Jurgen and Katja Hofmann serve in Madagascar, reaching out to the Tanala people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Give thanks that translations of Bible booklets are now printed and being shipped to Madagascar to distribute to equip churches to share the good news of Jesus in regional Malagasy languages. Ask God to give Jurgen wisdom in choosing the best way to distribute these booklets; he faces the challenge of persuading some church leaders that translations into regional languages is necessary. Many believe that the official national language is known by all, which is not always the case and people connect more to stories in their heart language. Pray that the church leaders will come to understand this need and be willing to distribute the booklets to those hungry for them in their churches and communities.

Jurgen and Katja Hofmann serve in Madagascar, reaching out to the Tanala people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  They are returning to Madagascar today after being on Home Assignment in the Netherlands. They have had a busy time travelling to see friends and supporters and presenting at partnering churches about their ministry. Pray that God will sustain them as they travel today and as they resume their work in Madagascar. Pray for financial provision and a good balance of ministry and rest.
