Prayer Update - Oct 4 2011

Thank you for praying! Last week we asked for prayer that God would grant the systems administration team His grace and wisdom in the task of reconfiguring the Door43 project to be better-able to support thousands of languages. We are glad to report that God has done just that! In the past week, we have been able to move far more quickly than we expected and the first phase of the project is now complete: Door43 is already running on the new server using the new configuration!

• Please continue to pray for the team as we continue the development process for Door43 - the next step is to configure Door43 so that we can efficiently manage the information about thousands of languages and provide optimal use of the site for speakers of these other languages. A lot of research needs to go into this part of the process!
• Please continue to pray for God's provision for this ministry - everywhere we look, we see open doors of opportunity. As mentioned last week, we have volunteers that are ready and able to move into full-time roles, but we do not have the financial resources available at the moment to bring them on. Please pray that God would provide all we need so that we can accomplish the calling He has given us.
• Open Bible Stories - Please pray for the video team in Indonesia as they work on developing the high-resolution video clips that will be used in the videos in every language. Also, please pray for the story-writing team as much of our time has been taken up with the server reconfiguration and other projects. We would really like to be able to finish writing the Open Bible Stories in English so that they can be used as the basis for translation into other languages.

Thank you for praying with us!
