Madi Work Session in Madang

The Madi translation team is just finishing up a two week work session in the nearby town of Madang. It is often very beneficial to the work to take the translation team out of the village context and hold a couple weeks of focused work time. This is one of those focused work sessions where they are working on the back translation of Joshua 1-10. It is exciting to see the Word of God being translated and to see the team members grow into their role as translators.

Some computer issues came up during this particular work session and so I was able to go down to Madang for the day to resolve the problems. This is outside of my regular routine so it was nice to go to a different place and see first hand some of the translation work we help facilitate.
