“If God is going to speak to me, he should speak my language”, the old Indian tribesman said. “Your Bible is not in my language and I couldn’t read it anyway!”
Yousef and his family are poor, live in a slum and are among the millions affected by AIDS in Southern Africa. He needs help! But how is he going to learn the fact about AIDS when he can’t read?
Usha lives in a small village in Asia where many suffer from chronic but preventable diseases. Basic education in hygiene and community health could make all the difference. But community health workers are few and far between and no one in Usha’s village can read the government literature. How can she get the help she needs?
The answer to these and many similar situations is now available.
Global Recording Network Australia of Castle Hill announces the arrival of the SABER hand-wind mp3 audio player.
Designed primarily to tell people the good news of Jesus Christ in every language and dialect, the SABER will bring help and hope to many people who live in remote locations. It is simple to use and important messages in any language can be easily loaded from the Internet or a computer onto the 1 GB of onboard memory – enough for 40-50 hours of recording or more! An SD card slot enables even more material to be stored. The built in amplifier and 3-inch speaker make it possible for scores of people to listen together.
The SABER never runs out of power! Built in batteries can be recharged from solar panels, mains supply, an external battery pack or by winding the crank handle.
The SABER will prove an invaluable tool for the developing world, especially in the areas of evangelism and Bible teaching, health and general education, communicating community or government announcements, audio books and stories, teaching songs and literacy development.
More than two thirds of the world’s population are oral communicators; they don’t make use of books to any great extent. They learn by hearing. “So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.” (Rom 10:17 NLT)
The SABER is the brain-child of Ray Mackaway of Winston Hills and is manufactured by a team of dedicated volunteers from the North West of Sydney.
