A Bountiful Increase

God is using your prayers and financial support in Latin America! Jim and Jamie Loker, ASM Latin America Directors, report that God’s Word is spreading throughout Mexico’s 250+ languages.

Just as farmers tend their fields but depend on God to provide sun and rain for seeds to flourish, the Lokers see God growing Gospel seed in unexpected ways.

“Every year we pray about Bible translations that may or may not be ready for recording,” says Jamie. Challenges like identifying native speakers able to read their language, scheduling conflicts with recording technicians, and even natural obstacles—from cicadas to mudslides—can impede recording progress.

Despite these barriers, God always provides a way for His work to continue! Recently, the Mexico Team saw a “bountiful increase in completed Old Testament translations awaiting recording”—a long-awaited answer to prayer. Praise the Lord also for the increasing number of indigenous translators taking initiative to revise and translate additional books of the Bible, opening doors to additional audio Bible recordings.

Your generous provision of audio Bibles means God’s Word is being sown broadly. “In the past we were forced to be very selective,” they reflected, “but now through your generosity our team can more freely distribute audio Bibles to friends and neighbors of those who received the initial audio Bible devices, helping multiply the impact of God’s Word throughout entire communities.”

That’s the fruit of your investment—because of you, God’s Word is resounding through more Mexican villages to produce a Gospel harvest, growing God’s Kingdom one transformed life at a time.
