This is a story told by a Cameroonian pastor:
I am a blind man and the leader of the Church of village S. When I became blind many years ago, I was discouraged and hopeless, but the Word of God continued to comfort me. The only problem I had was that I could not read though I had a Bible. It was not easy to get someone to be reading to me at home. On Sundays, someone reads while I preach. The other days of the week, I don’t have the opportunity to hear the Word of God as often as I would like. Sometimes I wanted to backslide, but I continued to pray for this situation until, one day, an Audio Bible was introduced to our church. After receiving the Proclaimer and the explanation to run the program, I was very happy because now I have the opportunity to hear more of the Word of God and understand it better as it is in my own language. Now, I have more hope in my life than ever before. The worries of getting someone to read for me and the idea of backsliding have disappeared. The time I spend in the Word has multiplied by ten. I can now preach better than before, and this has made some of our Christians who backslid to come back into the church. I am thankful to God for this marvelous tool!
