FEBRUARY 2021 MONTHLY UPDATE

A Note from the CEO

Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all! 2 Thessalonians 3:16

The Apostle Paul’s closing benediction to the church of the Thessalonians calls attention to God’s characteristic of peace, which he offered to the church to reflect upon given the spiritual battle that raged around them. We too are not immune from spiritual battles that may be raging around us today. Yet, we can experience God’s peace that yields a tranquil soul assured of its salvation through Christ. As the audible Word of God is shared, may many others come to know God’s peace offered freely through the gospel.

We are very thankful for the 24 audio recording projects currently underway, for the addition of Anna Jenkins as our new Investor Relations Coordinator and so much more! As we launch into the new year, we remain committed to our vision to transform the lives of families, tribes, and nations that they may live transformed for God’s glory through access to the recorded Word of God.

Thank you for partnering with us!

Blessings,

W. Mark Perkins, CEO

Audio Production Update

Taita – Old Testament

Language in need of support

Taita (Dawida or Davida) is a Bantu language spoken in the hills of Kenya. There are over 385,000 Taita speakers worldwide, 93% of which live in Kenya and the remainder in Tanzania. Today, the influence of Western values has drastically changed the face of their belief system. Over 80% of the Taita people claim Christianity, while only 38% are evangelical. Others practice Islam or Kenyan traditional religions. With a literacy rate of 1-5% in this region, an audio Bible will be an essential tool to learning the Word of God and experiencing his transforming love.
