Another Language in Mozambique!!!!!! Takwane

 These people have received their Audio Bibles, but the Takwane are next.
We are so excited to report that the Takwane language in Mozambique has just been finished in the Audio.  The language will now be put on the players so the Takwane people will be hearing the Word of God in their own heart language( the language they pray in). Continue to pray with us that many will come to know Jesus as their personal Savior.  Pray with us as the next shipment of Audio Bibles will be sent out either the end of this year or early in the beginning of 2015, that 700 can be sent or more.                                                                                                                                                    
We are presently helping in teaching other nationals from Chad , Africa, South Korea, and Brazil to understand English, and then to be able to help translate the Bible in another language that has not been done yet.  In the World there are about 7,000 languages with people groups, and of those there are still about 1,800 that still need translating.  And since 2/3 of the world is an Oral culture, and can't read there is still much work to be done in recording the Audio Bibles that need to be done yet.  Of the languages that have been written and published for reading, only about 700 - 800 have been put into Audio Bibles.  So you can see the huge need to continue what the Lord has laid on our hearts. 

Doing the English Language Learning , here at Wycliffe in Orlando, I met a pastors wife, Ramatou.
She is working with her native women in Chad , Africa.  As you can see in this picture above, the women are so overjoyed when they receive the Audio Bibles.  They will be teaching their children, and also they will be teaching other women.  How great is our God!!!! 
A blessed Thanksgiving to all of you, and we send our love,

Light Comes into the Darkness

 This Audio Bible is giving this child Hope - Hope she can understand in her heart language!
People wait for hours to get help when the helicopter comes.They know there is Hope/light that comes when the helicopter lands and the missionaries bring the Audio Bibles to them. Light shines in the darkness!John 1 : 5"The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."  So God's Word opens Truth which is light, The Truth of Jesus Christ, and The darkness in Africa becomes light.  More Audio Bibles are being sent to West Africa to break through the darkness.
I love this photo of the Mercy Air helicopter in Mozambique as the light shines into the darkness!
The very helicopter that brings Audio Bibles to those in darkness.  The light is dawning and many are being saved and lives changed.
Here a woman is receiving her own Audio Bible in her language, the language she prays in.
Keith is handing it to her in her country of Mozambique in the area of the delta of the Zambazi River. We have raised more funds from those who are partnering with AFCC to send more Audio Bibles this year. Our travels took us to Iowa, and North Dakota this Aug. & Sept. We are so thankful to all of you who see the vision that God has given us to reach the lost by using technology in the Audio Bibles.

Please continue to pray with us that more Audio Bibles can be sent to Africa. We have the wildlife animals with the Audio Bibles placed in the pouch they have in them. We have the pilot project with World Hope International to give them out in the Rescue Center in Africa..  Again you may make your checks out to AFCC and mail them to 3399 142nd Ave Holland, Michigan 49424.
We have enough for about 20 of the Wildlife Animals with the Audio Bibles and are praying for 50.
So if the Lord puts it on your heart their cost is $50.00 to get them to where they are needed in the
people's own language.

July 16th,2014                   THIS IS THE SUNRISE COMING UP OVER THE INDIAN OCEAN IN
XAI XAI, MOZAMBIQUE , AFRICA
1John 3:18 (NLT) " Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each another, let us really show it by our
actions."        There are 600 more Audio Bibles being distributed in the area around Xai Xai this Summer.
Praise the Lord that is more then just saying you love them, it is action in giving them God's Word in a language they can understand!    Thank you!!!

We have received some feedback from one village where when asked how long they listened to their Audio Bibles, hands and arms went flailing every which way.  Sergio, the national started laughing , because you see they don't have watches or clocks.   The people where flailing their arms to show by the position of the sun , and so the arms going out .   Pointing to the early morning sky and the sun to when they would stop listening to their Audio Bible later when the sun was beginning to set.  Their day is from sunrise to sunset.  

We are in contact with World Hope International  who is helping in the fight against Trafficking.  We know a doctor couple that will be going to Sierra Leone this Fall.  There is a Rescue Recovery Center there for Women & Children.   Our passion is to send Audio Bibles in their heart language.   Some can be put into a new way of presenting the Audio Bible, which is a special pouch in a small stuffed animal.  These are to comfort the victims , with the Scripture and the stuffed animal holding it.   Here in the USA, teddy bears have been used to comfort and calm children when a tragedy has happened, and can be given by the hospital, or police, or the firemen.   We will be seeking to raise funds to send these there  with the doctors.  They will also bring Audio Bibles to several hospitals that they work with in Sierra Leone.  

You can put love into Action by supporting one of these Audio Bibles with the stuffed animal for $50.00.
You can send a check made out to AFCC     address it to   3399 142nd Ave. Holland , Mi. 49424
Hope we will see some of you , when we come to speak at your church this Aug. & Sept.

Spring is Growing & Audio Bibles Grow New Believers

1Corinthians 3: 7 (NLT) " The ones who do the planting or watering aren't important,  but God is important because He is the one who makes the seed grow. :8 The one who plants and the one who waters work as a team with the same purpose."  So my dear brothers & sisters in Christ we are all partners together on the same team, bringing The Bible to the lost, whether in written form or with the Audio Bibles which AFCC does. Another 600 Audio Bibles have been ordered and sent just this week!!  Thank you everyone!  The lost are coming to know Jesus as their Savior and growing in His Word.  One of the distributions took place this week in an area just north of Chimoio, where we were in Mozambique.  Praise the Lord .
We also are going to get more feedback from Moz. and from those who are getting the Audio Bibles.  If you would like to purchase one for a person or family and get their name/s , let us know . The cost is $40.00 , which includes duty & distribution costs. The check can be made out to AFCC and sent to 3399 142nd Ave. Holland, Mi. 49424    We will also ask you to pray for the family / person if you desire to.  AFCC(Ambassadors for Christ Connecting wants to say a big Thank You again.
