INDIAN BIBLES ONLINE
| Sam, a key member of Indeos Foundation, writes: "Last summer, when I was in India, I was looking for ways to get Kannada Bible online as part of the iYesu project (putting Indian Bibles and other content online). The overwhelming usage of Hindi http://hindibible.org/, Malayalam www.Malayalambible.org/ and Tamil www.indiabible.com/tamilbible Bibles on the web, encouraged us to explore other Indian language Bibles. We needed people with language and computing skills to help us take Kannada Bible online. It was quite accidental that I ran into an old ministry friend who was involved with a digital bridging project of imparting computer skills to slum dwellers (mostly Hindu and middle-school drop outs) in a major southern city. And he readily agreed to help us out with Kannada Bible content. Late last year, they began data entry and proofreading of Kannada Bible and have completed all books of NT, and first 10 books of OT. They gather everyday in a local church facility, to read and type in the Kannada Bible verse by verse. We are hoping finish it by 2003 summer: http://kannadabible.com "As a result of the newly acquired skills many of them were able to find jobs and stake their claim in the digital world. Can you imagine a few slum kids being a blessing to the whole Kannada-speaking people around the world? "In an email report from the team, two of the slum girls have accepted Jesus as their Saviour and are taking baptism. Just engaging them to type scripture has convicted them of their sins and brought them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Praise God! Please pray for them and others working on iYesu project. The iYesu project is funded by many well wishers from technology industry in the US. We are hoping to undertake bibles in 5 more languages (Telugu, Gujurati, Bengali, Urdu and Marathi). Each language costs us almost 10,000 dollars and takes over an year. Pray that many would explore scriptures online and experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Pray also for funds to undertake other Bibles soon." |
