At In Touch it is important for us to connect with those who have no access to the latest technology or even to electricity. What about those who live in regions of the world where literature or broadcast signals are blocked by oppressive regimes? The Messenger, a hand-held device powered by solar energy, provides groundbreaking opportunities for us to deliver Christian teaching in places that were previously inaccessible.
The Messenger requires no batteries or electricity and arrives loaded with both the entire New Testament and more than 60 of Dr. Stanley's sermons. Currently, the Messenger is available in 12 languages, including Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish, Hindi, and Russian. More languages are coming, with particular attention being paid to tribal languages and those of unreached people groups. A particularly exciting development is how the Messenger reaches illiterate communities and cultures where copies of the Bible are sparse.
Thirty-eight years after receiving the gospel from missionaries, one village of Aché Indians in southeastern Paraguay has plans to take the good news of Jesus Christ to other peoples of the region. Joining their efforts to train up disciples, In Touch is supplying resources—including the Messenger, so that Dr. Stanley's sermons can be translated from Spanish into the tribe's native tongue.
The Aché learned of Jesus nearly four decades ago, but discipleship has been a slow process. For instruction and mentorship, they've turned to neighboring tribe, the Terena in Brazil. Here, a man from the Terena tribe trains several Aché men and women to use sound equipment. The group is presently working on translating some of Dr. Stanley's messages, in addition to texts from the Bible, which will be put onto a new edition of the In Touch Messenger created specifically for the tribe's use and ministry efforts in the region.
A young man from the village practices recording and editing audio.
ISRAEL
R (whose name is being withheld for protection) shared excitement about giving an Arabic player to an 18-year-old Muslim currently serving a jail sentence for theft. The young man has been faithfully listening to the player, and he’s said that he is open to the truth R has shared during his visits — and that he wants to embrace R’s faith.
PAKISTAN
“I gave a Messenger to a man who leads a ministry that works among the families in the brick kilns, where the Christians are virtually slaves to the Muslim owners. We are supporting 11 Sunday schools there and have set five families free. The head of this ministry is a real gospel-driven man who wants to see people converted and growing in Christ.”learnt with other people. May the Lord bless you.”
CHINA
“The Christians in China send you greetings and gratitude for the large quantity of Messengers sent! These are such a blessing and will aid in ministering to the lost.”
UNITED STATES
“I just received about 30 Messengers today, and I have already blessed two young paralyzed veterans in the spinal cord injury ward at the V.A. hospital with them. These are absolutely awesome. You should have seen the expression on the faces (and watery eyes) of the two vets I gave these to tonight—beyond words. In Touch Ministries will receive mighty spiritual blessings for providing such an amazing evangelistic tool!”
Since 2007, nearly half a million Messengers have been translated into 12 languages and distributed in more than 130 countries because of the faithful support of In Touch partners.
