When Things Don’t go as Planned
Things don’t always go according to plan — and that’s usually viewed as a bad thing. So when I tell you that is what happened with the Manjui New Testament, you might be ready to despair.
Not According to Plan
And it’s true. Things did not go according to plan. The Manjui New Testaments did not arrive at the specified time, and the trucking company that delivered them changed their shipping fees after the delivery had taken place.
But really, don’t despair!
Instead of arriving on schedule, the Manjui New Testaments arrived two weeks earlier than the publisher promised. And the change in shipping fees? When they learned it was Bibles being shipped, the company dropped all charges for the shipment.
The Ultimate Plan
“We continue to praise God for each little miracle as He works toward seeing the Manjui get His Word in their language!” wrote Bible translators Gordon and Nancy Hunt. “We are looking forward … to taking the Bibles out to the Manjui community and celebrating with them on May 17. The Manjui believers are as excited as we are that God’s Word is all in one book now and can’t wait to have a copy in their hands.”
Things don’t always go according to plan. Sometimes they go better! Please pray for Gordon and Nancy as they work out the details for the upcoming celebration on May 17.
