Return to the Philippines

We praise the Lord, that our daughter, Heidi Guttesen, had successful brain surgery in November of 2019. Since early 2020, JJ and I have tried unsuccessfully, due to covid restrictions, to return to the Philippines. We recently were told that it may be late 2022, before travel restrictions will allow us to return and travel to the many remote locations, where Bible translation checking is needed. We daily work via email, to check each missionary’s progress and edit their work, but a “face to face” check is needed with local native speakers, to make sure the missionary's translation communicates well. We will attempt to do this via Skype in the next few months. Please pray that the situation will improve in the Philippines and that they will allow us to return soon, with permission to travel to all the regions necessary. Pray also please, for Bible translators to have the wisdom and stamina to complete this daunting task. Thank you for praying! In Him, JJ and Cathy Rasmussen
