OFFICE UPDATE
In last month's email we praised the Lord we were able to get a one year extension on our rental agreement.
We have since found out the landlord has sold the back part of the property. We are not sure what this means for the plot of land where our office is located.
Please continue to pray for this situation that God will lead and guide us. We have a couple of options open to us and still need to raise finances for this project.
Please be in prayer for this situation. For more information about the building please click HERE

Latest update about the Hmong Boua Bibles.
Unfortunately as the men where entering N. Vietnam from Laos this weekend the officials stopped them and confiscated the Bibles. Praise the Lord they let the men continue on after interrogating them.
What this situation clearly shows is the need to place a Publish4All (P4A) system within the country itself so that books don't have to be transported across borders.
As a result of this happening I have been in contact with the person responsible for the translation of Hmong Boua Bible and will be working together with him to place a P4A system within the country. That way we won't have this problem in the future.
To watch an interesting video about the P4A system please click on this link.
If you would like to help support projects like this please let us know. We are planning to place many P4A systems throughout this part of Asia

Dear Norm
This month we want to share some exiting news about the Print on Demand system donated to us last year from Publish4All.
We have been printing books for many different ministry organizations this year but want to highlight a book we printed just last week, the Hmong Boua Bible. This is the first time a Bible has been translated for this people group.
This Bible has been undergoing translation for many months and we had the privilege of printing it. In fact, as you read this email these Bibles (20 of them) are being transported to a neighboring closed nation by those that were involved with the translation.
Please pray that they are able to cross the border through customs and immigration without any problems. If discovered the authorities can do any number of things either to them or the Bibles.
Think of their excitement carrying the first ever Bible in their own language. Pray for those receiving these Bibles and be able to read God’s word in their own language for the very first time. Pray that they will be built up in their faith and be encouraged to share the Good News to their own people.
In related news, we are excited that our daughter, Crystal, will be joining us in October. She has already sold her house and car. She will be taking over the responsibility of managing the Print on Demand system. Currently she is looking for ministry partners to help support her in this ministry. She needs to raise $1,000 per month in addition to one-time expenses.
If you would like to encourage her and join with her, please send a check to the address listed on the left or click on the Donate button and indicate your intent.
We thank God for your continued prayer and support of our ministry here in Thailand.
Blessings,
Dwight & Mary Kay Martin
