BRIDGES: Mozambique, it's one of the poorest countries in Africa.
In fact over two decades ago it was perhaps the poorest country not only in Africa, but
even the world.
And what most people don't realize is that Mozambique is a Portuguese-speaking country.
BRIDGES: There is a dearth
of trustworthy resources available to them and at the same
time there's an abundance of resources that are not true to the historic Christian faith.
And so those resources sadly have shaped many of the theologians here in Mozambique.
SPEAKER:
Until you provide the literature to help people understand their Bibles, or
the teaching to help them understand their Bibles, they don't get it anywhere else in
vast regions of the Mozambican church.
They've never heard of the real doctrines of Salvation by Grace through faith in Jesus
Christ.
And when they do, hear it and understanding with the help of the Holy Spirit, it produces
tremendous love for the truth, love for God.
A whole new vision of who God is.
It's been wonderful to see the transformation that's taken place in so many lives.
BRIDGES: So, over the last several years we've been able to partner with Fiel Ministries
to produce the Reformation Study Bible in Portuguese for the first time.
We're happy to be here to present the Reformation Study Bible as a gift to the church here in
Mozambique and to other countries in Southern Africa.
And we thank our donors and we thank our partners for making this possible.
SANTOS: It makes me think about how further we can go with the Reformation Study Bible
that we were able just to bring over 500 of them to this country.
I can only imagine how this resource will enrich their biblical studies.
