Our financial support; our trip to Croatia

We are so grateful to you all for your prayers for us and your faithful financial support! We wanted to mention that, due to increases in the cost of living (health insurance, vision and dental insurance, groceries, utilities, car insurance, and other car expenses, etc.), we now lack $2,000 per month to have our full monthly support pledged. If you would like to donate as a one-time gift or monthly, you can give here via the link below or using the information at the bottom of this page.

Watch on YouTube: last year’s on site report from Croatia

Yesterday we bought our tickets for Todd, Pamala, Daniel, and Ariela to go to Croatia for our summer outreach, June 10-20, 2026. We are speaking each weekend at supporting churches, inviting people to join us. We’d like to have firm commitments by the end of April.

We still do not have anyone else committed to joining us on the trip, but after speaking with our teammates in Croatia, they said they would still love to have us come. We will adjust the type of outreach we do to best accommodate the size of our team.

Please pray for these specifics:

  1. Pray for Pam as she writes the curriculum and schedule for the summer outreach, to know which activities to include and for insight to write the Bible stories.
  2. We normally do ministry in two Roma villages in Croatia, and the team needs wisdom on whether to add a third village. It is larger than the other two, speaks both of the Roma languages we work with there, and yet we have not had ministry there before. Our teammates will be visiting the village and exploring options for ministry there. We have Roma friends who have family in that village.
  3. We now have films about the life of Christ in both languages used in the villages, Bayash and Ludari. Pray for wisdom and open doors to use these films for evangelism, so we can reach adults as well as children. Pray we can get permission to show the film in the community center.
  4. Pray for the Lord to provide the other summer teamers that he wants to join us. We normally have at least 4 others come with us. The cost is $1,000 per person, plus airfare (which is around $1,500 per person). We have recently been speaking at churches in Oklahoma and Iowa, and at Calvary University’s prayer meeting to recruit. Let us know if you or someone you know is interested in joining us.

Thank you for your prayers! Below are a few new pictures, including Pam’s birthday celebration earlier this month, one of our visits to see my mom in Oklahoma City, a picture of Daniel when he visited our teammates in Croatia, and also our teammate Nikola after he and the other translators received training to record and produce the Jesus film in their languages.

Blessings in Christ,

Todd & Pamala

Pictures from Daniel’s trip to Croatia

Thank you for praying for Daniel during his trip to Croatia! He is back safe and sound, and when asked to describe the trip, he told us: “It was all amazing!”

The team of 31 that Daniel went with managed to get a ton of work done. Their main goal was to complete as much of the finishing work as possible to help bring the church’s halfway house (for kids transitioning out of the Croatian foster care system as adults, and for single mothers) closer to opening for business. The team expected to finish one or one and a half floors, but ended up finishing all three! They laid flooring, installed lights, and installed some tiling.

Additionally, they landscaped the church’s backyard, added storage containers and a walking path, and upgraded the church’s video recording system for their worship services. Below are many pictures of Daniel and the rest of the team. Thank you again for your prayers and financial support for Daniel!

Daniel in Croatia; summer team wanted; translation progress

Seeing Daniel off at the airport in Kansas City

DANIEL IN CROATIA: We are so proud of Daniel, who is in Croatia for 10 days working with a team to help finish a halfway house being built by the church we attended in Croatia (where he was baptized when we lived there)! He is working hard to lay flooring, run electrical work, and whatever else is needed as he has joined 30 others from Kansas City and Nashville for this work team. We’re thrilled that he can use the skills he’s been learning on the job as a contractor here in Kansas City. Thank you to each of you who donated generously to send him on this trip and who are praying for him.

WANTED: SUMMER TEAM FOR CROATIA: Speaking of Croatia, we are still in need of 4 or more volunteers to come with our family, June 10-20, to Croatia to run a Vacation Bible School and tween/teen day camp for Roma. The cost is $1,000 per person, plus airfare which is usually around $1,500 per person. Those who join this 10-day outreach will lead Bible songs, act out Bible stories in skits, assist with crafts, and play organized games with the children. During the teen camp, the men will preach a sermon, and the women will share their testimonies, both through translation. Ideally, we have found that those aged 18-late 20s are the best fit for the team. We also need an older adult to cook for the team. Those under 18 who are accompanied by a family member or an adult sibling have done a great job and are welcome to apply.

UPCOMING NEW TESTAMENT DEDICATION: We are excited that the New Testament has been completed and printed in the Serbian Arli, Gurbet, and Chergash languages! We (Todd & Pam) will be going to Serbia in April for the dedication and distribution of the NT in these three languages. We are proud of our translation teams and look forward to being with them and rejoicing with them in this milestone!

Above: Gurbet team (Maki, Goran, Emrush)
Below: table of contents, text, maps

TRANSLATION PROGRESS: In these three languages, we are also making good headway in the OT, currently in 1 Samuel.

And in Macedonian Arli, we recently completed the consultant (quality assurance) check to approve Luke for print, which is the 6th language in which I have helped complete this gospel.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and financial support that makes all this possible!

Now published! Four years in the making. The New Testament newly printed in Arli, Gurbet & Chergash

The picture above represents the culmination of years of work: a newly printed New Testament in three new languages. How we rejoice at this milestone! The shipment arrived at our translators the other day, and here is what one of them said:

“Today, we are witnesses of something great. We unloaded from the delivery truck 7,000 copies of the New Testament in three Roma dialects: Arli, Gurbet, and Chergash.

After four years of work, prayer, and sacrifice, glory belongs to God that today we can see the fruit. What brings even greater joy than just the translation is that God’s Word is being used and is alive among the Roma people. This is the true success.

Soon we will have the dedication and distribution of these New Testaments, when we will together thank God and rejoice in what he has started and what he continues to do. May God’s Word spread, change hearts, and bring life. All glory to God!”

In these three languages, we are making good progress in translating the Old Testament as well, currently in 1 Samuel.

OUR CURRENT PROGRESS IN EUROPE:

New Testament: completed in Arli, Gurbet & Chergash
Old Testament: currently in 1 Samuel in Arli, Gurbet & Chergash
New Testament: currently in Luke in Macedonian Arli
New Testament: most of NT is complete in Aromanian
New Testament: ready to begin in Montenegrin & Bayash

We are super excited to announce that this month, we will restart the work of translating the New Testament into the Bayash language. As many of you know who have followed us over the years, we translated 50 chronological Bible stories and the Gospel of Luke in 2018, but were unable to continue on with the rest of the NT due to a lack of translators. We now have the needed translators!

This language, Bayash, and a related language, Ludari, are spoken in the villages where we hold Bible clubs each summer. Please pray for a team to come with us this summer:

“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few”

This Sunday, I had the privilege of preaching at one of our supporting churches, The Road Church, in Grain Valley, MO. I wanted to share the audio link here in case you would like to listen. The sermon explores Matthew 9:35-38 and explains several challenges we face in Bible translation.

Thank you so much for praying for us and for the great need for more laborers to translate the Bible!

Family pictures and some encouraging words

All the kids were home for Christmas. Back row (L-R): Daniel, Matthew, Timothy, Elizabeth (Sell), Stephen (Sell), Jonathan. Front row (L-R): Kirsten, Todd, Pamala, Ariela

As 2025 draws to a close, we send you our love and greetings. Here are some pictures of the family and our Christmas festivities, a short Bible translation update, and a few messages from the Scriptures.

Bible translation stats: In 2025, Todd led quality assurance (consultant) checks covering 6,298 verses across 11 books of the Bible in four languages.

Bible translation testimonial: The Macedonian Arli translation team shared this testimony: “In a group of five Arli people, they were comparing the Macedonian Bible with the new Arli translation. They saw it agreed well with the Macedonian Bible but by the end of studying the Scriptures from the Arli translation, they said it reads more naturally for them and that it had richer meaning and depth than the Macedonian Bible for them as well. [In another church …] the translators visited to do a presentation about their project. When the people heard and read the Arli translation, they were surprised that the Bible could sound so clear. And they rejoiced that they could hear the Scriptures in their heart language.”

Bible teaching on Philippians and the Psalms: Todd has had the privilege of teaching adult Equip Hour (Sunday school) at church. You can find these messages at https://www.crosswaybible.org/equip/speaker/u/4/dr–todd-price.

Sermon, “Perfect Love Casts out Fear” (on 1 John 4:15-21): You can watch Todd’s sermon at https://www.youtube.com/live/1j7RxdsMR1Q?si=MqkKBnIAaA3hjAVM&t=1577 (beginning at 26:17). Also, enjoy the Christmas worship music before and after the service where Pamala sang with the worship team.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and financial support for Bible translation for the Roma of former Yugoslavia!
