From Alvina Federwitz, serving in Liberia, West Africa
About a year and half ago I learned that you could put the entire Bible on an SD card. Since we have eleven New Testaments in Liberian languages recorded, I downloaded the Lorma New Testament. After I successfully loaded it on an SD card, I played it for a Lorma friend who had come to visit me. The way his eyes lit up convinced me of the impact that audio Scripture recordings make. LBT’s involvement in audio Scripture engagement is changing lives, especially in Liberia.
When I learned that Aminata Mosaquoi had become a Christian I purchased a radio for her, as well as a Vai SD New Testament. As she heard the New Testament being read, her eyes were even brighter than the Lorma man’s eyes. She pulled her Vai New Testament out of her purse, and tears of joy flowed down her face as she heard God speaking in her language. Many times I heard her say, “It is so much better to hear it than even reading it,” as she intently listened to Matthew 1 being read in her mother tongue.
The Vai language supervisor, George Kiatamba, has had a burden to reach his people with God’s Word, since the majority of Vai speakers are Muslim. Now, Aminata, as a new Christian, joins him with great enthusiasm. From May 19 to May 24, they traveled to Vai-speaking villages and distributed radios, batteries, and the SD cards to church congregations. Both Christians and Muslims became very excited to hear Scripture recordings in their heart language. Many of them asked how they could purchase their own. Praise be to God for the success of this trip! May He continue working in the hearts of people in Liberia as they hear and truly understand His Word in Scripture.
Please keep Alvina and LBT’s international partners in your prayers as they distribute these important tools so that all might hear the Good News.
This is truly a work of our Almighty Yahweh, it’s truly a blessing to see both muslim and Christian engaging in the word of God. This is what our All Mighty God is seeking. We may agree to disagree but one thing we must agree on is that our Heavenly Father is the one and only true God and we must continue to have faith that all religions accept Christ as their personal savior. As we all know; no one, absolutely No one can come to God accept through his son Jesus Christ our Lord and savior. He is the light and the way. Our savior, who took away our sins that we are free of sins. We may go to our Father for forgiveness through him that took away our sins and sacrifice so much for us to be able to have a free life. For God is God. He’s the one true God. You are my one and only and I Love you unconditionally. King of kings, Lord of Lords,The Holiness, Our Supreme Being, our Creator,Jesus our savior, Holy Sprit that Guide our path to righteousness. Together we are one and we ought to serve the one true God. Amen ?? ???
The mighty power of the spoken Word! Praising God that even Muslims are eagerly listening. His Word will never return empty.
