July kept us up and about, physically active with affairs of our estate, and spiritually desperate in discerning the will of God for our lives! We weighed out the balances of continuing our ministry in Africa, returning to China to invest more in the ministry there, or perhaps moving on to another field.  As we prayed and sought His will, we were seeking signs from His Word, and practical signs as well. One verse we feel that the Lord spoke was “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. ” Phil 2:1. We believe that means He is giving us a choice as to which place we want to be physically located in order to continue our ministry in the near future.  A practical sign was that our visa request was finally approved, and we are now sorting out the beaurocratic   process which accompanies the said approval.  (The Lord is graciously giving Jorge great patience in order to do so! ) To sum it up, we are planning to spend some time in Macau and China at the end of this year, and then return to Kenya in the beginning of 2016. In Macau we have many legal issues to solve, people to visit and precious family members to spend time with. All in all, it has been a month of prayer, redefining our goals and vision, believing that any time in prayer is bound to bring forth its fruit in its own season.

During this past month a lot of social momentum revolved around the visit of the US president to Kenya. There were some inconveniences due to traffic restriction and heavy security measures. Overall, it seems all went well and life is now back to normal.

From the Webuye orphanage we received news that some of the kids came down with malaria. Our prayers and financial assistance were much appreciated.

Kenya waits for Obama…

Everyone glued to the tube. The Masai too.

We are glad to report a new height in audio downloaded: 11.3 terabytes. That is equivalent to 11 million audio chapter. Also, besides the pages that were read in simple page views, there were over 59 thousand full text Bibles downloaded from the different sites and our Android application. Wordproject Android App has been downloaded almost 100 thousand time and we have around 30 thousand current users of the APP. See stats HERE. On the site, there were some corrections, some broken links and even a whole language redone because of problems with the text. The users out there are our best proofreaders as they report to us the problems they find. Someone found out that our Thai Bible contained the titles for each passage along with the verses, thus, we had to redo the entire Thai Bible text. Also, some had been requesting for the Greek New Testament audio and text  in modern Greek, rather than old Greek. Therefore, we finally we able to get a hold of both and  place it on the site. Check here:

And

https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/gk/index.htm (New Testament Ancient Greek (TR) with relevant audio)

Not least, Gabriel put together the code for a new audio player that let us scroll the pages while the audio remains on the top of the page. This feature has been requested by many users and we are glad to be able to offer it to them. Also, a few minor design changes were introduced this month, wherefore we had to upload the whole site, some 70 thousand pages, all over again.

Not least, we were able to introduce red letter for Jesus speaking text, in several languages,  and Gloria gave us a very special contribution with her dedicated work on this.

We were glad to register wordproject growing popularity in India, where just last month our ranking raised to 46000 (from 59731). China is still a challenge and we ask for your prayers for a method to increase Bible outreach to that great nation.
