Circular letter november/december 2004

Very Good News

« »

Our brother from Jakarta, Prof. Dr. Wimanjaya, has informed us that the Bible in Indonesia will be newly translated and published in 2005 without the word “Allah” anywhere in the text. Allah is the god of Islam and only belongs into the Koran and has nothing to do with the Almighty God the Jews and the Christians believe in. Our Brother Wimanjaya belongs to the translation team of the Bible Society in Jakarta. For many years he has translated our literature into the language of his country. After he had read our leaflet about the “religion of Islam”, he searched in the relevant literature and found confirmation that Allah has absolutely nothing to do with the God of the Bible. With the help of the LORD he succeeded in convincing the Bible Society accordingly and so the decision was made to publish a new Bible edition in Indonesia. For this we are very, very grateful to God.

Shalom! Invitation to partake in the next trip to Israel

God willing and time permitting,
the Israel-trip is planned from May 2nd to 13th, 2005.

A visit to the Bible land has provided a lasting blessing for many, especially for the young people. So far we do not know the exact price, but it will be around 1,600 Euro. The flight and all the sightseeing, bus tours, accommodations with breakfast and evening meals and all the usual tips are included. It would give us great joy to welcome many to participate in this trip to the Holy Land.

Flights and hotels must be reserved well ahead of time, so we ask you to announce your participation before the end of December 2004.
