TALKING BIBLES SENDING OUT MISSIONARIES

Talking Bibles is led by missionaries. In fact these missionaries grew up in Africa where they were born to missionary parents. They have an insider’s understanding of what’s required to communicate cross-culturally. They knew more about the indigenous people’s customs than did their missionary parents.

But now these missionary kids are adults. Both of them, Mark and Paul, direct the Talking Bible missionary outreach. Each has an area of expertise.

The missionaries they are sending out are sometimes viewed as being “mechanical missionaries.” i. e. Talking Bibles. These “mechanical missionaries” speak the local language the day they arrive on the field. I had to struggle for months and years to communicate effectively in the local language. But, these “mechanical missionaries” speak the language perfectly the day they arrive – no small advantage!

Amazed, like those people in Acts 2, those listening to these “mechanical missionaries” are also exclaiming, “We hear them speaking in our own language!”

And the marvelous good news is that many who hear are becoming people of Jesus Christ and are being baptized.

These missionaries heading up the Talking Bible “mechanical missionaries” sending organization will send out as many of these as we put in their hands. Let’s determine to do this. I can think of no down side to this effective missionary sending mission. It is cost effective enjoying God’s favor wherever these “mechanical missionaries,” Talking Bibles are sent.

Why not let God use you to add to the numbers who receive God’s Saving Word about Jesus Christ via a Talking Bible speaking in their own heart language? Let God be praised!

If you go to www.talkingbibles.org you can learn much more. You can readily send out a “mechanical missionary” by making an on-line donation. You can also call 1-800-318-7262 for additional information and assistance in sending out your Talking Bible today.

And bathe all you do with prayer and thanks to God.

Because they need to hear,

Goal: A TALKING BIBLE SUNDAY IN THOUSANDS OF CHURCHES TO LEARN MORE AND TO TAKE A SPECIAL OFFERING TO SEND OUT TALKING BIBLES TO THOSE WHO DO NOT READ AND TO THE BLIND.
