WP – November 2022 update

We started this month where we left the previous month, that is, where we reived a request for a Pashto online Bible. As you probably know, Pashto is an official language in Afghanistan, spoken by 40 to 60 million people. So, we have been working hard this month to convert that language Bible text to our WP format. We have not finished it yet, although there only a few strokes left to be placed, as you may already see here:

Besides that, there was a lot of fixing up to do, including upgrading the Chinese Bible, with the help of our online friend, Ken Hong, who has been reviewing the whole Chinese CUV text and finding the glitches and ommited characters and punctuation, in the past few months. Many corrections have been done. Here is a sample of his most recent report:

To send a package of audio Bibles to Mozambique we went to DHL, a week later we received the package back at our address, because, they say, the package contains devices with a lithium battery, which, according to their explanation, they are not allowed to transport. Sad news for us all. In this world of ours, it is much easier to carry bombs and all the parafernalia of war, which kills and destroys, than to carry a handful of audio Bibles, potentially explosive, that bring life and inspiration. Keep this world in your prayers.

Inside the sr600 audio Bible

There is that little memory card inside each audio Bible that can be programmed with the Bibles we wish to distribute. In the case of Mozambique, we changed the original language, to the Makua language. This can be done through a computer and we can make just about any audio Bible language we need, as long as we have the audio, of course. To make our lives easier around here to perform that and other tasks, we addapted our attic to be studio, office and workshop, all in one, as you may see below:

Not least, and to have an answer to give, particularly to the increasing number of Muslim computer warriers, and others, who attack Christians with verbal insults, namely that Jesus could not be the son of God, and stating that the Trinity is not possible, because of logic contradiction where 1+1+1 never equals one… they say. In fact, one body, one soul and one Spirit equals one of us, but never mind… logic contradicts many fundamental truths such as Jesus’s resurrection, and logic would never explain why Muammad ascended to heaven, as they claim. But, logic aside, here are some of the verses you may share with the denniers and apostates, who attack your faith in this manner: (Now in a new section under WP Bible verses selection, called “Jesus Son of God – Trinity)

And here are some messages we received this month:

Hello team, I am Yohan from south India. I am running a bible shop for the past 12 months. I gone through a good number of customers who are really in need of audio bible device, those who were either senior citizens or illiterate. Kindly assist me to get the device details and the way to procure. Thanks, Y.
This is to let you know that when I came to listen to Genesis 43rd chapter in the Tamil language, I heard it to be Genesis 3rd chapter instead of 43rd chapter - what it has to be. Thus, I came to know the misplacement of the recording. It would be more beneficial if the correct recording is placed in that respective link. Could you please do the needful? Awaiting your positive response. Thank you. T.U.
Hello, Thank you for your many translations of the Bible. I am reading the English/Italian version and value greatly the narrator reading the Italian out. However, I am in Joshua 6 and what the narrator is saying does not match the text. The gist of it is the same, but the words are often different. Since Italian is a language I am still learning, this is very confusing. It also begs the question of why the narrator is reading something other than what is on the screen? Is he self styling to save time—which would be wrong—or has he switched to a new version. I have read the Italian up to this point and although occasionally he changes a word, this chapter has been glaring. I hope you might see fit to re record this in its original version and check other chapters to ensure that what the speaker is reading is faithful to the text. M.M.
Hello, Thank you for this website. I use it often and has found it to be excellent. 
This page (https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/big5/38/13.htm#0) and all the pages for the Book Zechariah has a wrong heading: 
撒都該 迦利亞書, it should be 撒迦利亞書
