Audio Bible Ministry Reaches Amazon Tribes

Audio Bibles are reaching the farthest corners of the earth.

Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) May 12, 2008 -- Audio Bibles are reaching the farthest
corners of the earth.

In the Brazilian rain forest, the small village of Makita sits along the muddy
banks of an Amazon River tributary. When the conditions are ideal, the trip
takes two days by boat.

Jeff Scott, an American church leader, and his short-term mission team arrive at
Makita and are welcomed by the villagers and swarms of mosquitoes and flies.

Scott and his team notice a small church building that was built by a previous
mission team. Inside, bats rest overhead and tarantulas patrol dark corners. In
this village and the thousands like it, which dot the Amazon's riverbanks,
people live with limited access to clean water, the outside world and the Word
of God.

In fact, Brazil has 258 tribes, and almost as many different languages - 235.
More than 90 of these tribes are cut off from the outside world, living deep in
the rain forest and firmly protected by the Brazilian government. Out of these
258 tribes, only 20 have strong, indigenous church leadership.
