In the
mountainous Himalayas of North India, the Lord has set up
a leader with great vision, Sam. For two years Sam used
the one Hindi copy of GS that a friend had given him.
With great joy and excitement he "discovered"
at Amsterdam that our vision was to produce GS in
multiple world languages. We sent him one Evangelist
Backpack and a PA.
He writes, "All most every week we screen the
God's Story in our week long "Great Commission
training Center" . In this Institute we bring
believers from all over the state and give intensive
training for the discipleship and foundation of
Christian life. In each batch we train 10 to 15 people.
So far seven batch has completed the training and they
are a helping hand for reaching the untold and planting
House Churches in their respective villages. Also in the
villages we show this story. All of them love to see and
they say this is far more clear than the "Jesus Film"
to understand what the Bible is all about and easy to
understand the purpose of following the Lord. [We here at
TGSP like to see the two films used in concert. First lay
the foundation of Old and New Testament as seen in God's
Story, and then play the Jesus film and the viewers
understanding seems to increases.]
Sam, this outstanding
leader in North India, has already orchestrated the
translation of five new languages. He now has English and
Hindi in his schools. Although the people can sort of
understand the two languages, neither are their heart
languages.
Remember taking a class in Spanish, French or German
in school? If you stuck with it you could communicate
basic truths like "Where is the library?" or
"The book is on the table." But when it came to
deep feelings and spiritual truths, ones heart language
was always the best.
As donors sponsor EV Backpacks and solar-powered audio-players,
and as friends carry them in to emerging nations, we can
supply dedicated national workers with these productive
tools.
