Josh and Rebekah Rauch, along with their children, Reagan and Sami, are serving with JAARS (Jungle Aviation and Relay Service), a branch of Wycliffe Bible Translators. This organization has the vision of providing the written Word of God to every people group in their native language.
This past January, Wycliffe released the Moi New Testament (500 people in Asia), the Komi-Zyryan Bible (156,000 people in Russia), the Winyé New Testament (55,000 people in Burkina Faso), and the Kalinga, Pasil Guina-ang New Testament (10,577 people in the Philippines). Thousands of people now have God’s Word in their language due to the faithful service of people like the Rauches.
At the JAARS base in North Carolina, Josh provides valuable support working on the airplanes that carry much-needed supplies to missionaries around the world. He and Rebekah are still in the training process (including 4-wheel-drive off-road and motorcycle off-road training!) and will be until the end of June.
Please pray for them as God continues to grow them during this time and for an international trip that Josh has been chosen to be part of. Please also pray for Josh’s cousin Lindsay, recovering from a spinal injury, and for his extended maternal family on the passing of his Uncle Ike. Pray for continued health, strength, financial support, and grace as God continues to use them at JAARS.
