Phil and Shelley Svoboda

The people of South East Asia will soon have an opportunity to hear the Gospel message.

Phil and Shelley Svoboda have been approved by their brothers in Christ to translate Scriptures into the tribal language.

The elders of a South East Asian church -- The Church of God's Word -- took responsibility for the Svobodas who are affiliated with them and agreed that they should move into a village and work among the people. In an unprecedented action the leaders enthusiastically showed their approval of the couple. The whole group unanimously shouted, "Amen!" This is very unusual in this quiet and subdued culture.  "We are encouraged by their involvement and desire to see their own people reached with God's Word, and last week was a big step in that direction," wrote Shelley.

Pray that the missionary team to the South East Asian people will remain diligent in studying culture and language and that they will build close and strong relationships among the people.
