Dear Prayer Team,

A number of you have written asking for an update on Bill's health.  Thank you so much for your prayerful concern.

He has had three chiropractic sessions now with Brent.  We thank the Lord for His provision through Brent.  Bill is feeling so much better now and is working normally.

On Tuesday, January 31st Bill will be flying to Negivi in the Gimi tribe by helicopter.  Lynne White whose husband John died of cancer in June 2011 returned to the field in December and she is going in to Negivi for 6 weeks together with a young family who are in the final stages of their orientation to missionary life in a cross-cultural situation.   Bill and Erwin, the young German who is working with HTS at present, together with Josh the orientating missionary will do repairs to the water supply and reinstall the solar panels and generator and whatever else needs to be done to get them all set up for their stay there.  Then they will fly back out on Thursday, February 2nd.

During this past week, two of the Gimi Bible teachers came out to work with Lynne on the lessons for 1 Corinthians.  One of them was Siri'o who worked with John on the preparation of the lessons.
He and Gibsen had gone through the working copies John had made and found all the errors which needed to be corrected.  Lynne worked with them on correcting the files of the lessons which John had stored on the computer.  Pray for Lynne as she helps the Gimi churches.  She is used to doing Bible teaching with the ladies, but working on the computer is something very new for her.  I have been able to help her with learning computer skills over the last few weeks.  I was thrilled to see how well she was doing working on putting the corrections into each lesson and then finding the next lesson stored in the computer when I went up to her house on Friday afternoon.  I wanted to take a photo of the three of them working together but it didn't happen.  What a pity.  These photos of Lynne and Siri'o I already have on file will have to do.

Your co-labourers,

Bill and Lynette Cottam
