David Spencer, a UB endorsed missionary serving in Brazil with Wycliffe Bible Translators, sent this note about a fascinating resource you might want to check out:

Many people still may view missions as a man with a pith helmet and machete chopping his way through the jungle. However, today it is likely his machete has been replaced by a laptop and a satellite phone.

We would like you to know about some technology that Wycliffe is using to help provide access to the translated Scriptures. By logging onto scriptureearth.org you will find about 250 Bibles and New Testaments. Right now they are mostly from the Americas. Scripture is being added daily.

The goal is to post all minority language translations from around the globe! You will want to take a look! Find a language that you have never heard of from Brazil or another country and read a few lines. By having the translated Scriptures available online, individuals will be able to download their New Testament to their cell phone, computer, or to the Bible Society, who will print it out and send it to them for a very nominal fee.

Praise the Lord for the technology He is providing for disseminating His Word!
