Jorge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 28 days in February but so many things happened in such a short time. Many ‘long’ hours have been invested in developing and improving WP website. One of the new features, just introduced, is the ‘Verse of the Day’. This is a very useful feature as with a copy and paste stroke we can send a different verse everyday to our friends and acquaintances, and of course read it ourselves. Every day the verse changes with the date and therefore a different verse will be available for 365 days of the year. This feature is nothing new and actually being offered by several online Bible sites. However, what is more unusual is the fact that we offer it in many languages – and that is where those many long hours went. For the moment we offer it in 12 languages, besides English. You may try it here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just check and see what verse is there for you (us) today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming down to the South has been a good break and it was\nsuppose to be a short holiday. Indeed it was a break for our lungs, the air and\nthe weather here is just fantastic. However, I have been more busy than before\n– mostly housekeeping. But the experience has been enriching: around us there\nare many people who are suffering, mostly from their ageing  ailments. It is natural to try to add some\nyears  to physical life and some comfort\nand quality too. Life is beautiful but inevitably it has trials because, among\nso many other things, the decay brought by the “fall” (yes, Adam and\nEve’s).  Healing and renewal are the\nantidotes for decay – but, most of all, we have to learn to rely on GRACE – that\ncapacity to be resilient and to endure, to go through, not eliminate, pain and\nsuffering. We hope to contribute to this great effort, with our modest but\nsincere contribution, broadcasting the Word of God:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our stats this month show that again:  over 61,000 visitors per day, average, and\nalmost 7 million page views for all our sites. We thank the Lord for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

APP: Some comments at our Android APP, show that we are\nmoving in the right direction in that field to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Best Bible application in the market! Both text and\naudio, night mode, continues listening, offline mode. The only problem is that\nit can not be played if the screen is locked\/turned off. The Apple iOS users do\nNOT have this issue. People here reported this issue but seems like the developer\ndo not give a care about it as he answered like “click on continues play\nand listen only in screen on mode<\/em>“. [A.R.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our answer: ” Thank you for your suggestions.  We are working on a new version of the APP\nthat should solve that and a few other issues. Please, be patient and give us a\nlittle more time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, we are reaching a new phase in the development of\nthe new APP and Phil, in Thailand, is doing a great job although long and\nlaborious. Keep him in your prayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, about the same APP, we received this\nmonth super comments like these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– “Excellent application, use constantly to read and\nlisten!” [..]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– “Excellent, exquisite work, and a most precious\nwork, the best I’ve ever encountered.” […]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– “It’s the best application I like everything.”\n[…]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– “Easy to use It is important to have you open the\nWord with listening to reading the Bible” [Y.M.]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On other news: Raj came back from India but we have not yet\nmet. Certainly he left the 50 audio Bibles there… Meanwhile, we shipped 100\naudio devices to Portugal. They should arrive there soon. Cristiana is in charge\nto pick them up and they will be waiting for distribution. As we go back to our\nbase, and now that the factories are back into production, we should place our\nnew orders for this year. Specifying and quantifying languages is the hardest part\nbecause it depends on how we going to get the machines shipped and delivered to\nthe field. Thank you for your prayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
