March 2022 Mission of the Month – Jim & Ginger Moore

Dear Appleton E-Free,
We are Jim and Ginger Moore. 25 years ago you sent us out to be missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators! Hard to believe it has been that long since we were sitting in your midst and a JAARS pilot came to speak about how many people groups in the world did not have God’s word in their language. He also spoke to us of Wycliffe’s need for computer personnel and God spoke to our hearts. Over the years, we have served in different places and different roles, all in support of the work of Bible translation. Please pray for all to have the Word in their language.
Jim presently works remotely from our home in NC in the area of digital publishing. This area of minis-try takes translated Scriptures and makes them available to local language communities all over the world through development of websites and phone applications. The focus is on languages that have little or no Scripture available in this form. In some languages, this is the only means of access to Scripture, as the Bible is not allowed in written form. The goal is to make God’s Word more readily and easily available to any language community. Due to the pan-demic, travel to areas of need have been restricted and the work of training locals has been done remotely, but face-to-face workshops are easier. Thankfully, things are opening up and a workshop was held recently in Cameroon. One is planned for Indonesia in July. Please pray for these workshops and for travel to resume.
Our family is well. Ginger retired from hospital nursing and volunteers at the JAARS clinic. Our kids are all married and away. Natalie and Francis are in England, Abby and Sam in SC, Mitch and Elizabeth in NC. We have one grandchild and one on the way. Being grandparents has been a delight! Please pray for all of us that we would love the Lord and walk closely with Him.
In closing, we would like to thank you as a church for your friendship, love and support these 25 years. We would never have been here without you! Prayerfully, we can visit you soon.

In Christ,
Jim and Ginger Moore
