WP Progress – October

It is amazing to find out how people, from all corners of the earth, are so interested in the word of life, the light of the world, the way of Salvation. When lies and deception seem to be becoming the ‘new normal’, it is encouraging to see that more and more people are searching for the free, true and faithful Word of God. Revelation 21:6 – “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”

The following comments will tell you where we spend a great part of our time each month. We frequently receive requests for repair, improvement and amendment of text and audio on our site, and when dealing with almost 70 languages this can become a huge task.

Thanks for your Bible reading website. I use the multi view on my phone for language studies. It is very nice, but I would like if it could remember which chapter I was reading. Every time the browser choose to reload it jumps to Gen. 1. Is it possible to remember the chapter e.g. by setting a cookie when selecting the chapter. Regards, S.

I work among Iranian – Farsi speaking people in Denmark. I experience that some have Bibles with to much storytelling language instead of exact translation. Therefore I found your translation, which is very solid and good (THANK YOU!!). My question now is if you know if anyone have made it available in print – or if it only exists at your webpage. K.S.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and selfless  ministry for the word of God. Dear friends our God will increase you more and more. I thank God for all of you. If i can do something for our god with you, kindly remember me. God bless you. G.K. 

I want to know more about Jesus. I am trying to study “New Testament – PSALMS” , KING JAMES VERSIN BY THE GIDEONS. But I am not able to understand the words of the book. Could I get the Bible in simple English with Hindi version too. Please guide me asap. D.G.

Hi, I very much enjoy your audio version of the KJV bible, and I’ve been trying to find out who produced it, so I can ask permission to use it in a non-profit bible app I’m making. Your app/website is the only place where I’ve heard this particular recording of the KJV. Is it available for use in other Christian non-profit ministry related apps? Thank you, B.R.

1 kings chapter 20 of Amharic interpretation to English is not the right one. It’s right interpretation is found in 1 kings chapter 21. Please correct it by making it vise versa 20 to 21, and chapter 21 to 20. Thank you for doing this great job by bieng engaged to his kingdom. God bless you. T.K. (fixed)

I like to take this opportunity to thank you for providing such a valuable source of information on the holy word of God. I was going to send you a request for the permission of using the contents of this Website but according to your disclaimer (https://www.wordproject.org/contact/new/disclaim.htm), we do not need to do so. However, I truly appreciate your great work. May our LORD bless you all. Sincerely, R.

Thanks for providing the bible in this format particularly the Somali bible. Please look at chapter 1 of your App for Genesis 1 or Bilowgii.  At the very end, some unwanted text displays: “</DIV></div>”.  Thanks. J.R.

Thank you for this blessed work. I am fluent in Luganda and was wondering if there is something I could help with. May God Continue To Bless. Kosea. K.

First of all, I want to say how much I appreciate all that you have done already and are continuing to do to make the Bible accessible in so many languages! My question is: Is there a way to download the English/Chinese/Chinese Pinyin version of the full Bible for offline use?  I am in China and I do not always have access to a good internet connection. Thank you, in advance, for any suggestions you might have! God Bless You! K.H.

I have downloaded the audio bible freely. May God bless your ministry. The bible says ”Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. rev 1:3” Yes there is blessing through reading, hearing and keeping the word of God. Comment: In the audio bible, the epistle to Galathians is replaced by Philiphians. The word Philiphinas is written twice. please edit it. May God bless you D.B. Wolaitta Soddo, Ethiopia  

I stumbled across your web page.  I’m the administrator of www.ReinaValeraGomez.com.  I’m looking for a better way to host the Bible online.  I like the way your website has the Bible formatted.  I would like to make the Reina Valera Gomez Bible available in this same format.  Please contact me.  Thank you! Sincerely, S.R.

The Tamil audio Bible recording is now entering the final stage and this month Raj finished all the way to the book of Ezekiel. That means we are less than 50 verses away from concluding the Old Testament, therefore the whole Tamil Bible. This has been a long road and Raj has been faithful in recording and also editing the Tamil digital text to match the printed version of the Bible as published by the Bible Society of India. Here you may listen to Tamil audio Bible recordings online (Ezekiel):

Raj has been very busy recording the Tamil Audio Bible. Bless him.

From Samuel, in Africa, we heard that the audio Bibles in French have arrived at the destination, in Congo where they are a blessing to the Lord’s work there. Here are a few pictures sent in by Samuel:

Family Update – October

By Donna.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Eph 6:12).
I really felt an intense spiritual battle this month, a battle in which the enemy was trying to hamper our efforts to make progress in our witness here and in our personal lives and endeavors. As stated in 1Pe 5:8,  our adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour and that is why we need to be sober and vigilant.  The negative forces of fear and pride and rebellion have been trying to wreak havoc here, and we are convinced that they can only be conquered through the Holy Spirit of God and the Power of His Almighty and eternal Word. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against Him. (Is. 59:19).

We have been praying intensively, memorizing more Bible verses, absorbing less negative media input, and filling our minds with positive thoughts from the Word of God.  The mind is such a powerful part of our soul/spirit/body makeup and we definitely fight on the battlefield of the mind.  Jesus’ first commandment  is: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. “Mt 22:37. So, harnessing our mind is one of the major challenges in life, and has been a major focus for us this month. Paul says in 2 Co. 10:3-5, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”.  What a challenge! We continue in the battle.

There have been  many glorious victories this month here in China ! We have been in contact with local Christian brethren whom we have been able to fellowship with and encourage to get back on the active battlefield for Christ. Developing deeper relationships in Christ with friends and acquaintances has been fruitful and inspiring.

This past month we saw young Zac turn 3 years old! Even from very far away we can observe that he is an extremely energetic and happy little fellow who is growing by leaps and bounds!! We are praying that he adapts gracefully to his new role as older brother in the next coming weeks! He will definitely be a great blessing to mom and dad and baby sister that is arriving! Not least, I thank everyone for the wonderful birthday reception back home and all the prayers and wishes from far and wide. What a blessed celebration of life, having so many things to be thankful for!
