The Proclaimers have been ordered.

Earlier this spring our church was involved in a program
called Faith Comes by Hearing which distributes free of charge
CDs of the Bible for listening purposes.

A few week ago I received an email from the organization
(www.faithcomesbyhearing.com) forwarded by our Pastor.
The email contained a link directing me to the Every Church
Every Village program which provides Proclaimers in different
languages including the Mayan dialect of Kachiquel which is
specific to the very village where we will be going, Santa Maria
de Jesus. How awesome is that!

How does the Proclaimer work?

◦An installed microchip contains Scriptures in the heart language; the chip will not erase or wear out from frequent playing.
◦The battery will play for 15 hours and can be recharged enough times to play the entire New Testament more than 1,000 times.
◦The Proclaimer has a built-in generator and solar panel to charge the battery.
◦The solar panel, in addition to charging the battery, will run the Proclaimer even without battery power as long as there is sunlight.
◦The sound is digital quality and loud enough to be heard clearly by groups as large as 300.
The Proclaimer was developed primarily as a playback device for poor and illiterate people who may not have any other source to hear God's Word. Our goal is to use the Proclaimer in the majority of our FCBH programs worldwide.

Ten proclaimers have been shipped to me to take and should here
in 10 days or so.

What a gift to be able to share with the Santa Maria de Jesus
where there are many illiterate people.

The Every Church Every Village program requires listening groups
to be set up and pictures to be taken of the groups using the
Proclaimers.

I cannot wait to share them!
