Nepal-Listened to the whole bible!

"Group 3 now lineup and begin boarding" came over the tannoy speaker.

Im sitting in Qatar Airlines departure of lounge in Singapore about to board a very long flight and my phone pings with a Wattsapp message. "Hello Clive," from Prabina in Western Nepal., "do you have any more of those little Kulumi players here in Nepal, we just completed the very first whole bible using our OBT (Oral Bible Translating) process?" In what felt like seconds, Julie replied on WhatsApp there were several hundred stock sitting in our hub in Kathmandu. Prabina said they had only until Tuesday to get them to the team and go 35 miles in the mountains to dedicate their first OBT audio Bible for the Bajhangi people.

A quick prayer asking the Spirits direction was rudely interrupted by the next announcement: "Last call for Qatar Airlines...the the gate is closing". The Lord sometimes makes my impatient self wait, but today he did not hesitate and I was answered with a deep sense - how can we not be apart of this part of God's history?

"Prabina, please send all your audio files here...and I have a sense the Lord has 100 Kulumi X players on the way to you soon. "Prabina, I'm about to miss my flight, got to go."

A week or two later, we were learned how much these people loved their own scriptures in Bajhangi. One lady, never read anything in her life, began listening to Genesis 1 and five days later had listened to the whole Bible. (See video below).

How could we not be apart of this work of God?

No they did not close the flight on me.

The whole audio Bible in 5 Days, over 90hrs of listening!
