Jason and Angie Bechtel Bringing Hope to Unreached People Groups 
How has the New Year been treating you?
For me it has been an exercise in jumping in with both feet. Last weekend Angie and I had the opportunity to get away for a married couples retreat at Joy Bible Camp near Bancroft. You can read about that adventure here: http://blogs.ntm.org/jason-bechtel/2010/01/13/laugh-your-way-through-marriage-retreat/
This weekend I am driving to Florida with two co-workers for a week of meetings. We really do appreciate your prayers. Safety on the road is one need, a profitable week of meetings is another. While I am gone Angie and the girls are going to spend some of the week with her parents.
I continue to squeeze in time for the Lauje Tribal Bible. It is supper exciting to think that later this year the Lauje people of Indonesia will have the New Testament in their language for the first time. Praise the Lord with us that the funds for the printing of this New Testament have already come in. If you are interested in helping fund other Tribal Bibles (or maybe your church is) please let me know! Please be praying for me as I continue to format the Lauje New Testament. There is so much potential for a slip of a finger and a letter being added in or taken out!
Angie and the girls have all had minor colds in the last couple of weeks. Praise the Lord that this has all been minor. Please be praying that both girls start sleeping better so that Angie and I can sleep better too (I know, we are selfish!)
In cause you were wondering which prayer card was the most popular, option #1 ended up with a significant lead over my (Jason’s) personal favourite! Don’t worry, my feelings aren’t hurt (that much).
Oh, and Lorelei is officially sitting up on her own now. She still is prone to “tipping over”, but for the most part she has this mastered. Yay Lorelei! Please continue to pray for Angie and I as we raise these two gifts from God. We really want to live lives in step with God which our girls want to model their lives after.
Please check out this video on our website: http://blogs.ntm.org/jason-bechtel/2009/12/31/dagamee-does-your-heart-hurt-too/
Dagamee, a baby-Christian in the Moi tribe of Indonesia, explains: “The Creator God is our true Father and we look to Him to meet our needs — our hunger, our wounds, our hunting. For things big and small we cry out to the Creator.” Angie and I are also keenly aware of God’s blessings in our lives. He went to Calvary for our greatest need, and continues to care for us, even down to money for our hunting trips to the grocery store!
Angie and I feel so privileged to have a part reaching , and others like him around the world, with the Good News about Jesus Christ. All of you who are supporting us, either in prayer, financially, or with much needed encouragement, are also helping the Gospel go where it has never been before!
Millions unreached, none unreachable.
Jason for Angie, Delena and Lorelei too
