Das would not give up sharing the rest found in Jesus with her neighbors… Finding Rest in the Lord… Das’s life is heavy-laden and burdened by hard work. She is a 31-year-old farm laborer, goat herder, and mother of two from Odisha, India. After laboring all day and sometimes into the late hours, Das finds rest by listening to the Scriptures on her Talking Bible. “It helps me to understand the word of God about Jesus’ death and life. … It is easy to understand and remember…” Das says. With God’s Word, Das has found rest not from her physical work but from sin and death, creating rest in her whole life. Das was excited to share her newfound rest with her neighbors , because, in her village, no one else knew about Jesus outside of her household. She decided to put together a prayer meeting and invited her neighbors to her house. However, No one showed up. Because the walls of the houses in her village are made of thin materials, she knew her neighbors could hear her praying for them… Still, no one showed up. Das refused to give up and held another prayer meeting, she prayed for her neighbors and still, they didn’t show up. Das then decided to play her Talking Bible… as the scriptures played, she heard a knock at her door… a neighbor showed up! Since then, three other families from the village have joined her each week for her prayer meeting, to hear the Scriptures and ask her questions about Jesus. When the Talking Bible is played, God’s Word is heard by all those around ; making it an extremely effective tool to reach others with the Gospel... giving peace to those who are heavy-laden and burdened by sin.

Amos is asking for more Talking Bibles so more lives can be changed… God’s Word Changes Lives! I want to introduce you to Amos, a farmer from Tanzania who was born into a Christian family, but despite his mother’s continual advice, he simply refused to believe. As a young man, Amos was terrified of death. In his mind, he would constantly see the moment of people throwing dirt over a fresh grave. It took over his thoughts and hindered his living. With nowhere to hide from his fears and desperate for answers, God provided His Word to reach Amos. This is where Enoch enters his life. Enoch, an evangelist armed with the Word of God, taught Amos about the eternal life offered by Jesus. The words penetrated deep into his heart; he knew he could abandon his fears and rest in Jesus, and he finally believed. To this day, Amos has followed Jesus and says, “Now, I do not fear death because I realized that when I die, I’ll have a new life.” Amos now has a wife and three children and provides as many opportunities for them to know Jesus as he can. Amos found it hard to fully reach his children, just like himself, at a young age, but for different reasons. They are all loyal members of their local church in Tanzania and meet for a Bible study three times a week, but their Bibles are in Kiswahili and English. Amos and his family speak Kiiraqw, causing many Biblical truths to be lost in translation. Then God’s Word once again changed everything; Amos’ Bible study received a Talking Bible with the New Testament in Kiiraqw. This was Amos and his family’s first experience hearing the scriptures in their heart language. “I am so happy to hear that even our language is recognized in the world! My Children didn’t know that they could learn scripture in Kiiraqw. They only know about studying in Kiswahili and English.” Says Amos. Now Amos’ children can be fully reached with the Gospel and grow in their knowledge. “The Talking Bible changed our [Bible study] group because when we get it at home, we can continue to listen while in the field or while taking care of animals.” Each family in the Bible study takes turns bringing the Talking Bible back to their own home between meetings so that they can listen to more of the scriptures. Amos also says, “It will help us to teach non-believers by using the scriptures.” In order to do that, they need more Talking Bibles. Will you answer the cry for access to God’s Word? Give now and provide Talking Bibles for people just like Amos! P.S. Thank you for being a part of Amos’ life-changing gift of the Scriptures! God bless!

"God delivered me from bad situations." Elizabeth’s parents passed away early in her childhood, forcing her to leave school around the 3rd grade. Then, at 14, she was married off to a cruel husband. He would abuse and beat her, eventually marrying a second wife. As the years passed, Elizabeth felt she was only an object to be abused; she found no worth in her life. One night, as hopeless tears poured down her face, she heard someone calling her . It was a voice she had never heard, but it kept calling to her. “Eliza, Eliza! I am God talking to you. I have cleansed you. Stand firm to serve me now,” the voice told her. Before that night, no one had ever told Elizabeth about Jesus or our creator God. She only knew of Ngai, a god who lived on a far-off mountain and would never speak directly to anyone, especially a woman. From that night on, Elizabeth knew the true, loving God. Immediately after encountering Him, Elizabeth found a local church where God gave her a spiritual father to mentor and teach her more about Jesus. “My spiritual father, a servant of God, was helpful because I was new to the faith. [Through him,] God trained me in the ministry, and I began to pray for people. God began to use me to do many things that I could not explain,” Elizabeth recounts. Miraculously, Elizabeth’s husband began to notice the significant changes occurring in his first wife’s life, and soon, he, too, decided to follow Jesus. As his life began to transform, his abuse of Elizabeth stopped. His second wife refused to join him and Elizabeth in worshipping Jesus and finally returned to her family home. “God delivered me from bad situations,” Elizabeth says. She relates her life and experience of God with the story of the Samaritan woman who encountered Jesus at a well in John 4. “What I like about that story is how that woman went and told other people, ‘Come and see this man, he has told me all about my own story.’” She had heard the story before, but a popular interpretation of the passage she had heard from others cast Jesus in a poor light. Due to leaving school so young, Elizabeth never felt confident enough to study the passage herself, so her spiritual father gave her a Talking Bible. With her Talking Bible, she could finally listen deeply to John 4 and confidently know that the story does not support the cruel interpretations others told her. Elizabeth also started using her Talking Bible to teach the children at her church. Elizabeth says she felt God calling her to teach children and help rescue them from their difficulties because God had once saved her from a difficult life. Previously, she would meet with the children once a week and struggled to teach them. Since introducing the Talking Bible to the children, more kids are coming, even some from outside the church, and she is now meeting with them three times a week. She says now the children understand much and are excited to learn about Jesus. What an amazing testimony! God turned Elizabeth’s life of tragedy into a life of redemption. And just like the Samaritan woman at the well, Elizabeth is not keeping it to herself. P.S. When you support Talking Bibles, you change lives like Elizabeth and impact everyone around them. Give Now!
