Dawn works to reach unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands with the gospel.

Dawn’s platform ministry is working with mother-tongue language resources. Up until now this has mainly been teaching literacy and numeracy to women with little or no formal education. However, Dawn is actively involved in hands-on work in a strategy to get more biblical resources into Island languages in different media forms.

Dawn works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. On her travels to another island last month, Dawn was able to be part of a training and consultant check for another New Testament book that her colleague had worked on. While he is away, she plans to continue with some Old Testament work and might be involved in checking a draft epistle translation. Both of her testers have significant health needs themselves or among family members, but she hopes to be able to continue testing drafts regularly. Please pray for Dawn and her team as they seek to bring the word of God into the heart language of more peoples, so that they can know Him.

Praise God for progress in the Bible translation project, and for the local believers who continue to meet together once a week.

Please pray for team health and energy levels, and that their vehicles will work well so that their ministries can continue.

Pray for her as she resumes relationships, settles into a routine again with translation/testing drafts, teaches local language and embroidery, and interacts with the local church, after recently returning from leave. Ask the Lord to heal her island friend Yvette, who is receiving medical treatment on the mainland.

Indian Ocean Islands

These beautiful tropical islands are 99.9% Muslim and for security reasons we refer to this area as the ‘Indian Ocean Islands’ rather than naming individual islands. Islam is deeply rooted on these islands and to be an islander is to be a Muslim. There are a small number of believers on each island but many follow Jesus secretly for fear of rejection and persecution.
