Grace Church of Rootstown
October 12th
Missionary Spotlight September 2025: Jim and Kathy Tanner 1. Jim and Kathy hit a milestone recently by completing the first draft of this book, “God is building a strong house (the Church).” It is written in Melanesian Pidgin English, and they translated it into plain English. Thank you for praying for this project. They will send it to Papua New Guinea for review and preparation for future printing. 2. Jim has been translating various things, first in the Elimbari language, then in Pidgin English, and finally in plain English, since 1976. This one may be the last. 3. Jim and Kathy are doing well health-wise, and they love their church and small group. He is a little over halfway through a program called Re-Generation. It has been an encouragement and has drawn the men’s group into a strong bond. 4. Jim has been trying to find a good resource for Bible lessons through the Gospels. He would like to provide good resources for the people in Papua New Guinea. 5. Their garden has done quite well this summer. Gardening provides them with both good exercise and nutritious food. 6. Praise God they celebrated our 59th wedding anniversary in July. “Thank you all who pray for us, love us, and support our ministry with gifts.”
