September 4 (Day 25) — Jesus promised that in this world we’d have trouble (John 16:33). Those who undertake the work of translating the work of Bible translation place themselves in the crosshairs of the enemy’s efforts to kill, steal, and destroy. Pray for the protection of the Aruamu, Somau Garia, and missionary personnel who give themselves to the Lord through following this call. Pray that Satan’s efforts to discourage and destroy will be fruitless. Indeed, Jesus also promised, “But take heart, I have overcome the world!”
