Last year I took a new Proclaimer to the Orphanage. It plays an audio drama of the New Testament in Acholi (their language). This year it is still a beacon of light and a ray of hope in the village of Pajok, South Sudan. Almost every day you can hear the New Testament being proclaimed! The kids will turn it on and sit down around it and listen to it over and over. They will rewind certain portions to listen again. One particular account is the demon possessed man and the pigs. The one that surprised me the most, though, was them listening to and reciting the genealogy in the beginning of Matthew! They will recite it, rewind it, and recite it again! Who says genealogies are boring???
David's aunt Angela will sit all day long and prepare greens, beans, or rice for dinner and listen to the proclaimer.
Praise God for His word!
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
This picture of Peter holding the Proclaimer is near and dear to my heart. He has the look of a boy with full understanding that he is hearing the eternal word of our Almighty God.
