Tim Curtis is supported by SAMS (The South American Missions Society) to work with the Anglican Church of Paraguay.
Tim is training and working with three EnXit translators (Juan, Asuncion and Martin) on the second phase of the project to translate the Bible into the EnXit language. They work from Spanish translating to EnXit.
Asuncion is one of the Enxit translators. The use of modern laptop computers and special programmes produced by the Bible Society has made it possible to work much more efficiently in the translation of the Scripture.
Chris Rigg is the Local Secretary for SAMS at All Saints’ South Cave.

CMS Mission Links
We have two special links with CMS with Judy Acheson is working with the Anglican churches in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The country is struggling to establish law and order within its borders after years of disorder and private armies. Judy is working with the Dioceses there to promote reconciliation especially among the young people.
Judy is in the process of handing over her work to Bisoke Balikenga, a DRC national, who has been working with her for a number of years. As a church we have already begun to support Bisoke who came with Judy on her last visit.
Judy Marston (Tel 01 430 471093) is All Saints’ representative to keep in touch with Judy Acheson and Bisoke.
