One of the main events this month was that our servers were not responding during many hours of the 23rd of October. It look some maintenance of the servers to get it back into action and we are thankful that Philip was there for the rescue. We are trying to figure the reason for the event in order to find a definitive solution and avoid future downtime.
Other than that, things went smoothly and the number of users seem to be raising again. We are serving the Word of God to people in countries where Bibles are not available and with increasing world tensions, comes a greater need for peace and blessed assurances.
It is encouraging to see that besides our direct outreach, we are influencing and supplying means for others to build their own websites and media. Raj, our long term friend and brother in Christ, while he was in Souteast India, during covid restrictions, dedicated himself to create a youtube channel in Tamil. Using WP recordings and text, he made inspirational videos with full Bible chapters and audio from our site, which he made available in his channel. This initiative has produced good fruit, not least he feels very blessed in his life.
Meanwhile, he has moved back to China, where he does export business and hopes to move his family again next year. I went across the border to visit him there and we both met with Eagle, another long term friend.
Took a package of audio Bibles from Macau, to be shipped to Africa as soon as we can get our contacts in line. Also helped Raj with some changes to the Audio files in older SR600 devices, which he plans to send to India. In this post-covid world we are now living in, we hope to rekindle production and shipping contacts, transfer processes and other details in order to be able to send more audio Bibles from China.
I have spent some time to film this area to keep up with the our Video outreach. We have now over 2100 subscribers and they need ‘food’ – that is Biblical input.
Bringing the Word of God to the world is one of the most exciting jobs one could ever have and there is no unemployment in this field. Actually, ‘The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few’, as the Scripures say in Matthew 9:37-38. Your support and prayers are part of this effort and we thank you.
