They are hungry people. It’s not a hunger for food to fill their bellies.

They are hungry for spiritual sustenance.

They have no Bible in their language and no access to a traditional church. Living in villages embedded in the African desert, their access to television and internet is nearly non-existent.

In other words, they have had no access to the Gospel. They are among millions in their country who still have no witness of Jesus available to them.

Caleb and Jaclyn are making use of simple technology to change that.

They have been working on a project to translate and record a radio program called “The Way of Righteousness.” This 100-lesson program walks listeners through the Bible, from creation to Christ.

While the program is not yet complete in its entirety, they have distributed large portions of it on solar-powered players to people living throughout the region. The response has been enthusiastic.

Last week Caleb and Jaclyn traveled across the bush to visit friends living in remote villages. They met with Aisata, a woman who has received one of the solar-powered radios. “This speaks my language!” she broke out as she greeted them. “I understand it all, and what I hear warms my heart!” She described how people were coming to her home, traveling from distant villages, to hear the stories of the prophets in their own language.

Aisata told Caleb and Jaclyn about relatives in another village that were asking for their own radio player so they could listen to the stories. Wasting no time, the three of them piled into the car and trekked across the sand dunes to deliver the radios.

In the village they met a blind man who spends most of his days sitting on a mat in front of the family home since he is unable to help in the fields. He gratefully received a radio player, excited to listen to the story of redemption in his own language while others worked in the fields.

The radio program is in the final stages of production and the first lessons are already being broadcast on regional airwaves. With each lesson airing five times a week, thousands of people across the region now have the opportunity to hear the Gospel.
