Many Amhara of Ethiopia listen to the “memory cards” they have been given for their cell phones. Each memory card contains all the Chronological Bible Stories, the “JESUS” film, the “Magdalena” film, the “Creation to Christ” story with pictures, the audio New Testament, the entire Bible written in Amharic, discipleship Bible stories, and 150 songs that are Scripture based and are in the Orthodox style. People with these cards can transmit them to other phones via blue tooth. This is not expected to replace “mouth-to-mouth” evangelism, but it’s a great way to distribute the Word of God.  Believers around the country of Tunisia are using Discovery Bible Studies (DBS) to help seekers interact with the Word of God. One couple prints off Bible passages in three languages side-by-side--Arabic, French and English--to share with their neighbors. After the neighbors read the passage, the husband asks them to retell the story in their own words. He then continues to ask them questions that help them discover God’s truth for themselves: “What does this passage mean? What do you need to do about what you have learned? Who can you tell this story to this week?” The long-awaited, complete Bible in Udmurt is currently being printed. Praise God that the printed copies will soon be sent to Udmurtia, where, for the first time, Udmurts will be able to read God’s written Word from Genesis to Revelation in their own language. On the other hand, many of the Tuareg of the Sahel are unable to read and write. In one of their Tamashek dialects, the New Testament is being recorded so that these oral learners can listen to the Word.  * Please pray for Bible translators and recorders that God will bless them with good health, clear voices, and recording sessions that go smoothly. * Ask God to particularly bless the distribution and transmission of materials via memory cards. * Intercede for the Tunisian, Tuareg, Udmurt, and Amhara peoples that they will realize that God’s Word is indeed a treasure.
