He was a sheep herder in Peru. Salvador had heard about Jesus, accepted the Gospel, and was baptized in the river.
“One day we came back to visit him, and heard him singing joyfully, ‘Alabaré, alabaré’—filling the whole valley with praise,” Dale, an ASM Gospel Partner shared. “But Salvador couldn’t read, and hardly knew anything about Jesus. So back then, we had cassette tapes of the Bible in his language and gave him those.” Later, Dale also brought him a digital audio Bible.
Recently two of Salvador’s adult sons came to visit Dale and his wife, Naomi, in Colorado. “They told us: ‘You gave our father an audio Bible. He brought it home, and it has changed our whole family.’” That was 20+ years ago!
It’s so wonderful to see someone’s face light up when they hear God’s Word,” Dale adds. “Especially if they can’t read. We’ve been doing this for forty years.” These Gospel Partners minister all over the world, and are eager to plant more seeds. “We’re only 84 now,” he notes with a grin. They have seen abundant fruit from sowing God’s Word. How is God leading you, like Dale and Naomi, to invest in His Great Harvest?
