Hi Rick,
We have probably distributed about 70 or more bibles this past year. These bibles are really getting used day and night. Something to consider is the reality of a maintenance factor on these bibles. Just like the water filters, there will be a percentage that will come back every year due to wear and tear.
The larger Proclaimer bibles given out about 2 years ago are starting to act
up and not holding their charge. We would really like to get more audio bibles soon. One lady lost her audio bible in a fire when her house burnt to the ground. She was the only one with an audio bible in her village of about 60 people.
Another bible was lost when a boat turned over in the rapids. The bible was found, but didn’t work anymore as it had water damaged.

Here are some testimonies Clyde and Kelsie sent me this past year.

Jeorge Rodrigues da Silva
Jeorge listens to the Audio bible 2 times a day for up to 15 mins each time and all
day on Sunday’s.
“I didn’t know the word of God before I obtained an audio bible. I have had a
big change in my life. I learned many things. For someone who doesn’t know
how to read the audio bible is really helpful. For those of us who resisted the
word of God or the gospel message, we can now listen and learn to like it.
If people continue to receive these bibles, there will be more spiritual
development and they will benefit.”
Osebio da Costa Silva
Osebio comments that those who don’t know how to read need an audio bible.
“This is a great invention. I listen to it once a day for 20 minutes. ”
Katia Rejane da Costa Silva
“I listen to my audio bible two times a day and have learned so much about
God and His Word.
I didn’t know they were using audio bibles, what a great idea. How much does one bible like tht cost? mom
