Our focus remains to make the Word of God available to those who do not read.
Dr Johan Louw joined MVIA on 1 July 2023 as the special projects coordinator. Johan interfaces and cares for our donors. We offer training in various areas:
- Interactive Bible Discovery
- Entrepreneurship
- Sportsmanship
Our media cloud has grown significantly in 2023. We now have 417 Full Bibles (Genesis to Revelation) 1466 New Testaments, 447 languages with God’s Story, etc in 8480 languages and dialects. More can be found online by following the link.
Thank the Lord for a record number of 400,000 audio Bibles distributed worldwide in 2023. Pray for more to be done in Africa, and more by Africans. We plan to distribute 500,000 units in 2024. We cannot do it alone but need your partnership.
In 2023 we distributed audio Bibles and sign-language tablets in Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Togo, Niger, Nambia, Mozambique, Zambia and many more countries. Hands with Words launched 110 Bible portions in the South African Sign Language (SASL).
MegaVoice Southern Africa, a subsidiary of MegaVoice Limited, established recording studios in Pretoria. In Touch Ministries contracting MegaVoice to translate and record Dr Charles Stanley’s messages was the catalyst for this development. Philip Jansen van Rensburg joined MegaVoice Southern Africa (MVZA) in July 2023 to manage this project. Currently, a set of 15 African languages are being recorded – Amharic, Bari, Tumbuka, Bemba, Sudanese Arabic, etc.
The donations received are gradually growing after our largest donor retired from active business in 2022. Without partnerships, we cannot fulfill our visions of all having access to the Word of God in their language.
