Dear beloved MegaVoice partners,
As we celebrate 36 years since the Lord gave the vision of an audio Bible, with no moving parts, nothing to wear out, lightweight, compact, rugged, easy to use by the blind, those disabled, busy people, and powered by the sun and where the message is secure. I want to thank you for the indispensable part you play, in the task of us fulfilling the commission, the Lord gave right at the beginning, “Let the whole world hear His voice.”
Let me tell you a story of which you are now a key part. In 1982 I had prayed, asking the Lord if, with the Holy Spirits help, we could create a Bible for everyone. That means for the blind, deaf, aged, disabled, crippled by leprosy non-literate, all who are untouched by the printed word, and those hindered by belonging to other belief systems.
In 1985, He gave the ability to create MegaWord, which we called for commercial applications, The SmartBook. Later, other companies brought to our world, today’s iPad. The first design of a MegaVoice audio Bible, “God put into my heart” (Nehemiah 2,12.) on January 11th, 1988. This again was in answer to a very simple prayer, as I had learned that most of the world’s people cannot, do not, or will not read. As with the SmartBook, I wanted to store God’s Word on a tiny chip of rock (silicone). At that time we could only store 10 seconds of speech. But the vision The Lord gave was to broadcast, 810,677 words that God had moved 40 men to write, and in any language, which we call, The Holy Bible.
Yes, some thought such a thing, a crazy dream, even impossible! However, I was again inspired and encouraged by God’s Word when I read, “With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19.26.)
I asked the Lord to lead me to someone skilled in electronics to develop this seemingly impossible vision. He led me to a man on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. American Ken Crowell with his wife, set up a very advanced electronics company in the city of Tiberias. A little while later the Lord added J. Rudolf Geigy to the Founders Team. On hearing the story and seeing my early designs, Ken’s smile said it all, as he said, “Well Tom, it’s never been done before, but with God’s help we’ll do it!” There have been many struggle times and amazing, miraculous stories to tell, of God working through very generous donors and many gifted men and women, over these 35 years Together we have brought our global, MegaVoice ministries to where we stand today. Thank you for whatever part you have played and are playing, to move us forward in 2023.
What’s Next? This question is one I am often asked. My response is, “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it” (Isaiah 43,19.) By God’s enabling and your dedication, this can be a very significant period of expansion, in our global ministry of MegaVoice.
1 MegaVoice Ambassadors Inspire and encourage all our MegaVoice board members, staff, Global Associates, and supporters, to take up every opportunity to promote and welcome their and your friends, to play their part in our ministry.
2 Expand our database, our donor base, and prayer support fellowship. Use every means to educate and motivate our whole global team to see how imperative it is for us all to build these three areas of support we offer. We welcome many people to be actively involved in our wonderful, global, Bible ministry.
3 Inform the world of our ministry to the blind vision impaired and disabled worlds. With our specially designed Envoy Connect, PathwayLight players and unique “content loaders/Kiosk’s,” introduce and impact all the world’s libraries. Public, education, colleges, Christian institutions, churches etc. (Replace CDs with megavoice players!)
4 Shake the deaf, hearing impaired, and disabled world, with the news of our unique, astounding, first-ever, dedicated- Bible, video player we call, “The MegaVoice Envision.” Yes, it has been designed and released for possibly the largest, less-reached, mass of people in the world. It offers features no other player has ever offered these dear people. It will speed up the whole process of translation and producing available textual material in the 440 Sign languages of the world. The MegaVoice Envision also has limitless use to serve, all those creating surging amounts of video material of every kind.
5 Exploring and developing with partners, digitized, text-to-speech, and text-animated visual presentation.
6 With the new PocketVoice, expanding our partnership with major evangelistic initiatives such as “The Decade of Evangelism,” Gafcon, Jesus for All, Let the Whole World Hear His Voice, 1 Billion, and many others.
7 Intentionally promoting and providing a low-cost Bible, in selected languages, in unprecedented quantities, to enable The Word of God to transform the lives of multiplied millions in the desperately hungering, “M” world.
8 To encourage Christians worldwide when inspired by God’s Holy Spirit to become;– Donors, and investors of their time, leave money in their wills, sponsors, grant, foundation, and trust supporters, event organizers, and participants, benefactors, and prayer warriors.
9 Expand and nurture, dynamic MegaVoice Media Centres. These very effective centers are desperately needed for us to dramatically impact our world, with the saving message of Jesus and His love for lost mankind. There are exciting, honorary roles just waiting to be filled, to grow and inspire these important centers.
10 Make a sensitive, well-created plan, for our MegaVoice Global Centre in Galilee, to be seen as one is blessing to the increasing and diverse people of that land and from there, the whole world. These are very exciting days of unprecedented opportunity to enable the world to hear of the love of the Lord Jesus and to fall into His open arms.
Look up, the King is coming,
