NEW SONGS NEW TRANSLATIONS NEW BIBLES NEW AUDIO BIBLES

REVELATION 14: 3 ......THEY SANG A NEW SONG........
REVELATION 5:9 ....AND THEY SANG A NEW SONG,,,,,,
REVELATION 7 : 9........"After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people , and language standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb."

It is a NEW YEAR and exciting things are happening.  500 more Audio Bibles have been sent to Mozambique, Africa.   New languages are being put on the Audio Bibles.  New Translations are being done around the World in an accelerated pace!  The Mega Voice devices can also hold Christian music and songs in these new heart languages.   It is spectacular to see the Word of God going out into new areas.  Nationals are being trained to do the translations because the Church worldwide is asking to have their heart languages translated. So Wycliffe Associates introduced what they call the BTAK  or Bible Translation Acceleration Kit.   God also has heard the Church Universal's prayers to get their heart languages done soone rather then the years & years it has been taking.  The Audio Bibles we distribute with our partner Audio Scripture Ministries, and Mega Voice, can be the bridge the first translation that is written, yet where the people group are oral . Now they need to learn to read their new written language.  It takes time for the people group to become literate, and using the Audio Bibles helps them in the process.  

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.

Audio Bibles for the poor & helpless, women & children:

 Children who need to hear the Word of God in their own heart language. Many never get to go to school and especially the girls aren't allowed to go to school, because the boys are allowed first. Our Lord Jesus brings transformation and hope to hopeless lives in Mozambique.  The SENA language( 400 more this Fall) has been distributed around the Chimoio area and north.  So this year 800 Audio Bibles have gone out from AFCC.  Now enough funds have come in to order another 500 Audio Bibles .  These will also go North and Central into Mozambique. Lives are being changed and people are listening to TRUTH, as they receive God's GRACE through His Word.  Thank you for being on the Team and partnering with us as we following the leading of the Lord to expand His Kingdom.

 Francious, is a missionary that is passionate about God's Word in Audio, and goes with his wife Alta, traveling thousands of miles in Mozambique, Malawi, and then back to Chimoio, to distribute the Audio Bibles we had sent to them.   We praise the Lord that they are part of the CONNECTING as all of you are also in getting the Audio Bibles out to the lost people . Matthew 28:19" Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations............."  
KEEP PRAYING MORE AUDIO BIBLES CAN BE SENT AND MANY WILL PARTNER WITH AFCC .
Blessings to all of you as you are blessed to be a blessing!!!
Chaplain Vicky & Keith DeKraker

 Alta, distributing Audio Bibles and needed materials to the women in Mozambique.

Eunice, one of the leaders working with women & children. I went with her to distribute Audio Bibles in 2012 and with Alta, into the village near Chimoio, Mozambique.  It was through the bush and through the riverbed, and up the rough eroded road on the side of a riverbank.

PSALM 31:15

PSALM 31: 15 " My times are in Your hand............."   It has been a long spell between our input for the blog and now.  God has been in control, yet the time has gotten away from us.  We came back to Michigan to a flooded basement.  After two months of hard work it is cleaned up and better than before. Our son's wife, Heidi, has had on going medical problems and we ask for your prayers for her. Keith again has had some back issues and this is disappointing and we also ask for prayers. Our grandsons , who have M.D. need ongoing prayers as the older grandson is declining.
As to the timing of the Lord in getting more Audio Bibles to Mozambique, He is right on time!!!! An order has been made for 400 more in SENA.  The latest language recorded in Xai Xai , Moz.  The same language that was flown into the Zambazi Delta in April of 2012 in Mozambique.

A compassionate & loving mother kisses her child.  Our heavenly Father is compassionate & loving, as He provides His Word to a lost world.   We bring His Word in Audio to Africa in their heart languages and so are praying for more partners to increase the funds that then allow us to order and send more Audio Bibles to Mozambique.  Lamentations 3: 22 - 24 " Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His Compassions fail not, They are new every morning: Great is Your faithfulness. 24" The Lord is my portion, says my soul, Therefore I hope in Him."   We bring Hope to lost people by His Word in Audio, the Audio Bible in their language.  Hope that is compassionate & loving from their Heavenly Father!  So rejoice with us that we have ordered 400 more Audio Bibles to bring the gospel to lost people in Africa.  The focus is Mozambique, the area around Chimoio and the Delta of the Zambazi River at the present time.
