From Africa, or more precisely from Tanzania, came a proposal for cooperation in the development of a new app. In fact, our first App is getting outdated and we have been thinking of an update. Our friend, a young African developer, already made a trial version and it came out to be quite interesting. We are now looking into it, but a priori it offers 2 language display, sync audio, single verse audio, search engine, etc. Praying it all goes well and we reach a good understanding in the final stages of development. Here is a sample image:
Here are images of a couple of reactions to our present apps:
Our farm project allows us to watch some of the most amazing sunrises and sunsets and all other wonderful nuances happening daily in God’s creation. The filming of those is becoming the main fuel for our video channel. The colours and contrasts of nature are amazing and become an interesting background for the Verse of Day or other verses we chose to share with the world.
This steady upload of clips to our channel has resulted in more subscribers and a multiplication in clip views. With 28 thousand views in December, a total of 104 hous, we reached 2,362 subscribers to the channel:
Here is a link to a short clip watched more than 4K times on December 31st :
Not least, the Audio Bible players we have ordered last month were finally ready and were shipped to Africa. Almost, but not quite in time for Christmas. They did arrive a few days ago and will certain be a blessing to those fields. Swahili, Portuguese, French and English are the languages in this shipment. We are not charging any price for these, and as usual, they are a gift from Wordproject contributors to those who are in need. We shall see, or perhaps we will never see, the impact these Bibles will have, but either way, we know it is written: ‘So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it’. Isaiah 55:11

All in all, it was a wonderful year of accomplishments at WP. Our servers served millions of copies of the Bible in over 70 languages, both in text and in audio. Check the stats below. We are honored to be a part in this calling and I am sure you are too. Thank you for your support and prayers.
