SR600: Below are some more pictures received this month concerning the Audio Bible distribution in Africa and India. It is a great blessing to know that there is a constant flow of audio Bibles going out and they are being used in a mighty way.

ONLINE: We have received noticed from Google to warn us that we need to update our old APP. We are asking our friend and brother in the Lord, Hison, to help us with this. He recently upgraded the IOS app and fixed some bugs. Our original Android App is still a very useful App because it is so easy to use, The new Android App is still in the works but it has been delayed due to some indexing that has to be introduced to sync the audio with the text while scrolling. We just found out that doing this indexing is much harder in non romanized languages (i.e. Chinese, Hindi, etc), thus taking more time and eventually someone who knows the language. Thank you for your prayers for this.

We reached near 40 Terabytes of audio served this month, That is a BIG volume of data. We are praying that we can continue to do this without being restrained or suspended by our server providers. In fact, that happened last month. One of our service providers, in HK, suspended one of our audio domains because, they said, we were using too much bandwidth. They said we passed over 300 Gigabytes, which actually is not that much volume when dealing with audio. So, we had to re-direct to another server. Ideal would be a dedicated server, which we might have to consider for the future. Thanks.

We took a trip to the North [Portugal] to visit our dear friends Abílio and Julieta in their country side place. The beautiful scenery of the Rio Douro and the vineyards are a feast to the eyes. We also learned a lot about Portuguese history on several excursions . The weather has been fantastic and above all we are in good health. It has been wonderful to spend time with family again and we thank the Lord that our relatives are enjoying the blessing of good health as well.

Along with personal visits we were able to meet new people who are interested in the Audio
Bible distribution – Abílio kept 10 to share with his friends. Armando took 12 to bring with him to Mozambique.

Jorge and Jason accomplished some handyman work regarding insulation of the attic. There were a lot of steps to climb, but with great eagerness they managed to get all the materials upstairs . It is looking good, but this is a work in progress so will have to be continued at some further point in time.

Ben finished his one month intensive language class in Braga. He met with a team of international students and is now conversing much more fluently in the Portuguese language.

Gloria and Jason put in quite a few hours editing Audio files. It is an operation that not even Google itself can accomplish and it is thanks to their knowledge of the Chinese language that they can get the job done. So much to do and so few to do it. Always praying for laborers. The harvest truly is plentiful but the laborers are few. Mt 9:37.
