Here’s an update on the Uriay folks and how you can better pray for them!
Wobre - in Vanimo, heard the first 2-3 weeks of teaching perhaps and hasn’t been back since
Komnawe – attending daily, seems to be following but pretty quiet
Timoti (teen) – came at first but not really attending
Tyekob (teen) – has only heard a few lessons
Akusta (teen) – attends often but her attendance has dropped off recently
Tyoel (11) – definitely old enough to understand, periodically attends
Akaria (3) – there every day to scream her head off during the teaching time J
Tyob – really tracking well!
Fena – attending and very intent as she listens to the lessons, really quiet so it’s hard to get her to say what she’s thinking about all this
Nuafe (8 or 9) – attends daily but not sure what she’s thinking
Karoba (11)* - there occasionally
Makret (9)* - attending but has become rather sporadic in her attendance
Aki – Tyob’s mom – there daily and seems to be tracking but can’t get her to say openly what she thinks
Boni and Komayyo – neither one are attending, expecting cargo and things to just show up, we’re holding out on him by not showing him how to get all the cargo from his dead ancestors
Inok (11 or 12) – not attending
Dakruma (8) – sporadically attends with her cousins
Dona (6) – sporadically attends with her cousins
Diksen – has attended some and seemed really interested but has fallen off lately, in the same camp as his brother, Boni – waiting on the cargo
Edade – sporadic attendance
Sebeti (teen) – rarely there
Tyesi (10) – has heard very few lessons
Lubina (7) – occasionally attends with her cousins, but not enough to really catch it all
Fol - not coming, one of the other guys accused him of stealing tobacco so he doesn’t attend
Lusi – attends occasionally but has missed as many lessons as she’s heard
Nawiyem (widow) – sharp as anything! She’s missed a few lessons but she’s one of the ladies interacting in the lessons and ladies’ meetings! She’s so close!
Tyimi and Kristina – were there for the first week of teaching but have been in Kristina’s village, Busan for the rest of the lessons
Meyyo (widow) – there almost every day, she’s another quiet one that won’t really answer my questions as to what she’s thinking about the lessons, time will tell
Dina (teen) – sporadic attendance but has heard quite a bit
Terens (teen) – sporadic attendance but has heard a fair bit
Wilfet (9 but mentally slow) – there most days
Wekot (7) – there most days with her mom
Ame (widow) – she has been tracking so well – so keen to hear it – answering questions in the ladies’ meetings and asking them. Her daughter’s husband died in a nearby village so she’s missed the last two weeks of teaching and may miss the rest. Pray for a miracle here that she can come back and hear the rest of the story!
Kata (12) – there consistently when her mom was here in the village but she’s in the other village as well
Dominik (8) – in school in this other village, hasn’t heard any of the lessons
Tyeko (6) – was here but now in the other village
Paetrik – there most days but tends to skip out for fishing or gathering house posts, tracking well though
Tayna – same as her husband but she seems to be tracking well
Kilfet (6) – there but still too young
Fabel – has probably only missed one day in the whole three months! He’s keen to hear it and seems to be tracking wel
Imi- hasn’t missed a day, tracking REALLY well and hungry to know the truth! She actively participates in the lessons and ladies’ meetings – so close to understanding it all!
Tyefri (teen) – rarely in attendance
Erot (teen) – there most days, she’s sharp but not sure where she’s at for sure
Noma (7) – there with her mom almost every day
Albert – has helped with translation and checking Bible lessons but he’s very hit and miss in his attendance
Wabsa- there more consistently than her husband but a hard one to get talking about what she’s thinking!
Tyems – there daily, has missed some but he’s another one that’s keen to hear this and seems to be tracking really well!
Tabe – there daily and attends the ladies’ meetings too, very quiet but have had some neat talks with her
Stenli (19) – lives on his own – distracted by his sister’s baby out of wedlock and how that kept him from getting married – has hardly attended and isn’t getting the point as a result
Erik (teen) – sporadic attendance
Marina (11) – sporadic attendance
Mayyori (9) – sporadic attendance
Rems (7) – there most days
Aron (5) – there with his mom most days
Makay (18) – just had a baby but not by the guy she was promised to in marriage, so still single and living with her parents with the baby – there every day and often comes to the ladies’ meetings – seems to be tracking well
Makret (Tabe’s mom) – widow – there every day, quiet so we’ll see what happens in the days ahead
Maria – widow - very faithful in her attendance, tracking really well and eager to hear it all
Kiware (teen) – sporadic attendance but has heard quite a bit so far
Yabmu (8) – there most of the time
Aendru (19) – there most days, has missed a few for fishing, etc. He’s tracking well but he’s pretty proud and cocky right now too. Pray that the Lord can break through that pride.
Aywasi (teen) –not attending at all
Buti and Tariri - they’re in her home village – he’s not heard any of the teaching and she’s only heard about 10 lessons at most
his kids – Abram (teen) – sporadic attendance
Dara (11/12) – there just about every day
Eretia (7) – there most days
Her kids – Samaria (19) – in the other village with her mom and step-dad
Yurista/Yubet (teen) – in the other village
Dobeta (10/11) – in the other village
Ensel (7) – here and attends sporadically
Ambi – sporadic attendance, has been in another village the last week
Eren – very eager to hear, there every day and seems to be tracking really well but has missed the last week
Saylas- attends occasionally but seems to be in the same camp as his father-in-law, looking for stuff
Wenti – there more often than her husband, has missed quite a few lessons but still coming more often recently
Markus – attended rather faithfully at first but hasn’t come for the last three weeks or so
Mekrin – there daily and at the ladies’ meetings – she told she was hearing new things and she seems eager to hear but she’s also very quiet!
Aendrien – has hardly missed a day! He’s so keen and tracking really well. He’s probably surprised us the most because his brother falls into the disappointed with the missionaries’ camp and yet he’s there every day.
Kayne- don’t think she’s missed a day yet! She’s so keen and tracking really well – another one of those ladies that’s interacting and pondering how this affects her and her kids!
Dasti (12) – there most days
Naensi (8) – there most days
Silia (6) – there most days
Noel – missed the first two weeks but has been pretty faithful since. He seems to be tracking really well and keen to hear it.
Wekot – there every day although she missed the first couple weeks as well. She is answering lots of questions in the lessons and really putting things together well!
Lisa (4) – there but hard to tell what she’s really grasping
Stiben – there every day, he seems to be tracking but he would probably be one that would associate daily attendance with righteousness. Pray he grasps the real way to be righteous before God!
Dakruma – another of those sharp ladies that’s answering questions in the lessons and actively participating in the ladies’ meetings. She’s another one that’s really close to putting it all together!
Manay and Aketa - haven’t been in the village for any of the lessons
Manwel (has two wives) – not attending the teaching, he’s in Boni’s camp, disappointed with us missionaries because we aren’t pouring cargo out upon them day and night.
Mabe (first wife) – attends sporadically
Aysik (10) – attends occasionally and is almost more disruptive than attentive
Saylas (7) – rarely if ever attending
Bio (second wife and Mabe’s sister) – attends occasionally, more so than her husband or sister but has missed a lot too
Tyud (11) – not attending
Saenta (7) – there when her mom or cousins are occasionally
I think that’s everyone. Tyon Abe came from Busan last week and it seems like there will be open doors to Busan and Tudaw to share this message there too! Be praying for that – it won’t happen right away but we want them to hear it all too! A large number of the teens mentioned above are thinking about marriage so they seem to be super distracted with that and not focusing on the teaching. They’re waiting on Wobre’s return from Vanimo to arrange these marriages so they’re spending more time flirting and doing whatever the others are doing all together than attending the teaching.
