Dear Outreacher: 

             The nationals are still going strong – and we are doing all we can to stimulate funding to meet their equipment needs.

             Our Director Troy Majeska and his bride- to-be have set plans for honeymooning in Ghana, Africa and then on to Cameroon – both areas to be assisted in achieving early ability to handle both the audio and the digital requirements for the AMBASSADOR UNITS. Praise the Lord for leading Troy so wonderfully!

             In the meantime, Pastor Prince Paul Konu had an accident to his right arm while returning from the CDP fields. He seems in good spirits, we expect added detail soon. We were able to forward him some funds to help pay the hospital bill.

             Our attention has shifted strongly to the AMBASSADOR UNIT as our main audio player.

             The following shows the incipient power of the UNIT – really an intangible related to how it affects the listener.

             We are just now starting to switch over from Hand-cranked Cassette Players to the amazing AMBASSADOR UNIT.

             The cassette player was for many years the audio player of choice - there was nothing to compare with it.

             The AMBASSADOR UNIT is now readily available, and nearly the price of cassette players (with the total cost of ownership 1/10th that of the cassette player).

             Known as the Audio Bible in your pocket -- it is small and a mighty messenger of His Goodness and Grace.

The Amazing AMBASSADOR UNIT

And a Chief in Cameroon, Africa

            One AMBASSADOR UNIT was just recently taken into a new village area - the Village Evangelist first visiting the Chief of the area, seeking his approval to present the Gospel via the AMBASSADOR UNIT to his people.

            The Chief listened intently to the whole sound track of the Jesus Film in his language.

 His first question was "why did Jesus only live 33 years"? - He was told that Jesus came to us as the Lamb of God, a sacrifice for all of our sins!

            The Chief then stated he wanted all his people to hear about Jesus - giving them his approval, also giving them a plot of land on which to construct a church,

            He accepted Jesus as His personal Savior and Lord before the VE left that day.

            Also, the Chief asked the VE to leave the AMBASSADOR UNIT with him for a week so all his wives could hear the good news!

            I think we can extrapolate this encounter to each and every AMBASSADOR UNIT that we place - there are 10,000 VEs waiting for them right now!                                  

             How many would YOU like to send out? - Yes, you can reach out to 10,000 Villagers for only $35.00 – reach out to 100,000 Villagers for $350.00 – reach out to a million Villagers for only $3,500.00.

        The 10,000 Units we now need World-Wide would only cost about $300,000.00 (imagine, for the cost of a small home we can reach out to 100-milliion precious souls on a regular basis). You know -- about 40% normally come to Jesus!  That is right -- go ahead say it -- WOW!!!

            We need to think BIG - the nationals are ready and waiting to be equipped - time is short - we must be about HIS business. - We must equip the Harvesters before it is forever too late!

Yes, -- how many AMBASSADOR UNITS will YOU send?

NOTE:

We are including the following report of discussions we had with Mr. Tom Treseder of MegaVoice.  I am sure that you will see the remarkable parallels to the miracles that we have shared with you previously – they shout to us – and we rejoice that The MegaVoice Miracles also started some 19 years ago, was all in the heart and mind of our Father-God even for us today!!

 
The AMBASSADOR UNIT -- part of The MegaVoice miracle

            We have all been thrilled, as down through the years we have read in the Bible of God doing extraordinary things. Miracles are things where God steps in to act in ways where the result can only be attributed to Him. The parting of the Red Sea, a rock spouting water when struck by a stick, a fish caught in the Sea of Galilee with a coin in it's mouth, The man though dead and buried for several days raised to life -- and so the list goes on.

            Even in 1455 when Johan Gutenberg designed and produced the first printing press and production quantities of Bibles began to roll off this new technology. Multiplied billions of people around the world who can read, have been blessed and have valued greatly those printed Bibles ever since. Indeed not just the Bible but other printed material as well. Yes, -- a miracle, bringing light out of the dark ages.

Today billions are illiterate, 80% of the world can’t read

            Now let me share a new and miraculous story that I believe will astound and thrill you.
            I've just met Tom Treseder, a tall Australian, who was concerned for the eternal welfare of the world's illiterates. And, being aware of the fact that they were not being reached with the Word of God in printed form, asked the Lord for a miracle.

            An industrial designer by profession and at the time Director of Bible Society in Australia (NSW) Tom asked the Lord if it might be possible to design some new form of communication which could communicate God's Word indeed the Good News to absolutely everybody in the world. That meant:
*  Even those who speak12,000 languages that to date have no written language.
*  The 90 million who are blind and visually impaired,
*  The aged and infirmed.
*  The children and youth.
*  The handicapped and sick.
*  The poor and the marginalized.
*  Those living in areas hostile to the Christian Gospel.
*  The majority of our world who now receive their communication through, television, radio, CDs, etc.
*  Certainly all those for whom the Bible has not yet been translated.

Tom's prayer was that the Lord would give him a new means of communication, one which would overcome all the problems inherent in existing cassettes, IPODS, CDs and their vulnerable, bulky, high cost players.

He wanted it to be:
*   sand, water and vermin proof.
*   to have no moving parts, nothing to wear out.
*   to be robust, as it would be used in the harshest areas of our world.
*   to be lightweight, for ease of carrying and minimizing freight costs.
*   to be discreetly designed, so that in closed and or restricted countries it would not draw attention to itself.
*   incredibly easy to navigate, for the blind, aged and unsophisticated.
*   to be able to be listened to in private with an ear bud, yet by a family or group (say 50) or clearly by thousands, when an amplifier is plugged in.
*   to not require being plugged into a power point as most people do not have one.
*   of the greatest importance was that the message be secure, could not be indiscriminately wiped off and Christians money wasted.

Tom also said, he wanted it to be able to hang around a persons neck, so that no matter wherever they went, or whatever they were doing, day or night, they could be educated and indeed hear the Good News.

So that's not a bad prayer request, is it? But it was made with that lovely, clear verse in mind, "With God, all things are possible."


With his first concept sketches in hand, he was led in a remarkable way to meet Ken Crowell a positive minded, Godly, American who with his wife, almost three decades ago, established a remarkable, tent building, electronics company in Tiberius and this on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. Ken, also with a passion for the Bible and the lost of the world, immediately saw how this new dream, this vision, this possibility before him, could change history. He saw how it could be used by the whole Christian church, to reach the whole world for Christ. He also saw how it could mean the 80% of the world who don't read, could for the first time in their lives, "hear the sound of his words."


Inspired by dolls and God.

Tom says, initially he was inspired by talking dolls and Mazda cars that say, "Shut the door." He thought, if they can store a ten second message on a little piece of rock (silicon) then why not put two, three, four chips together and increase the length of the message. Ken and his gifted and inspired development team quickly expanded and with much rejoicing brought the length of message up to 5 minutes, then 15, 30, 60 minutes and so on. Their focus and passion was always to be able to store the entire Bible, an incredible 80 hours of oral rendition. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, their team have done what no one else has ever done and they love saying   "It is the Lord's doing and is marvelous in our eyes."

He says Ken and he remark about the verse, "There's nothing new under the sun." Here MegaVoice are using the same material that Moses used for the very first books in the world, tablets of stone. So even that verse "Even the stones will cry out," takes on new meaning with MegaVoice.


         The MegaVoice Ambassador Bible.
Today, the robust, solar and battery powered Ambassador has the capacity to store up to 4 Bibles or 320 hours of any number of secure messages. Many are claiming this and other products called MegaVoice to be  "Gifts from God." Fitting into the smallest woman's hand, hanging decoratively around the neck, sitting on a log under a tree, on a table in a church or fitting in a shirt pocket, anyone can hear, anywhere, at anytime, God's precious Word.

This self powered, remarkable audio book, enables every missionary, minister, Christian leader, theological lecturer, Bible translator, to multiply, with every once of the passion they portray, every message he or she presents. On the MegaVoice Ambassador, those messages will be heard over and over again as those trained go home. It's almost as good as the lecturer going out into the individual villages with them. I'm sure you can see, it is a training tool second to none.

              The Scribe field programmer 

Then as if that's not enough, there's more.

The Scribe field programmer has been described by a world missions leader as "The missing link in world evangelization." This lightweight, hand held, self powered unit is like a mobile audio library.  Holding any number of messages, it allows any Christian mission to program or reprogram their Ambassadors on the spot. It programs a New Testament in just 40 seconds, a Bible in 70. Can you imagine what this can do in the hands of virtually every mission organization, Bible college, Christian aid agency around the world? Every mission, their staff and translators, can progressively build Bibles as the audio text becomes available. Is that not for you absolutely amazing and miraculous?
                This new technological provision, as perhaps nothing previously, has the potential to accelerate the provision of the "audio rendered" Word of God, beyond anything yet seen.
                 The Massive MegaVoice Audio Library In partnership with a wide range of associated missions, MegaVoice is able to offer the body of Christ an immense range of messages in over 6300 languages. Bibles, New Testaments, Scripture portions, The Jesus video text, God's Story, HIV/AIDs prevention messages and so the list goes on. With the unlimited power of the Internet, or alternately mailed CDs, missionaries down load MegaVoice prepared messages into their mission computers anywhere in the world. These messages when loaded into a MegaVoice Scribe, provides the missionary with the ability to program any number of Ambassadors, right there on the spot. Operated by a gifted team in Tiberius, they're ready to serve the world. This is the largest and most comprehensive, Gospel audio library in the world today.
                Tom says: “It is true to say, there have been many hurdles to jump, mountains to climb and challenges to overcome throughout these almost 19 years.  With our committed and prayerful team we have seen the Lord provide our needs and for this we praise Him. With His enabling and the trust and encouragement of some positive brothers and sisters, we have kept the focus.
                             Let the whole World hear His Voice

            This prophetic slogan was the thrust of the 1974 Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. With these "gifts from God" via MegaVoice, for the first time in history, that slogan now becomes, possible.

                We at M/E International, with our growing Cassette Discipleship Program (CDP) Network of Village Evangelists, now see the AMBASSADOR UNIT to be our most powerful tool for the coming years.

                Yes, we will literally need hundreds of thousands of the AMBASSADOR UNITS – 10,000 right now and growing to pace the National’s drive to reach all their villagers by the end of 2010 AD.

                How many will you send? – an Outpost of 20 VEs needs 20 -- cost $700.00.  You will help reach out to 200,000 Villagers with the precious Gospel of Light and Life!
