	 <description><![CDATA[ <p>Thank the Lord with us that a language check earlier this month showed that Leigh and Lea Betts have made &quot;significant progress&quot; in learning the Karen language. However, they still need to do a lot of work to understand the Karen culture, and must keep learning the language. Please pray for good times of learning and building relationships.</p> ]]></description>

Three other believers are ready to begin learning to teach the Bible series.</p><p>&quot;This is a difficult step for Prais who have had no schooling and come from a culture where one does not take leadership,&quot; wrote missionaries Dave and Fran Jordan concerning their Prai co-workers.</p><p>Believers in two other villages continue to mature in Christ and are helping reach out to their fellow Prais. They have begun an outreach to a mountain village that is a long distance away. The hard trip up the mountain has made it difficult for the believers to be consistent in teaching evangelistic lessons and establishing others in the truths of God's Word. Dave, Fran and the Prai church have asked for prayer that someone would be available to live in the village and consistently teach.</p><p>Dave and Fran and their Prai co-workers continue to translate the Scriptures into the Prai language. They have also translated Prai reading and teaching materials which will allow them to teach evangelistic lessons in more remote areas.</p><p>Pray that the Prai believers will grow in the Lord and continue to reach others for the Lord. Pray for Dave and Fran as they translate God's Word into Prai.</p> ]]></description>

	 <description><![CDATA[ <p>Prai believers want the Scriptures but their cultural shyness is making the process more difficult. Missionaries Dave and Fran Jordan are looking for Prai co-workers who will overcome their shyness and give honest evaluations of the translation. Please pray that good co-workers will step forward.</p> ]]></description>
