How many more people will die without hearing God’s Word?

My good friend Pastor Lipiyus contacted me recently. “We are trying to bring the Word of God to our people David,” he said, “but most do not read and they speak so many dialects. Can you help us? Our people will sacrifice even up to their whole family’s monthly income ($35) to have an audio Bible in their own homes.”

This is the region of the world where the Tsunami killed over 230,000 people. There are scarcities of many basic resources and yet what they hunger for is access to God’s Word. Their tragedy seems now far behind us as the new disaster in Haiti has emerged. Haiti is far more evangelized, between Catholics and Protestants, however it is generally acknowledged that the national religion and practice even among Christians is Voodoo. Why? Because they know God’s Word through intermediaries only and haven’t been steeped in its study and truth because most of the people of Haiti DO NOT READ. Haiti has the highest illiteracy rate in the Western Hemisphere with most Haitians unable to read well enough to engage with the Bible. No wonder so many don’t know the difference between Christianity and Voodoo!

The times seem to be getting shorter as earthquakes, famines and wars increase. The Mission of Davar is to enable the maximum number of non readers to personally engage with the Word of God in the shortest amount of time possible utilizing the most effective means available.

Won’t you join us in praying regularly that the Word of God gets to the desperate and needy while there is still time?

Shalom,
