God's Word in Audio - Testimonies
Faith Comes By Hearing associates gather information and testimonies about what God is doing in and through Audio Bible listening programs around the world. Together with Wycliffe wonderful progress is being made for God's kingdom in Ecuador.
A Whole New Story
Milton, a faithful worker distributing the Proclaimer, also spends hours listening to it himself. Although he learned to read about four or five years ago, he still struggles to understand what he is reading. But, the Proclaimer has brought the New Testament to life for him.
One day, Milton and two little non-Christian Awa boys were looking at a picture book of New Testament stories. As the boys flipped thru the pictures of Jesus' life and miracles, and other stories such as Paul's adventures on his missionary journeys, Milton commented about each one saying,
I know these stories because I've been listening to all of them on the Proclaimer!"It was neat to hear him share with the boys all that he knew making each picture come to life for them. For the boys, it was a whole new story!
Awa Project, a Partnership with Wycliffe
The Awa people of Colombia and Ecuador are only about 1,600 in number — and although some of them have a rough understanding of the Spanish language, most speak and intrinsically understand only their native Awa tongue. Thank God for the Audio Drama New Testament, which has just been introduced in Ecuador. When the first two colporteurs, who would carry the Word to their people, found out there were 100 Proclaimers available, they were thrilled — but also noted, they could use about 300! The Awa do not live in communities, but in small family units miles from one another. There is no church among them; but in this family setting, home listening groups will be established.
