tanzania-5-20-2009"Sitting very still in a dimly lit church, about 15 adults and children look almost statuesque … It's as though they're afraid to move for fear they might miss a word that boomed from a black box placed in front of them..."

(Tanzania)—The Proclaimer is a solar-powered audio Bible that delivers the Word of God from simple black box (emblazoned with the word "Proclaimer") distributed to various nations as part of the "Faith Comes By Hearing" program sponsored by the Bible Society.

As reported by Christian Today, in the Tanzanian village of Nala small groups meeting weekly to listen to the Bible are being impacted.

Says 60-something villager Margaret Lucinde, noting that listening to the Bible has brough real changes to her life: "I've been a Christian all my life, but I knew I wasn't saved until I heard God speak to my heart for the first time through the Proclaimer. And it has introduced me to God's great love. The Proclaimer The Proclaimeris my only source of faith because it's the only way I can hear what God is saying to me."

"These listening groups have a strong impact on the lives of people. It's the only way some people can connect with God's Word. Even non-Christians are drawn by the stories and some have come to faith through it," said Edward Kwamela, the Faith Comes by Hearing coordinator.
