August was definitely a month of celebration! A month in which to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God in keeping His promise to never leave us nor forsake us!

The month started us off celebrating Joana’s 23 birthday! Through the years we have watched Joana blossom into a beautiful and talented young lady. She is on the threshold of graduation from university, finishing her degree in Communications within the next few months. We also celebrated Jason’s birthday on the 23rd, who received a nice gift sponsored by his brothers and sisters *(see picture), and Jorge’s birthday on the last day of the month. All  filled with happy moments with lots of heartfelt wishes and emotions.

Gloria attended the Orientation Week at Macau University where she begain studying Biomedicine. She is now enrolled at the Uni together with Ben and Joana, each in their own respective faculties.

The month of August was definitely marked by the appearance of Typhoon Hato. One of the strongest typhoons on record, Hato hit Macau full force on August 23^rd, Jason’s birthday. In fact, as we sat in our living room listening to the wind howl at app. 12:30 pm, we were commenting that it was the actual time of Jason’s birth! We were in calm discussion with our neighbors, who by the way had to flee their home as the roof blew off above their heads, until we heard the glass shattering in the upstairs area. The gale winds had found a way in and had lifted the glass doors off their railings, smashing the glass and hurling debris inside and outside the house.  Thank God no one was upstairs when the glass broke…

Hato devastated Macau, killing 12 people, injuring at least 244 and left the city without water and power for days. Winds over 220kmp were recorded and an enormous serge level which caught the territory by surprise and flooded many areas of downtown and outer islands, including the village of Coloane. The city faced a severe challenge in removing huge piles of waste from the streets, with 2,600 tones of debris collected on one day alone. There was an amazing volunteer spirit in cleaning the city, from students to expats to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army!

Thanks to Jorge, Gabriel, Joana, Ben and Jason we were able to clean up our home and the neighborhood in a few days. Jorge repaired the broken door and boarded up the windows upstairs. The boys went to Eman and Mandy”s flat to cover the 5 broken windows there. It was all out teamwork!

Four days later, tropical storm Pakhar brought heavy rain and light winds on Sunday the 27^th. Thankfully, not much damaged was caused. The city of Zhuhai was relatively calm, after Hato had left its path of destruction a few days earlier. We continue to pray as there is another tropical storm in the area, ready to hit landfall somewhere in the next few days……

For He commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof….He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Psalm 107:25,29

The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runneth into it and is safe. Pr 18:10

In August a new audio downloads high of 12.6 million GB, or approximately 12. 56 million chapters was reached. With a daily average of over 35000 users we can say that the world is interested in the Word of God, the main service or product we have to offer. In India we rank 13,979 in Alexa’s website ranking. According to their definition:  “The rank by country is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors to this site and pageviews on this site from users from that country over the past month. The site with the highest combination of visitors and pageviews is ranked #1 in that country.” In Brazil we rank 18,746.

Although these stats are not precise, there is no way they could be, even as because some countries have filters in their internet systems that do not allow foreign access to their stats – in China, for example,  we have a strong presence, however we seldom see much stats coming from there. Google analytics does not supply stats from China, just because it cannot.

Besides our direct outreach, our indirect outreach is very encouraging. We receive constant requests for permission to use our materials, and scores of others just use it without permission as they are encoureged to do in our disclaimers. Others just report problems or suggest improvements. Thus, our site is very much alive with constant interaction from users and developers. Here are some of the latest comments from our mailbox:

“I am desperate for English – Farsi Old and New Testament Bibles for the ICC – International Christian Consulate based in Athens helping the Christian refugees. Your Wordproject is wonderful but I can’t see a way of downloading or printing out everything together. I look forward to your help.” T.O.

Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. May God  bless you so much for the work you have done for us to get a Luganda Bible translated from the preserved Word of God (KJV). I have been translating Bible study lessons from English into Luganda for 13 years now. I would love join your team if I can help in any way. I feel so blessed after reading today your Stetment of Faith. I’m a Pastor of Equator Baptist Church in Uganda. Bless you! J.  Uganda

What a wonderful site, may God bless what you do! I would like to know precisely which written version of the bible I should get, to match  the German audio bible and the Latin Vulgate NT. What particular year, version, edition of each will match precisely the German Deutsch audio bible and the Latin Vulgate NT….? Thanks / S.S.

 I noticed your message that copying text and placing links is alright to do without permission.  My question is may I copy audio (from English Bible books) onto CDs and give these CDs to people in my church. Also may I give these CDs to the general public.  These CDs will be given away freely with no cost. The CDs will only contain audio from your site, nothing will be added.
Lastly I cannot express how wonderful your resources ares for those trying to reach out toward Christ around the world.  How do I donate to your site ?  Thanks in advance for your response.  G.B.

Web Stats: monitoring users of our main site.

Our online App has reached the 200000 downloads mark (for PT and EN, together). Athough a far less number of people actually uses the APP, as not everyone that downloads an App ends up keeping it, we are still pleased and feel blessed to be able to offer to so many people around the world such an easy and simple way of reading and listening to the Bible . We receive daily short and encouraging words from users. Here are just a couple of comments we selected this month:

“This application is Fantastic just what I wanted, but I have a question what changes between audio download and listen to them directly from the application? That is if your listening directly without downloading Internet use my data? Or I can listen without downloading audio without thinking of the Internet data consumption?” L.C. – Italy

“This is great,  I love this app cause it has our own language,  Hope you create more features and thank you…….. God Bless you” – S.R. –  India

“Hi. God bless you for your project. The app is good, has no distracting ads and it’s free. I’d like to encourage you to add more audio features, like audio speed control, playback buttons to skip forward /backward one verse, playback controls on the lockscreen; basically features available for podcasts apps.  Keep up!” – UK.
