The First-ever Burmese Study Bible (Forever Grateful Moments)

“A Study Bible for new believers in the Burmese language is desperately needed!”, shared Jacob Mung with British author Martin Manser in 2013. Martin and his co-author/editor, Mike Beaumont, began developing the study notes and helps for this Bible.

George and I were going to a convention in South India but before leaving the Lord had said to me, “Take an Urdu Bible”. Urdu? I thought. There are not many Urdu speakers in the south.

The Digital Age’ by Neil Wardrope

It was my personal wakeup moment that we needed to grasp the opportunities and challenges of the digital age. The young Romanian was encouraged to build a website platform, not only for Romania, but also for many CLC teams around the world.

Indonesia: Tsunami 2004

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on 26 December triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000 people in 14 countries and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres high.

The CLC team was able to help by using the Book Mobile van to take tents, medicines, toiletries, water and food to various affected cities and towns. They also gave away the Word of God, particularly New Testaments.

Benin - Answers to Prayers!

There are many other marvellous stories which show us that God is in control and that He is the one accomplishing these works!

At the end of 2010, Colombia suffered devastating floods. Elsa Maria Noy de Sanchez wrote at the time: “There are currently more than two million people who have lost everything — or what little they had. Most of these people have nowhere to sleep, no food, no clothing and no jobs. The situation is very distressing, and our hearts feel the sadness and despair — some people say they have even lost hope.

Resurrecting Publishing in Romania

Then God opened doors for us and gave us opportunities for a new start. A publisher suggested that CLC got involved in a bilingual co-edition of a beautiful Bible for children. At that time we did not have either the ‘know-how’ or the resources for it, but we accepted it as a challenge and as an opportunity...
