Bruce and Jan seek to build relationships with African diaspora in the UK as part of the Borderless team. In his role as a Bible translation consultant, Bruce is soon to be checking the book of Romans for the African translation team that he supports. This long and theologically rich letter is one of the most challenging portions of Scripture to translate well; please pray for wisdom and insight as he goes through it verse by verse over the coming months. He has also just started a small research project exploring ways in which UK churches could be more welcoming towards those who speak English as their second, third or fourth language. His supervisor is an African theologian who has extensive experience in this area, so that is a real blessing. Jan was really encouraged by the freedom with which she was able to share about the true meaning of Easter in recent English conversation classes. In one class, a student simply said, ‘We don’t know what Easter is all about. Please tell us.’ Lesson by lesson, home visit by home visit, the women’s understanding is growing and barriers to faith are slowly being removed. Please pray that the Lord would continue to supply Jan with patience and perseverance as she journeys alongside these women at the Holy Spirit’s pace.
