Bibles
We, together with the P churches, would like to express a huge thank you to all who donated for the P Bible project! Thank you so much! In 2021, the Lord raised up $90,000, and we were able to print, ship, and distribute 20,000 P Bibles. As the Bibles were distributed, they ran out in one month’s time, and the P churches said they needed more!
So in 2022, the Lord raised up another $60,000, and we were able to print another 15,000 P Bibles! Praise the Lord! These Bibles were printed and shipped across Colombia to a P village on the border of Venezuela. On June 26, 2023, in the heart of the rainy season, the Lord miraculously held off the rain and the P people themselves shuttled hundreds of boxes by motorcycle and then dugout canoe across a mighty River! Pray for their widespread and efficient distribution throughout the nation. We desire to see a Bible given to every single P reader.
Children’s Resources
We have printed several copies of the P language primers, and now many P teachers are teaching other teachers to use them for teaching children how to read the P language. We are now working on a children’s Bible book in P and a children’s Sunday school curriculum in P. We will need additional funds of about $25,000 to print these resources for the children.
Radios
Since 1991 when, as a young missionary, I, Tim, began to teach the Word of God to the P people, it became immediately evident that we needed a high-quality translation of the Bible in the P language to teach this people group. Their hunger for the Word and their attention to detail could not be satisfied without one. We then began the translation project in 1994, and 27 years later, by the Lord’s mercy, we finished the New Testament in their heart language! During those years of translating the Bible, we, as foreigners in Venezuela, could no longer continue there, and we were evicted from working any longer in the indigenous territory. Additionally, the country itself fell apart politically and economically, and so, we were no longer able to live there safely or legally among the P people.
However, the Lord connected us to Russell Stendal and the SOM radio ministry in Colombia! This daily radio broadcast covers the entire P nation of 20,000 square miles of rainforest. Can you believe that even though we cannot be there physically, the Lord is giving me 30 minutes per day of air time, and I can now teach verse by verse through the Bible in the P language to reach every single P village, hut, canoe, garden and trail! The airwaves are transmitting as we speak, but the only problem is that even though the radio signal is arriving to all these places, the people can’t hear the program without a shortwave radio.
Praise the Lord that He provided enough money to purchase and ship 3,000 specially manufactured solar radios to them. Two thousand eight hundred have already arrived, and the remaining 200 are on their way, but what are 3,000 radios among a nation of 100,000 people? These radios built by Galcom International are solar-powered, self-recharging radios that have a memory chip inside them, which also contains the entire P audio NT, Christian P music, and every radio program we have recorded to date so that even when there is no signal, the people can play the device and still be listening to the Word of God. This is dramatically changing lives! The power of the Gospel, love, and truth of Jesus Christ transforms every heart that hears it.
These special radios are $30 each, but we trust in God who is able to provide them. We are asking for as many radios as He deems fit. Our first goal was 3,000 radios, and God provided. We are now asking Him for another 10,000 radios. But even 20,000 would not be too many. Galcom agreed to subsidize some of the radio costs, so they are now $20 each. Please pray with us about this great opportunity to provide the teaching of the Word of God to this unnoticed and forgotten nation of hungry souls. As I have been teaching verse by verse on the radio in the P language every day, I sense the Holy Spirit moving strongly in my heart, and it makes me realize that He must be doing powerful things in the hearts of every listener, transforming lives, bringing souls out of darkness into His marvelous light through these wonderful words of life recorded in the Holy Scriptures and translated into the P language. This is the power of the Gospel! By the words of truth and the work of the Holy Spirit, it changes lives, which in turn changes the world.
Every $20 raised will provide a radio to an individual family or village living in the dense, remote rainforest communities of the Amazon state of Venezuela. The purchase of even one radio will have a remarkable impact on many people.
God is working a huge revival in Venezuela and this radio program is now a key part of this revival among the P people. Very soon, we will also be installing a recording studio with quality equipment and training the P people themselves to record radio programs. Very soon, it will not only be me on the air, but many of the P pastors and teachers as well as talented P musicians will be filling the airwaves with the transforming Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in their own native tongue.
No gift is too small in helping us achieve our next goal of providing at least 10,000 additional radios for the P people. The twisted world agenda, pornography, cults, and all types of satanic destruction are rapidly moving into the P world and sadly influencing their nation for the worse. May the power of the word go forth to shine light into these dark places.
