September 8th – This is the most recent video we received from our friend Mary, who works with the blind people in Kenya. It is always an encouragement to hear how the Word in this Audio Format is blessing those who do not see.
We met with Paulo in Aveiro. For those who do not know Paulo has a mission in Mozambique. He supervises many new house churches in the North. He used to live in Mozambique, where he also built houses and Chiristian meeting halls, (or churches, if you prefer). Now, due to health problems he returned to Portugal. He continues to visit Mozambique and every time he brings packages of our audio Bibles in Macua and Portuguese. He updated us on the situation on the field and the prospects for future Christian investments, once the war presently going on allows more freedom of movement and safety. Something to pray for. Amen.

Here, in this corner of our attic, we are transforming our audio Bible devices to include other languages, like Spanish, French, etc, to be more ready for the European needs. We also give a boost to its battery when necessary.

Wordproject campervan allow us to move and live cheap and healthy lifestyle while on the road. Here we paid 12 Euros for 2 people for the night and enjoyed the peace of the country side and being close to the sea. We also met people who, for the most part, had time to talk. We gave an audio Bible to a couple staying right next to us in this campground. When we gave them the little box as a gift, the young lady said – ‘I already know what is inside’. I asked her: – ‘How do you know?’. She replied: – ‘I have been to your website…[long pause] it is written right there on the door of your autocaravan’. Cute.

Wordplanet.net – a different approach with the same purpose.

Above are three samples of our other site, Wordplanet. This site has been there for 16 years and also receives many visitors and has many permanent users, although not as many as Wordproject. This month we had an incidend, a rather sad incident. Somehow, the renewal fee for the domain Wordplanet.org did not get paid on time. The registrar, instead of waiting for us to renew it, or try to contact us through other means, since we did not see their notices sent by email (a strange thing we are still trying to figure out), they went ahead and sold the domain to someone else – guess who? You would think someone interested in spreading the Word, or a benign product of some kind. No so, they sold it to a gambling company, who obviously thinks they will benefit from the thousands of links already populated online from years of use. We hope they will be defeated and we are planing to protest this, but not before we move out all our domains from this unscrupulous registrar – by the way, initially this was a Christian business, which was later sold to this less idealistic company. This to say that we have to be alert and watch and pray daily. The good news is that we have another domain, wordplanet.net and that one is now being used for the same purpose,

3 websites, one goal: To spread the Word of God to the whole wide World.

To those who may question why we have several sites with the same content (the Holy Bible in different languages), I say that this is a drop in a bucket, in the vast sea that is the Internet. According to statistics there are over 40 million pornographic and gambling sites on the internet. Then, there are millions of idialogues, youtubers, debaters and booksellers of all kinds, trying to sell their worldviews, fake news, opinions and propaganda. If anything we should have many more sites and content publicizing the Good News, proclaiming the Salvation in Jesus Christ.
Thank you for being part of this effort.
