Bible translation is a long process, involving many different types of people with different skills and experience. One of the often overlooked steps of producing printed scriptures is that of typesetting, which is basically placing the text onto the pages of the book, ready for printing.
Steve Pillinger is a Wycliffe UK member who works as a typesetter – preparing newly translated scriptures for written publication.
As many of you know, I (Steve) have been suffering for many weeks now from a severe back problem. I’ve had to stay in bed a lot, and Johanna came up with an ingenious contraption enabling me to work flat on my back with monitor and keyboard poised over me. In this way I was able to continue working on the Chumburung Bible, despite being unable to sit for more than a few minutes.But last week the situation was completely changed by, of all things, a piano stool!

You can read on to discover how the piano stool has helped Steve to continue typesetting the Bible in the Chumburung language. Please pray for Steve, and also for the Chumburung people as they prepare to read the entire Bible in their language for the very first time!
