FROM A PASTOR FARMER’S REPORT

This comes from a farmer pastor living in SW Ethiopia. “These Majangir people have a small number of Talking Bibles and are asking for more.”

Here’s more from what this pastor in a community of farmers reported, “I was only listening with my family, but as people came in from working in the field they would gather, so 30 or more of us will listen to the Talking Bible in the evenings.”

When asked what he feels the Majangir People of Ujunta have learned most from listening to the Talking Bible, Pastor Nebit was quick to respond that by listening to the Gospel of John, many people have learned what it means to have a second birth. The pastor explained, “As people heard John’s account of Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night and Jesus responding that people must be born again to enter the kingdom of God, there was a great response from the listening group.” The pastor said, “That is when many people received that good news and the second birth that brought religion into their lives.”

Though he has listened through the four gospels several times, Pastor Nebit said every time he hears the account of John, it brings him peace and he desires that peace for all the people of area. The pastor said, “This simple message of Jesus has given me hope in my belly, I now know I will join the New Jerusalem and I want others to have this hope in their belly.”

Please pray for these listening groups now listening daily to the for gospels.

Please pray for James Kim and his team as they continue translating the remaining books of the NT. When the translation is completed, we will be providing additional Talking Bibles having the entire New Testament in the Majangir language.

Pray for God to lead many individuals, churches and foundations to provide the finances for this promising, needed additional effort. To God be the glory and praise.
