Trauma healing is the process of helping individuals recover from the emotional, psychological, and sometimes physical effects of traumatic experiences. It is provided by therapists, faith-based organizations, NGOs, and community groups, and there are many audio-based resources available to support healing, including guided meditations, audio courses, and narrated books.
Trauma Healing Institute (THI)
“Trauma Healing uses a Bible-based approach because it’s an effective way to help those who need to recover from their painful experiences, and reconnect with the Bible, God, others, and themselves. Our program combines the wisdom of scripture, proven mental health practices, and the power of community, and is delivered through accessible technology and small group settings. For more than 20 years, people of faith all over the world have been learning how to safely and effectively lead groups for vulnerable people so they can grow closer to God.”
The THI’s program comprise 13 chapters each about 30 minutes:
There are several providers of Trauma Healing training

This is a headline that causes much concern and our immediate reaction is that we should help.
The recent NewLife article about Nigeria with this title is hitting close to home. I visited the area in November to help establish our media centre, NetAccess, in Jos. The leader’s wife and daughter were recently abducted, but praise the Lord, they were released unharmed.
A colleague in Australia shared the NewLife article with me, and I contacted people in Jos. They confirmed that the article is correct. You can read more online at NewLife
Last year, we were able to distribute 500 Fulfulde Envoys to the Fulani people. We established relationships with several mission agencies and missionaries working among the Fulani, Hausa and other people groups.
The recent news underlines the need. Persecution is ongoing, but it rarely reaches us in other parts of the world. Both the persecuted and the persecutors will benefit from more audio Bibles in local languages such as Fulfulde and Hausa.
Please pray and consider contributing to this cause. https://megavoice.africa/donate/support_projects/#Nigeria
Pray for our brothers and sisters in the region to stand firm in their faith.

This morning, Carel and Rentia Nel collected 175 audio Bibles in Rendille from MegaVoice in Pretoria. They are travelling by road to northern Kenya.
🎉🎉We rejoice and celebrate because the Lord provided donor. 🎉🎉 He provided not only the NT already available in 2025 but 10 Old Testament books. We thank David Gargule and his team for translating and Theovision Kenya for recording.
Please continue to pray and uphold Carel and Rentia. They have about 16,000 km to cover before returning to Wolseley, near Cape Town, South Africa. They have many borders to cross, customs etc.
Pray for divine appointments and pray that God will use each Bible to reach many. May they study the Word and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
You can still support his project!
A Bible costs about R550 or US$30 each, but it depends on quantity, shipment to the final destination, and taxes. It also depends on the type of player appropriate, the specific audio content loaded, and royalties.
Any number of Bibles is welcome! Even the smallest amount makes a difference for God’s Kingdom.

I received the following in my inbox recently:
Hey brother, I am a missionary in Lesotho, and we met many years ago. We’ve purchased several audio Bibles from you over the years, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude. They have been a great blessing to many, especially to one family in particular. They have lived a hard life, but every time we visit them, they are listening to God’s word and smiling with joy! Thanks again

Samburu people need the Word of God. They need to know about Jesus.
Partner with us to make more audio Bibles available to our partners, churches, evangelists, and missionaries to reach the Samburu people.
The Samburu People of Northern Kenya
The Samburu people are a semi-nomadic pastoralist community residing in northern Kenya, closely related to the Maasai and sharing the Maa language. Their identity and traditions are deeply linked to cattle and community life. While some Christian denominations and missionary efforts have been active in the region, including the establishment of a few churches and outreach programs, the majority of the population still adheres to traditional beliefs.
Livestock and Daily Life
Livestock such as cattle, goats, sheep, and camels are central to Samburu identity, wealth, and survival. Herding provides food, trade, and strengthens community bonds. The people are predominantly Animistic, worshipping God and sacrificing to him on Mount Nyiro. This is seen as a place of ancestral meaning.
Challenges Faced
Despite their enduring spirit, the Samburu face significant challenges that impact their well-being, including high rates of illiteracy due to limited access to education in remote areas, exacerbated by nomadic lifestyles and poverty that prioritise herding over schooling, particularly for girls who often drop out early. Many Samburu communities face limited healthcare and clean water. Recurring droughts pose a threat to both families and livestock, while cultural and economic pressures significantly impact daily life. Child marriage remains prevalent in most communities, driven by cultural norms and financial pressure.
Why MegaVoice audio Bibles?
The spiritual framework of the Samburu, often expressed in ceremonies like circumcision and elder-led invocations, fosters a connection to the environment and community. Their lack of Christ, however, results in spiritual depravity, and they need Him, the gospel, and the teachings of the scripture for eternal life and help on how to live God honouring lives. There is a clear spiritual and practical need for deeper Christian outreach, discipleship, and the availability of Scripture in their native language. Many Samburu people have limited access to printed Scripture, and literacy is often low. MegaVoice audio Bibles allow the Gospel to be heard in their own language, wherever they are. Christianity has only recently been introduced to them in the area.
Will You Help Bring God’s Word to the Samburu?
Our partner in Kenya, Missionary Mick Alley, sent us his request for our MegaVoice audio Bibles. He says, “The greatest need for us is the MegaVoice audio Bible with God’s Word in the heart language of the people. There are over tens of thousands of illiterate people in the area where we work where we have not yet been able to provide an audio Bible. The Word of God really makes a difference to these people. Those elders we were able to give an audio Bible to, are truly thankful and full of joy. Since they received the Word of God, their relationship with God has grown stronger, and their lives are now guided by His truth. With over 15000 people in the area and only about 300 audio Bibles distributed so far, there is still much opportunity and need for many more audio Bibles. Can you please help?”
