Please also pray for the distribution of God's Word to families and children at risk and for our outreach to teenagers using digital-format Bibles.

Philippines
Praise God for the launch of the Handwritten Unity Bible (HUB) project. Pray that it unites Filipinos under the banner of God's Word so that they may experience its transforming power.

Praise God for the two elections in this country. Continue to ask for wisdom for political leaders. Give thanks for the launch of the Dinka Padang and Shilluk translations.
