Churches\n\n<strong>EOM (End of message) <\/strong><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of January 8, here is the information: VERSE FOR THE WEEK: God has spoken plainly, and I<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","morenews-large":"","morenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"info":["DLC"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/?cat=1\" rel=\"category\">Uncategorized<\/a>","tag_info":"Uncategorized","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pftbrg-81","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=497"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":498,"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497\/revisions\/498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deaflifechurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
