It’s exam week at Mekane Yesus Seminary! These ten students are the first cohort of the new Master of Arts in Bible Translation program sponsored by Lutheran Bible Translators.

Most of these students are currently working in Bible Translation projects around Ethiopia. This week they are finishing up their first summer of classes, expanding their previous knowledge, and learning to apply what they have learned to future translation work. The class has three more summers to go before they graduate, plus January intensive classes, and an MA Thesis project.

Please pray for these students, their teachers, and their ongoing work to help bring the Word of God to the 85 languages of Ethiopia.

Father God,
During this exam week, we lift up every student into Your loving hands. Grant them wisdom, clarity, and peace as they study and prepare. Help them to focus, retain what they’ve learned, and approach their exams with confidence, knowing that You are with them every step of the way.

Lord, calm any anxieties and give them the strength to persevere through any challenges they face. May they do their best, trusting in Your guidance and grace.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
