The last day of the program and the beginning of farewells

The last day of the program started early in the morning, as usual. The team went to the last village where they presented the Gospel of Mark to the people. After the program, they went to school where they finished painting. A special program of thanks was prepared by the village people there, too. There was a ribbon cutting ceremony, and Pastor Pavel prayed a prayer of dedication.

They had dinner with the translation team in the renovated office. After giving the translators the notes from the Sunday School children in Zelenograd, Anya ran off to school for her last lesson. They had a farewell meeting with the translation team after lunch. Divine, the team leader, thanked the group for their work in the office, and for the computer lessons. Nick reminded them that the most important aspect of translation is not the technical part, but their attitude towards the process. Pastor Pavel reminded them that translating the Bible into their own language should change their lives, first and foremost. Please pray for the team of translators!
