Progress and impact
Bible Translation
There is an urgency for people in this world to hear and believe. "And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?" (Romans 8:14-15). We are sent to make disciples in all the world. It is a commission for the whole Church. Let us not leave a minority people only wishing they had God’s Word in a form they can read and hear.
The Jesus Film
In the words of Marawe, an old Nomane man: “Thank you, thank you for doing this. I am so glad to hear God speak to us and understood everything. When I listen to the preaching in Tok Pisin, some things I hear, some things are not clear or are hard to understand. Now, I understood everything. Thank you”
Video and Audio Recordings
Help us record Scripture onto solar-powered, audio players, so that those who are illiterate will hear and believe. Oral societies love listening over and over to audio Scriptures.
In the words of Senis, a young mother: "I listen to it with my husband all the time. The Gospel of John, chapters 20 and 21, spoke to my heart. I used to lie, slander, quarrel. That has changed."
