Kannada New Testament Proofreading Stage 2

On the 29th of July 2024, the second stage of the Kannada New Testament Proofreading began. Two weeks before, the first stage started and was completed on time. As my experience was for the first stage, my experience of the Lord was the same in the second stage too. I had been praying daily in my personal prayer life for this particular task at hand. I did not know how things would go by. I had no idea how we were going to make it through again, not basing my confidence on what was accomplished in the previous stage. Therefore, the best I could do was, pray, pray and pray.

Surprisingly, in the second stage, we could complete the project much earlier than expected. So, we released many of the volunteers a few days before the two full weeks were completed. But I became much busier than I expected. In fact, I planned to take a week off to go home but I had to cancel that plan as I felt I could not neglect my responsibilities. Every day, I got busy with one work or the other. Even for my own Bible reading and prayer time, I had to struggle to take time out by adjusting it with many other things. Besides, on the third week, a PSRP session started every morning for two weeks. Since I decided to attend the PSRP too, my schedule became even more tight. Come what may, the Lord still enabled me to have time for personal morning revival, Bible reading, prayer, attending Life-study reading, and family prayer every night. Where there is a will, there indeed is a way. 

During the first and second stages, we also took some of the volunteers out for dinner, to cherish them for their voluntary labor. And all the serving ones were given the best hospitality and the best food service we could offer. Thank the Lord for His grace.

Finally, when the second stage was over, most of the work was over and most of the volunteers left, as we did not need more manpower for the final stage. Praise the Lord for His leading all throughout the first and second stages for four weeks.

The same announcement for the first was given for the second stage when we finally completed the second stage.
