For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
To say we are living troubled times is an understatement. It is hard to read or watch anything today without the feeling that we are being lied to or deceived. These are times to pray, pray without ceasing. The Prayer that easily comes to mind is the Lord’s Prayer: Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

But, most of all, the important thing is to pray the prayers, whenever we need to, wherever we are, in the quiteness of our own heart.
This prayer has been prayed millions of times through the ages and has comforted, encouraged and delivered many people. It has been translated and sung in many different languages. For more information go to this WP Resources page:

IOS APP:
Hison, in Korea, has been amazing in his effort to place the app online. After a long struggle with Apple Team for the approval of the audio.
Just yesterday he finally got it up and running. Please go there and use it and eventually place your like and comment there. This App has potential to become the most useful and helpful app in our ‘arsenal’.
Here are the links:

Android

The app contains basically all languages on our site, and even many that are not (yet) there. Nevertheless, the ‘old’ apps are still receiving encouraging comments, in spite of being limited to fewer languages.
Here, two of the most prominent comments this month:
Thank you very much for this application which pushes me to enjoy listening to the word of God. It's really impressive. May God bless this entire team in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. JMK
Excellent. I speak several lanhuages. I chose the French version and it is well paced, clear, pleasant. Choice of text size and scrolling. If one wants the reader to go on, need to just wait and it will go to next chapter. For those whose eyes have trouble or just want to hear God's Word it is a real gift. Pass it along to others , especially to those who live where the Bible is not allowed, or to others who nevef heard it. I thank the developers for such hard work..May the Lord be blessed. JL
PDF Bibles
As you know, we received a request to make the Bible available for download in the PDF format. For many people this means they can have the Bible in their computer or mobile device with or without internet. We have been working on that and, finally, we have placed a download link for almost all our languages in the following page:
https://www.wordproject.org/download/pdf_bibles/index.htm
This process was not easy as many languages contain characters that are difficult to reconcile with the format and several languages read from right to left. We are still working on some issues for the remaining 5 or 6 languages left to compile.
The short video outreach has been progressing and we have been adding some impressive clips from places nearby us: mountains, rocks, lakes, rivers and of course, sand and sea, have served as background to some powerful Bible verses whereof the users have shown their appreciation with their likes and comments.
Reached 3192 subscribers and 256 watching hours in the past 28 days. The praise the Lord for every single one of these short but definitely sweet clips.
On the main webpage there is always a lot going on. Servers are busy outpouring the Word of Life to those who are tired of lies and want the Truth:
Thank you so much for your support and prayers.
