ROCK Resources
Earth’s most linguistically diverse country, Papua New Guinea, with 837 tribal tongues, has a trade language called Tok Pisin (‘talk’ + ‘pidgin’), an English-based creole spoken by about half the population. Amid countless challenges, two ROCK colleagues traveled to PNG where, in six days, they were able to record the 3½-hour narration track for “KING bilong GLORI.” Excitement is now building among national believers and missionaries to find ways to share the movie in a nation where internet and cell phones are limited but slowly expanding.
Also, after a 3-month sea voyage from Northern Ireland to PNG, 9000+ KoG Pidgin picture books have just arrived in port. Pray for their strategic distribution to equip followers of Christ to present the foundations and framework of the gospel to those who have never understood it. All the books have already been spoken for.
A MAF pilot says he sees potential to plant 10,000 books a year across this topographically challenging land.

Yesterday we received this report from a former missionary to Mexico who now works with immigrants in one of Canada’s largest cities: “To be honest, it is a little overwhelming what God is doing – though I should not expect Him to do less! I use the REY de GLORIA movie & book with any Spanish-speakers willing to do a study with me. Last week, in a study-group with Cubans, as I am challenging them to put their trust in Jesus the Lamb of God, the young lady in the group speaks up and says, ‘Teacher! Believe me when I tell you that we all want to believe and trust Him!’ I was kind of stunned for a moment and then she goes around the table to each one present and says, ‘Do you want to know Him?’ Each indicated that they did, and a couple of the comments were, ‘The Bible explains the message of life and, yes, I want to know Him.’  Pointing to his Bible, another said, ‘The whole story flows from beginning to end and makes sense. Yes, I want to know Him!!’ I’ll start discipleship with them this week. And in another class where I teach English (using KoG), Luisa from Colombia tells her own story in this 3-MINUTE VIDEO (CLICK HERE) – Make sure the CC subtitles are on to understand her fully.”

ROCKids
God is at work through various ROCK projects on the African continent, but space only allows for this report from the New Hope Girls’ Secondary Boarding School in Tanzania: “We are taking the girls through KING of GLORY, which they are loving. What a joy to see these teenage girls, from a variety of hard backgrounds, growing in their understanding of God and His purpose for them, forming close friendships, studying, working, and playing together. They have planted hundreds of fruit trees and are already reaping vegetables from their gardens. We look forward to setting up a large chicken farm for the girls and staff to raise chickens for eggs and meat to both eat and sell. We estimate that within a year it will begin to make money and feed the students. This is one of many ways we are hoping to create sustainability for the school.”
