Roger and Joanne helped the Ayta people in the Philippines understand the Bible in their own language. Using Bible storytelling, drama, audio and video the Ayta have been impacted by God's Word.
Bibleless people groups in other SE Asian countries have much less access to Christianity and the Bible. The Greens brought their creativity to Thailand and a neighboring country during the last 8 years helping train local Christians to teach the Bible.
The Greens returned to Thailand in 2021 to continue training local Christians in promoting the Bible in languages where a translation is in progress. One way these new translations are promoted is by recording them and sharing the recordings on players, phone apps, and the internet. Hundreds of audio Bible players have been distributed the last 3 years to people in such remote areas there is no internet and few churches. One grandmother enjoyed her audio Bible so much she played it every evening until after midnight. After some time her family asked her if she could please turn it off at 10 pm so they could sleep.
Another way the Bible is shared is via Facebook pages in individual languages. A Facebook page can feature a verse a day, or a Bible story video clip with the vernacular language dubbed in the sound track. Since Facebook is so popular even in remote areas many people see these pages. Pray more can be developed including pages teaching reading in these languages.
Please prayerfully consider joining the Greens' Wycliffe ministry team through prayer and/or financial partnership.

Wycliffe Ministry Budget
Wycliffe establishes a Ministry Budget for its members to reflect recurring expenses related to family factors and their geographic location of service. Giving to Wycliffe directly impacts members' ability to begin and remain in their assignment.
This monthly budget covers ministry-related expenses, insurance and retirement, social security and taxes, and Wycliffe administrative costs. The remainder is what the members receive as "take-home pay" for their daily living expenses.
