Missionary Spotlight

Missionary Spotlight, April 2026: Jim and Kathy Tanner

Retired from Papua, New Guinea

1. An old friend of Jim’s recently wrote a book that would be a wonderful resource for the Church in Papua, New Guinea and Jim has received permission to translate it. Pray that they will put the workbook on their list of translation projects for Papua New Guinea.

2. Praise the Lord, Jim is making some progress on the book he is writing about their lives. Keep praying!

3. Kathy has had a procedure done twice to help her with a chronic cough she’s had for many years, but they haven’t seen much improvement. Pray she will have the wisdom to continue the treatments or stop them.

4. The Tanner’s would like to take a trip to visit relatives, friends, and supporters in the next few months. Pray that God will open the door for them to do that.

They wish to thank you for your love, prayers, and faithful donations, which keep them going, as they have just turned 79 years old.
