We are happy to report that the Audio Bibles we sent to Pakistan started to be distributed. Apparently our Pastor friend there found out that a ministry to the blind could take a lot more units so we have been preparing another package to send them. Meanwhile, we have received the recording of the New Testament in Macua, the most wide-spoken language in Mozambique, with a request to include that recording in our next batch of audio Bibles. So, our latest production included 200 audio Bibles in Macua and Portuguese, and we are happy to inform you that we have sent them already. We have sent another 200 units for the ministry with the blind people in Nairobi. We hope and pray these goods will get there before Christmas, a great time to distribute these precious gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, from Mozambique we received the following note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Pela gra\u00e7a do Senhor estamos trabalhando em cerca de perto de 100 aldeias, evangelizando e dando inicio a novos trabalhos, \u00e9 uma grande ben\u00e7\u00e3o.
A Biblia falada tem sido uma ajuda preciosissima, as  pessoas adoram ouvir a palavra falada em Portugues e agora em Macua e nas suas linguas locais ser\u00e1 de grande ben\u00e7\u00e3o. \u2026
A Biblia falada tem uma grande aceita\u00e7\u00e3o, mesmo no meio dos mu\u00e7ulmanos.
Pela gra\u00e7a de Deus um lider Moculmano converteu-se e levou a Jesus 30 familias e est\u00e1 evangelizando outros Mu\u00e7ulmanos \u00e9 maravilhosos o que Deus est\u00e1 a fazer.
Em meu nome pessoal e em nome de todas as igrejas queremos agradecer a s\u00ed e a todos os doadores que tornam possivel esta ben\u00e7\u00e3o de nos doarem as Biblias. Podem ter a certeza que milhares de Mo\u00e7ambicanos est\u00e3o ouvindo o evangelho e se convertem ao Senhor, ouvindo a palavra falada.
Damos honra e gl\u00f3ria ao Senhor, por esta maravilhosa gra\u00e7a e pela ben\u00e7\u00e3o que os amados irm\u00e3os teem sido para n\u00f3s.\u201d
[Roughly translated it means:
“By the grace of our Lord  we are working with around 100 villages, evangelizing and initiating new works. This is a great blessing. \u2026 The spoken Bible has been well accepted even among the Muslims. By the grace of God a Muslim leader was converted and took 30 families to Jesus and he is evangelizing other Muslims and it is wonderful to see what God is doing. In may name and on behalf of all churches we want to thank you and all the donors that make this blessing possible of the donated Bibles. You must be assured that thousands of Mozambicans are hearing the Gospel and converting to the Lord hearing the spoken Word. We give honor and glory to the Lord for this wonderful grace and the blessing our beloved brethren are being to us.”] P.P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not least, from Portugal, our friend who works with the blind people there wrote the following:<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“N\u00e3o tenho dado not\u00edcias, porque tem corrido tudo muito bem, tenho distribu\u00eddo as \u00e1udio b\u00edblias com o folheto que ensina na sua utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o, quer nos lares, quer a pessoas com defici\u00eancia visual. A boa not\u00edcia \u00e9 que s\u00f3 tenho meia d\u00fazia que j\u00e1 est\u00e3o prometidas.  Tem sido um trabalho muito interessante que me tem dado muito gosto fazer, para al\u00e9m de ouvir a palavra de Deus.” [Rough translated: “I have not been in touch because things are going well. I have been distributing the Audio Bibles with the sheet of paper that instructs the people how to use it, at seniors homes and also to people with vision impairment. The good news is that I only have a dozen (out of over 100) and they are already promised. It has been a very interesting work that I have been enjoying a lot, besides the fact that I also like to hear the Word of God.”] T.V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online work was mostly maintenance and improvements. We have received the new App for final testing and apparently we should have it uploaded before Christmas. Praying for that. We continue to work on optimizing the main site and recently we have invested time in Wordplanet.org, another site that has been sort of dormant and is now up for a new revival. The Brazilian narration came but had serious technical problems and had to be discarded and our Brazilian friend\/brother is now starting again. We believe this new narration will be not only technically improved but also more inspired. We are glad to see a real network of people from all over the world who offer to serve and contribute to this great mission of bringing the Word of God to the Whole Wide World. Praise the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
