With his eyesight failing, a Zanaki man will never be able to read the Zanaki Scriptures for himself.
He had heard about the Zanaki Bible translation, but had not had much exposure to it himself. He was surprised to hear that not only is the Bible being translated but it is being recorded as well. With Zanaki audio Scriptures on a Megavoice player, he knows he can overcome his physical barriers and meet his spiritual need to hear God speak in his own language.
When he received an audio Bible at the end of the workshop his face lit up, “This is going to be such a help to me! I am going to use it every night.”
