EPC has been supporting the Wieneckes for many years as they have served the cause of Bible translation. Ken is working on a special project that provides computer tools for people who translate the Bible into languages that do not use our letters. Here is a note he just sent to us:Friends,
It's a long story that I hope to cover in the next Wienecke Wire (coming Real Soon Now), but I am flying to Denver in about 3-1/2 hours. I'll stay there for one week, and the primary purpose of the trip is to meet with a man who is very graciously willing to help mentor me as I climb a very steep learning curve. He is a Christian (even the youth pastor of his church), and quite the expert in (warning: impending geek-speak) the JavaScript programming language and use of the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) component library.
The development of the ScriptSource web application has advanced to the point of needing to use this language and these components, but I am very much an old dog learning a whole repetoire of new tricks.
Please pray for trip safety and quality time with Jacob. Pray also for Katy and the kids as they stay behind in North Carolina. Pray for Jacob's wife and baby, that God will fill the gaps for her as Jacob spends a weekend and his evenings tutoring me (since he already has a full-time job). Pray that Jacob and I will be able to build the software elements needed by ScriptSource, or at least that I come back home knowing how to do it. Praise God also for the several friends and ministry partners who are facilitating and encouraging me while I'm there.
Ken Wienecke
