These monthly updates are hard to write. Why? Because God gives us daily glimpses into His work via media around the world – and it is hard to know what to share with you in this one-paragraph update. Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph and Morse code, expressed the power of media in 1844 in history’s first electronic message, telegraphed from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, which said: “What hath God wrought?” (Numbers 23:23b). Indeed. God has done and is doing infinitely great things through the airwaves He created for His glory and the blessing of the nations. On an average day we find ourselves involved in one or two dozen projects – in that many countries – where God’s servants are working to translate, proof, revise, record, print, broadcast and/or distribute ROCK’s multi-language multi-media gospel tools – resources made freely available to untold millions. All electronically. All in a day. “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the Lord has made…” (Psalm 118:23-24).

One story you’ll hear in this podcast comes from a coworker in a restricted-access country, where believers use and distribute ROCK’s multi-language gospel resources. He writes: “Today brother ‘A’ was arrested for engaging in our evangelistic distribution. A woman saw him and turned him into the police. He was detained; they tried to confiscate his car, but God gave ‘A’ great boldness and he started to share the Gospel with the police. The police were so shocked by his witness that they forgot to take the car and released him. God’s power trumps the police!”

Thank you for your prayers and part in the ongoing construction projects and ministries to youth in Niger, Senegal and Tanzania. In this past month, each nation has faced heart-rending events with terrorist attacks in Niger, political upheaval and riots in Senegal, and the death of the president in Tanzania. Yet in the midst of it all, God is at work by His Spirit, through His Word, via His faithful servants. Praise the Lord!
