Multi-Language Publications

Multi-Language Publications has been a blessing to our work here in the Dominican Republic because many of the Bible studies and Evangelism resources we use were produced by them. Following is a four minute video highlighting their work and how they contribute to sharing the Gospel message of God's forgiveness in many, many languages and cultures throughout the world.

Here is a quick, but hopefully fun, entry.  Can you decipher the following sign (written in Spanish)?
Does this help?
  • SuPERCOL eL PiCAZO TE iNbiTA ESTE BiErNE 27 A SE LEbrAL EL DiA de LA Madres CON RAUL ROdrige y SU CON gUNTO de VAChaTA y MUChoMA --  TE ESPErAMO Aqui
How about this?  (corrected spelling)
  • Supercolmado El Picazo te invita este viernes 27 a celebrar el Dia de las Madres con Raul Rodriguez y su conjunto de bachata y mucho mas --  te esperamos aqui
Here's a rough translation:
  • El Picazo grocery store invites you this Friday, the 27th, to celebrate Mother's Day with Raul Rodriguez and his group (band) of bachata (a style of Dominican music) and much more --  we hope to see you here.

The Lord bless you with his peace,  :-)

Break the code

Here's some fun: Can you decipher this note that was left for me the other day? I'll help by typing it out:

Natan tiene un paquete en Bisne emiu

The first part is easy: "Nathan, you have a package in..." But what's "Bisne emiu"??? It took me two days to figure it out. "Bisne emiu" is how my Spanish speaking friend understood "Business Mail", the name of my mail service back in the states! :-)

Spread, oh, Spread The Mighty Word

Preach the Word. Every week the gospel is spread in the Dominican Republic in three different languages.

The Haitians meet and preach God’s Word in French to their members and visitors. The Word is spread and taken to Haitian households.

The Dominicans spread the Gospel message in Spanish. The Word is spread and shared in Dominican homes.

The English speakers meet for a weekly Bible study and encourage each other in English. The Word is spread and strength is received to continue spreading the Word to others.

Occasionally all three groups plan a joint activity and enjoy the fellowship of other believers. Christian love is shared and hearts are encouraged when we see other believers coming to hear and learn of the free forgiveness of sins and eternal life in heaven. The Word is spread and hearts are filled with joy at seeing the growth of others in the faith.

God’s Word is spread and shared in three different languages, encouraging hearts and building up faith in every believer. The Holy Spirit continues to be active in giving His gift of faith to many people of many different languages.

Thank you Heavenly Father for this gift of faith.

Thank you for this evidence of Your work among us.
