Jason and Angie Bechtel Bringing Hope to Unreached People Groups Here is a recent update from the primary translator, Barrie Williamson:
News from Lauje continues to be encouraging. There were 20 more baptisms at Ogoalase in mid-January! News from Jason Bechtel in Canada is encouraging as well. The work of the layout of the Lauje New Testament is drawing to a close. It has been exciting to work from here online via Skype with Jason. He is really doing a fabulous job and I have every confidence that the finished product will portray that excellence and bring much praise and honor to the Lord.
Two weekends ago, I once again had the privilege of taking our church ladies group to “the big house” in Kitchener for our own little ladies retreat. It was great fun, as usual, but it was extra special for me because two of my very good friends from our time in training at NTMC were able to join us. One of the girls is on staff at our sister school in Missouri. She was able to come as our guest speaker and did a great job of getting us into the Word and opening up to each other. The second friend attended our church when she was in the training so I snuck her in! 
It was a bittersweet time as I had a fun time with her, but I’m going to miss her as her and her family head off to the Philippines this month! Her whole family actually came down for the weekend, so Jason and the girls were with the rest of her family.
