In December, one of our colleagues stopped by the Christian radio station and dropped off a copy of the beautiful new Pijin Bible Story book for kids. She told radio station staff that she would leave the book for them if they promised to read the Bible stories on the air. Recently the station has started reading a Bible story each afternoon.A couple of weeks ago, she dropped off a set of CDs that contain the dramatized Pijin New Testament that was produced by Faith Comes by Hearing. Last week the station started playing one chapter a day at three different times during the day! That's exciting!
On March 20th at the National Parliament, we dedicated this special Solomon Islands Bible Display. It contains the Pijin Bible that was presented to the Prime Minister on the 30th Anniversary of Independence in July of last year. On the shelf up above are all (except 1) of the Bibles and New Testaments in vernacular languages that have been published since Independence. Standing in front of the display is our friend Patson who helped make the cover the display. It was really great to see people walk up to the display and look at all the Bibles in the vernacular languages and try and see if there was a Bible in their own language. Clearly those who didn't have a Bible in the display were disappointed.

How awesome this is!!!! I still cannot imagine what it would be like to not be able to pick up my Bible and read. I am ashamed when the day is gone and I am reading at bedtime for the first time that day.
I am thankful for the fact that you all and the kids have your "Jesus time" every morning to begin your day...
It is an amazingly gorgeous day here after the hail storms yesterday..hope your day was great too.
Thanks for the updates in your part of the world.
Love to all.
