For the wider area Global Prayer Digest - Gospel Recordings (GR) Work Among Tibetans "They shall still bear fruit in old age" (Ps. 92:14). Stephanie was about 60 years of age when she must have said: "Here I am again, Lord. Send me!" Earlier, this missionary had felt led to send a Bible and some Gospel Recordings to the exiled Dalai Lama. Now she felt God calling her to go to talk with him. She left with $100 in her purse, but once there she felt the need to share the gospel with any Tibetan who would listen. What she thought to be a brief visit turned into 20 years, going from Buddhist temple to Buddhist temple, and from village to village, sharing the Good News. Her tools were Gospel Recordings and Christian literature. In one large Tibetan camp of 1300 people, the principal of a school set two chairs outside the door-one for Stephanie and one for her GR player. As she began to play, a crowd quickly gathered, both children and old folk. For two hours they sat, spellbound, listening to the life-giving gospel message and being introduced to the Savior for the very first time! Yes, Stephanie did find Tibetans who were willing to listen! Last year the 90-year-old plus missionary went to be with her Lord, but the work carries on.
Every short-term mission team can evangelize, says Talking Bibles Talking Bibles International's Paul Hoekstra says "People in churches are going out now on short-term mission trips and we're encouraging them to equip themselves, and then when they get to where they're doing the missions outreach work to look around for people that are on the periphery, the marginalized, those that aren't in the mainstream and leave behind with them a talking Bible." Talking Bibles are small audio Bibles, designed for illiterate people to have God's Word in their heart language. Hoekstra says they're having an impact. "In Tanzania, one man had received a Talking Bible and he began using it in a group of people and he shortly thereafter reported to us that they had baptized 10 new believers out of that group that he had started. Now this is a non-literate person, who had a desire to share and witness."
