Due to the many multi-language media gospel tools being produced and/or disseminated simultaneously, it is challenging to know what to mention in these short updates. This month we focus on one resource: The WAY of RIGHTEOUSNESS Radio programs in one great language: Chinese Mandarin—being produced in a dialect intended to reach and bless the largest Muslim-majority ethnic group in China. This TWOR series will be good for the rest of China as well, but for a number of reasons this project has dragged on for more than two years. Please pray. The cost is $20K. The translation and editing of the 100 programs are nearly complete and, Lord willing, the recording will soon begin. We recently received this note from the translation team in China:
We would like to thank ROCK International for the opportunity to work on this project. For the last 24 months, we have seen a much-tightened situation in China. It has taken much time in working not only on the scripts, but also in finding the right voice, to ensure that the presentation will be highly acceptable to the [people group it is designed to reach]. Our local friends commented that they were very glad to know that their people group is not being left out and that churches and [believers connected with] ROCK International are helping them to develop this radio series. … We understand that [such] resources for both believers and non-believers [in our people group] are very limited. Hence, we really look forward to the fruition of this production project and, God willing, the ground distribution of the programs afterwards. … As the situation in China gets more bleak over time (and now with the Wuhan coronavirus), we feel the urgency for the production work to be done. Our team hopes to start the recording soon.

In Senegal and Niger, God continues to do His work in lives through the faithful everyday witness of His servants. The New Hope Secondary School for Girls construction project in Tanzania has come to a standstill for the moment due to some unforeseen challenges that the local believers are working through. Pray for wisdom and the Lord’s provision to see this project to its finish line—and to its starting line, so the school can open. Thank you for your part and prayers in what God is doing through this channel of blessing called ROCK International.
