I view people serving with Talking Bibles as being missionaries doing missionary work in a way we traditional missionaries serving way back then could not do. Thanks be to God.In a manner similar to how my family serving as missionaries in Africa was supported those many years by PIM congregations, so I would love to see the missionary leaders serving with Talking Bibles International, similarly, supported now. I’m pleased to see significant numbers of churches viewing themselves as being Partners in Mission (PIM) congregations taking annual shares in the financial support of the people serving with Talking Bibles International. Those who head up the ministry need that kind of relationship with faithful PIM congregations. Such PIM churches are greatly blessed by their doing this and the TB Int’l missionaries are blessed to engage most effectively in this essential, unfinished mission task.
Not only are Talking Bible personnel serving as missionaries, but many of the oral culture people receiving Talking Bibles also become missionaries to their previously unreached people.
They do missionary like work when they take their Talking Bibles and invite others to listen in other homes or in other villages and towns. And the exciting good news is that many who hear God speaking to them from this Talking Bible, under the power of the Holy Spirit, become disciples of Christ and are baptised.
Learn more about how your church, too, can partner with Talking Bibles International in this essential, unfinished mission task. Go to www.talkingbibles.org or call 1-800-318-7262.
And, with thanks to God, let us all uphold this vital ministry with our fervent and frequent prayers.
Because they need to hear,
