What role are you playing in advancing the Kingdom of God? Well, see to it that you get an answer to this and sign up for the business of making Jesus famous. Your contribution to the Great Commission is important.
Here is a contribution from one of our partners in using digital media tools to share the Good News. David Palusky is the founder of the Renew World Outreach which is a community of believers who innovatively use tech skills to ensure that Gods’ word is available to people in their heart languages across the globe. This Word is availed through audio-visual equipment developed by this team.
Birthing the idea
David and a team of missionaries visited Amazon in Peru, South America in 1998 to share God’s word with a group of people in a remote place known as Urarina. These people speak an extremely difficult-to-translate language. The missionaries discovered that these people suffered many problems including diseases and malnutrition. As they engaged on how they could help, the chief told them “Bring Me God’s Word in My Language!”
This response inspired David and his wife Stephanie to visit the Urarina New Testament Wycliffe Bible Translators and share the burden of making God’s Word available to this group of people. It was then that the idea of partnering to record the Jesus Film in the Urarina language came about. Days later, Jesus’ film was recorded in the Urarina language. David remembers one Urarina man saying, “We’ve been waiting our whole lives to hear this!”
This reception of God’s Word moved David to ask himself a question, “How can we present the Gospel to remote people and empower their native leaders to disciple their tribes? Convinced to contribute to this initiative, he left his business and fully used his talent and electrical engineering skills to develop tools to advance the Gospel in remote areas such as Urarina. In 2005, David developed a solar-powered audio/video system for presenting the Gospel to individuals and large groups without the need for electricity or internet.
The impact of these tools inspired David and his brother to begin Renew World Outreach, the sole motive being to equip the body of Christ to take the Gospel to the hard-to-reach parts of the earth.
Kenya is the latest country in Africa to receive some of these tools to help share Jesus in both audio and visual formats among the un reached and unengaged communities.
Can God use you too?
Yes! in whichever field you are in to advance his Kingdom. David says,” God has given us a responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission and He has endowed us with much potential to actualize the same.
