Transformation
The Bible is not just inspirational – it’s transformational.
Fifteen years ago many Russians would have considered themselves atheists but no more… Chinese people from all walks of life are now enjoying the Bible… Many immigrants, including Sudanese refugees, are engaging with God’s Word and are sharing the good news with unchurched Aussie neighbours…
“When I was sent to jail I didn’t know God. But when I started to listen to the tapes, I got to know him. I have seen the power of the Word in my life and the change that happened.”

“The Lord has allowed that my ears and eyes have not failed me in my old age, so I want to use these gifts to learn as many words as I can, read some of the Bible for myself and understand the Lord’s paths better while I still have time.”

”An Islamic man shared his belief that all of God’s books were authentic. He was currently reading through the Koran, and the chaplain, never one to miss an opportunity to share God’s Word, managed to find a copy of the Arabic New Testament for him. The man’s face glowed when he received it. He soon read it all and was requesting the Old Testament too.”

"In recent years, I have been hearing more and more people in the
business world talking about their desire to put something back into
the community and spend more time with their families. Plainly, this is in response to a recognition that their lives may
have been out of balance or simply that it was time for a change.
Busyness is just another thing which can weigh us down. It was Jesus
who said, ‘If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and
I will give you rest’. This is as much a promise to the business person
as it is to anyone else seeking to carry out God’s will."

“The Word of God speaks to you; it encourages and corrects you; it
is the source of life. It is the most important book you will ever
read.”
