The people of Makita, a village along the Amazon River, can now listen to the New Testament.  A mission team, sent by Faith Comes By Hearing, traveled two days by boat to bring an audio player to the Brazilian village.  Makita villagers, including the pastor, are illiterate.  “I have never encountered people so hungry and begging for help in their walk with Christ,” said the team leader.
More than 90 tribes in Brazil are completely cut off from the outside world.  Oral learners make up two-thirds of the world’s population, and 380,000 of them live in the Amazon Basin.  Production on New Testament recordings in 38 languages begins in early July.
