Reading with Understanding

In a recent newsletter a couple* who are Career Ministry Field Workers in East Asia shared some wonderful stories of lives changed.

They focus on justice and equal access to the truth, summarising their work as ‘providing equal access to the Gospel’.

The scriptures are presented as untrustworthy because those in authority claim the Bible has been corrupted. The Quran has been wrongly interpreted to keep people in bondage, despite many verses pointing to the need to read the Bible and have faith in the Word of God.

To overcome these injustices and false teachings, they are preparing and distributing scripture portions in a language the people can understand. This opens doors, helps to explain difficult concepts, which helps people accept the scriptures as uncorrupted and receive them as the true world of God. They find it a joy to see people soaking themselves in the Word and spending any time they can in reading and memorizing as much as possible.

A community leader joined the distribution and teach team as an ‘apprentice’ so he can do the same outreach in his own village!

Genealogy of Jesus in Arabic

They are opening the Quran in conjunction with the Bible to show what it actually says about Jesus and the Bible. A series of studies on are being prepared to assist with this.

A recent conversation with a friend culminated with the young man suggesting he should read the Bible and asking where he could get a copy, which they were able to provide him with one!
