Godpods for Papua New Guinea
There is an urgent need in the country of Papua New Guinea. We recently learned that over half of the people in this country have never read the Scriptures —not even once—because they don’t know how to read.
That means that more than 3 million people scattered throughout Papua New Guinea’s 600 islands have never read God’s Word. And while the Gospel message has reached many people on the main islands, there are many in the remote villages who have yet to hear the story of Jesus.
As with our Kalahari Desert project, we have committed to supplying the remote tribes and villages of Papua New Guinea with “Godpods.” These ingenious solar-powered audio Bibles require no batteries and absolutely no maintenance.
Each Godpod contains the complete Bible, a set of Bible lessons, Steps to Christ, health talks and inspired children’s stories.
So far we have delivered a total of 4,000 Godpods to the people in the remote tribes of Papua New Guinea. But that’s just the beginning, because many more are needed. Our goal is to raise enough funds for 10,000 units. That way, everyone in PNG who wants to learn about God can have access to His Word.
An additional 6,000 Godpods will substantially cover the islands. At $50 per Godpod, this means raising an additional $300,000—a real challenge. But it translates to just $1 per person. How is that possible? The plan is to provide one Godpod for every extended family unit. This means one audio Bible for every 50 people!
We know that reaching these dear people is in God’s plan. He commissioned you and me to go to “every nation, tribe, tongue and people” with the Gospel message. He said this would be accomplished right before His coming. And what a privilege it is to see this promise being fulfilled right before our eyes!
Please prayerfully consider a special gift today to continue the distribution of God’s Word throughout Papua New Guinea. Every dollar you give represents one person reached for Jesus. You will be placing the Word of God directly into the hands of a family in a remote corner of Papua New Guinea.
