His Grace Is Sufficient

by Edna Headland

We were shocked and, I must confess, angry when our own SIL colleague came and told us we would not be allowed to go to teach the course. He had checked into security in the area and said it was far too dangerous. I thought, Why can't we just trust God and go anyway? Once again, our dreams of seeing the Tunebo Scriptures in use seemed to be dashed to the ground. Time after time, Paul and Edna faced obstacles and disappointments. In each of these, God showed them His grace was sufficient to carry them through. His strength was made perfect in their weakness. Have you been discouraged with lack of results in your ministry? This story shows how God's grace is sufficient to carry you through the most difficult of circumstances. Whether it is waiting on God to see the results of your ministry, loss of a loved one, living in dangerous circumstances, or sending your children away to school, God will give you the strength to remain faithful to His call."

This book was of special interest to me as myself, my husband and our two kids lived at the Lomalinda Center for 3 months in 1980 and for a year in 1982-83. We met Paul & Edna Headland at Lomalinda and prayed for their work with the Tunebo Indians. This book tells the behind the scenes details of all that was entailed in 22 years of work forming a written language for the Tunebos (who had none), teaching them to read (making all the primers and books) and finally, translating the entire New Testament into the Tunebo language. It was incredibly difficult and frustrating work sometimes and yet Paul & Edna's utter reliance on God to help them through and successfully produce a Tunebo New Testament is so inspiring. God encouraged them to "keep on keeping on" through numerous miracles and signs. Want your faith built up? Read this book!
