Here in Portugal, besides family affairs and the sunshine we are enjoying, we are also in the process of implanting an Audio Bible (SR600 devices) distribution center.  We made our first contact with an Association for the Blind here in Lisbon. We left 10 audio players there and we shall supply more should this  first test go well. Since “there  is none so blind as those who cannot see” – paraphrasing Jer. 5:21 “Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not.”, (all of us?!) and Jesus own words in John, chapter 9, we have a lot to do here too. Thus, we hope and pray we can find the right connections during the rest of our stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month we heard great news from Mozambique  and that was  through Samuel in Kenya and also that through\nshipments directly to Pemba, in the North, the audio Bible players  are being a great blessing there. Bro. Paulo,\nin Mozambique,  reports that (translated\nfrom Portuguese) “the Word of God through the narrated Bible  is a priceless asset especially in the\nvillages where there is almost nothing.  Many\nare hearing the Word and giving their lives to Christ. ..15 Bibles were\ndistributed in prisons and the prisoners are listening to the Lord daily…we\nhave established 48 new centers and aim to establish 35 more before December.\n…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Bro. Samuel we received the following message: “… The north as shared in earlier reports has most of the unreached and least-reached people and people groups in Moz. Therefore we have this opportunity to share the love of God around – I have been able to distribute audio Bibles and begin a discipleship session with some young people as I continue to trust God for more.

    Also, through Bro. Paulo,  WP helped support some of the repair work in the aftermath of the cyclones that affected the North of Mozambique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Not least, with the help of Bro. Raj we were able to get our\nfirst package of audio Bibles (50) into India. It has been a great breakthrough\nas, finally, we hope to establish a center to distribute more audio Players in\nIndia’s many languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In cyberspace, we had the usual battles with servers (computers that suppose to serve) and we are considering all\u00a0options especially now as demand for audio downloads is increasing considerably. In June we reached a new record of 25 Terabytes of downloaded audio. \u00a0\u00a0It is a lot of data, by most standards, a great outreach, by God’s grace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"
    Stats from one of our servers: that long number represents data served: over 15 TB<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    Stats from another server: the long number is data served – over 8 TB<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The impact of that outreach is clear to see in the emails we received in June. Let me just share some here, sorted by language or region, for your understanding of the situation. Mind you, some of the issues mentioned in the emails are being addressed, or will be in the future, if they are within our power to solve them, of course – many are not – changes to the Bible, for example, we cannot do.  That is beyond our “mandate” and more likely the work of the Bible Societies in those respective countries. So, enjoy the following comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chinese<\/strong> (from Chinese person in mainland China) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Hey brother and sister. Thank you so much for Jesus Christ and your project. Am a chinese in mainland. And the app is so available to be downloaded here. This probably is the Only one biblical  app with download options. That my family can listen offline. May I show my much appreciation again. Jesus loves you. FC <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tamil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Praise the Lord! This is a wonderful website helping people where word of GOD can’t reach in hard copy. I am not sure whether it is right to ask, but I hope you don’t  mind. I would like to have the complete Tamil bible to be used in our church to present in projector during the Sunday service (non commercial usage). I already have a copy that comes with the software that we use for presentation, but it has a lot of errors. Since I saw that you allow to download the complete bible (it comes as separate chapters), I thought of asking for the complete Bible in single file. Kindly advise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Arabic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I have two comments regarding two issues, could you please help me sorting out them. First, I’d like to ask why the English audio is not working while I am running it with the Arabic audio. Second, I noticed that the Arabic voice is pronouncing the Arabic name of Peleg wrongly. It should be Falej and he is pronouncing it Falah. Many thanks in advance. M<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gujarati<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jonah 1:9 Gujarati Bible the word should be I am a Hebrew, gujarati translation for that is “Yahudi”, though in the gujarati bible at the moment the word used is “misri” which translates in English “Egyptian”. It needs to be changed. And really good work on bible. Praise the Lord, and thank you for making this available for everyone in every language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would like to know if you have files for each bible that you have online available in pdf, xml or some other format that can be used for printing out bibles in different languages. I would like to know if you have texts for the Bible in Ewe language from 1913 and Louis Segonde French Translation from 1910. I would like to print bibles for use in Togo (Africa). Thank you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    USA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I love your website design.  How was it built?  I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m interested in building a website to host just one Bible similar to yours with the chapter, and audio able to be played.  I hope to hear back from you.  Thank you for making the Bible available in many different languages.  God bless! Serving the King, S.R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Denmark<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dear Wordproject. I’m in the process of making a video project and I’m in need of some audio files that read some Bible verses out loud. I wanted to ask if you permit the use of your audio files in public videos that is non commercial for creative use only? Sincerely, M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Kannada language<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dear Brothers and Sisters at Wordproject, I have prayed for a while for a complete audio bible in Kannada. Thank you and praise our Lord, for your efforts in achieving this. How can we make donations to this work at wordproject. I do not find any bank details on your website. God Bless, M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Urdu language<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are some typing mistake in urdu bible. Just like psalm 40 verses 10 and last missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    French<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What a shame! Your translation in French is much too fast.  The man should stop a longer time between two sentences.  I mean he speaks very fast and God’s word has no time enough to come into our hearts.  He should think about what he is reading and let it come deep in his heart when he is reading God’s word.  If you register again, please make the reader go much more slowly, reading God’s word. D. B. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tagalog<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A pleasant day to you my brothers and sisters,  I am R., and really appreciate your website for spreading the words of our God thru the Holy Bible. I got my calling a few months ago and now started building my project to spread the will of our God and his words from the Book of Revelation. May I ask permission to use your Tagalog Files to put in my project website? I am using a WordPress Theme and I can’t find any Plugin to finish all my things. I am hoping that you will read my message. Thank you my Brothers and Sisters. May God Bless you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spanish<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I was always listening to this (Spanish) biblical version, but I do not like that the word Philistine was changed in Jeremiah 37 by Palestinians, because they are not the same, the Philistines do not exist, the Palestinians are current invaders in Israel. I also do not like how they changed in Ezekiel 1 where he talks about living beings and you call them animals is not the same. They walk very badly in translation, pity because the voice of the one who reads I like a lot, it is very peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Amharic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hello, My name is J.B. the reason I send this email is that I am writing a children’s book in Amharic and in English, so I want to use this Bible for reference or  to quote Bible verses. However, I need your permission to use. Can you give me permission to use verses for my book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
