Winter 2026
Marty and Glenna Sollenberger
Happy New Year! We are grateful for the privilege of serving God in the ministry of Bible Translation. Thank you so much for being a part of it through your prayers and financial support.
Bridging the digital divide
In Southeast Asia, a colleague was gathering all the historical Scripture translations to convert them into formats for new technologies. He couldn't find one particular New Testament because it had been completed in the 1970s when Scriptures were only produced in printed form. "Turns out," he reports, "someone had scanned it and put it in [the archives]." It is now being converted into digital text with the hope that it can be used on smartphones very soon.
Marty enjoys his work in Archives. He created digital audio files to preserve cassette recordings of Scripture in several languages of Southeast Asia. He is currently scanning printed materials in other minority languages.
Glenna continues to work at Dallas International University. DIU is a truly global hub of learning. We now offer in-person courses in Indonesia, Uganda, and Brazil through our partnerships with other schools and organizations. We are excited to prepare people to serve in a variety of ministries, including Bible translation.
Personal updates: Praise and prayer
By God's grace, Glenna completed her cancer treatment with no serious side effects. Her latest scans show no sign of cancer. We are so grateful for your prayers and support during the challenges of the past year.
Marty's new medication for diabetes is working well. However he continues to have issues with getting adequate sleep. We would appreciate your prayers for his health.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support in our ministry with Wycliffe Bible Translators!
