Prayer Request #3

Language Barrier. Our team will be serving among people that primarily just speak Bengali. To my knowledge no one on our team has any prior experience with Bengali. We will be receiving language lessons while we are there, however the language issue is certain to be a struggle throughout the trip. Please pray that our team will be quick to pick up on the language. Also pray that we will be able to have meaningful interactions with people in spite of the language barrier.

Hey Phil, I hope those language tapes are helping, although they probably don't seem like it right now.

Here's a site where you can download FREE Bangla software/fonts: Bangla Word. So after you become fluent in Bengali, you can write your posts with it!

But until you are infused with the Holy Spirit, here's a helpful phrase: Ami thik Bangla bolte pari na.
