Fundraiser With Talking Bibles!
Today we learn how Talking Bibles are bringing the Word of God to half the world who can't read and who've perhaps never heard of Jesus! "Talking Bibles International" has distributed 88,000 audio New Testaments in 34 countries and 73 languages! Each Talking Bible is $50, buy 2 for $100, or 10 for $500! To help, 888-799-49-99.
• Looks like a printed Bible of passport size, but with the push of a button, the entire New Testament loud enough for a group of about 20 to hear comfortably. So as soon as people get one, they invite friends and family over, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, there's "book of Acts" results! With new believers getting baptized and churches popping where they had only been spiritual darkness.
• Just like us, listeners are able to hear the Word of God more often than they're able to read it. These people of oral cultures may not read and write, but they have phenomenal memories who can repeat a story in great detail after hearing it only once. And they love stories! So people hear the words of Jesus, then spontaneously tell others without urging, embarrassment or difficulty.
• We're joined by Dr. Harvey Hoekstra (87), the founder and now Chairman of the Board of Talking Bibles International (talkingbibles.org), and two of his sons Paul Hoekstra and Mark Hoekstra.
