JUNE 2021 MONTHLY UPDATE
A Note from the CEO
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved — Ephesians 2:4-5 ESV
In the 2nd chapter of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul begins with a sobering reminder of the lostness from which believers have been redeemed. But in these same verses, we also see God’s amazing grace, mercy and love fully displayed as he makes us alive together with Christ. Death to life… God’s redemptive plan is continually revealed throughout scripture. Therefore, it is essential that we continue to work to provide audio bibles to the millions of oral learners who do not have access to the vital truths of the Bible.
As highlighted below, we continue to make good progress towards accelerating Bible recording. We celebrate the recent completion of two India recordings and one in Peru. Because of our work on our first recording in Peru we have secured a new agreement with the Peruvian Bible Society to record six additional bibles. Below you will find more information about our recording work in Peru. We trust that as the people of Peru hear the Word of God, they will live transformed for God’s glory.
Lastly, we ask you to please pray for those who have lost loved ones or who have fallen ill due to the resurgence of COVID around the world, as well as the prayer requests below. We are grateful for the perseverance of our recording teams as they faithfully press on to record bibles for those waiting to hear.
Thank you for your continued prayers and generous support of the kingdom work of Davar.
Blessings,
W. Mark Perkins, CEO
